Products that do what CineCLI – Browse and torrent movies directly from your terminal does
Hi HN I built CineCLI — a cross-platform terminal app to browse movies, view details, and open torrents directly in your system torrent client. Features: - Search movies from the terminal - Rich UI with ratings, runtime, genres - Interactive & non-interactive modes - Magnet handling via system default client - Linux/macOS/Windows support - No ads, no tracking GitHub: https://github.com/eyeblech/cinecli PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/cinecli/ Would love feedback from terminal + Python folks

Some two years ago, I found myself spending a lot of time in the terminal between learning vim and discovering new command line tools. I was surprised to see that the niche of HN clis was (relatively) small, and so I decided to write my own command line tool for browsing HN called `circumflex`(`clx`). `clx` is written in Go using Bubble Tea[1]. You can read the comment section or the linked article in reader mode in the pager `less`. Using `lesskey` to add custom keybindings, the replies can be collapsed and expanded in real-time (but not individual replies, only all replies at once). Behind…

Scored 65.2% vs google's official 47.8%, and the existing top closed source model Junie CLI's 64.3%. Since there are a lot of reports of deliberate cheating on TerminalBench 2.0 lately (https://debugml.github.io/cheating-agents/), I would like to also clarify a few things 1. Absolutely no {agents/skills}.md files were inserted at any point. No cheating mechanisms whatsoever 2. The cli agent was run in leaderboard compliant way (no modification of resources or timeouts) 3. The full terminal bench run was done using the fully open source version of the agent, no…

I got tired of open file.docx → wait 8 seconds → close Word just to read a document, so I built a terminal-native Word viewer! What it does: * View `.docx` files directly in your terminal with (mostly) proper formatting * Tables actually look like tables (with Unicode borders!) * Nested lists work correctly with indentation * Full-text search with highlighting * Copy content straight to clipboard with `c` * Export to markdown/CSV/JSON Why I made this: Working on servers over SSH, I constantly hit Word docs I needed to check quickly. The existing solutions I'm aware of either strip…

Hi HN, I’m Mike, the founder and creator of Wave, a cross-platform open-source terminal that supports inline rendering, modern UI, and persistent sessions. I love the command line; I’ve been using it for over 25 years, starting with a Linux box I made with spare parts in my college dorm room. But while other devtools have been modernized, the terminal has been stuck, with the same basic functionality for over 40-years. What if your command line terminal could display more than just text? That’s crazy right (I can hear the screams of thousands of graybeard sysadmins). Not all the time, but…

Hey HN, I built this over the last year as I always wanted to have an easy file and terminal access to all of my servers, including containers and clusters that you normally can't connect to with existing solutions out of the box. At first glance it might not look very novel, but if you dig a little deeper, you will see that the entire foundation of how it communicates with remote systems is completely different from any other solution out there. What happens in the background can essentially be explained this way: It launches a local shell process like cmd, sh, etc. and in it executes a…

I find existing BitTorrent clients offer a rather old user interface, and it's hard to set up remote access, involving setting up a web server, a TLS certificate, domain name, configuring the router, etc... PikaTorrent tries to offer a modern and easy UI. It is available on desktop (Linux & Windows for now), mobile (Android for now), as CLI as an npm package, and even on the web (as a frontend for remote control). Thanks to WebRTC, one can link the mobile or web app with the desktop or CLI app. This way, it's possible to remotely manage torrents securely and without any complicated setup.…

Hi everyone, Gridland is a runtime + ShadCN UI registry that makes it possible to build terminal apps that run in the browser as well as the native terminal. This is useful for demoing TUIs so that users know what they're getting before they are invested enough to install them. And, tbh, it's also just super fun! Gridland is the successor to Ink Web (ink-web.dev) which is the same concept, but using Ink + xterm.js. After building Ink Web, we continued experimenting and found that using OpenTUI and a canvas renderer performed better with less flickering and nearly instant load times. We're…

A terminal browser for reddit. I've spent the last few months learning golang and stumbled across the bubbletea libraries. I enjoyed playing around with it so much that I decided to create a reddit terminal applicaiton. Let me know what you think. Thanks!
