Products that do what Interactive Bash tutorial that runs in the browser does

I wrote a tutorial on how to create Bash scripts, where the command line interface runs entirely in the browser using v86 (https://github.com/copy/v86), and the code editor uses Monaco.

I wrote a Bash library▲10
Shelon: https://github.com/housni/sheldon It's not a framework, it's a library. It attempts to mimic function names in Python. Most functions work in Bash 4.3+ but there are those that work on older versions. The 'help' target in Makefile is on crack! Check the issues in that repo for upcoming features. Useful for DevOps Engineers or anyone who has to write Bash scripts.

A browser-based IDE with esbuild integration and JSX/TypeScript support▲7
Hey HN, I built a custom IDE in the browser as part of the Open Data Capture platform. It is based on the Monaco editor, which also powers VS Code. Unfortunately, there are very few examples online showing how to use Monaco with more advanced features (e.g., TypeScript/JSX support, Prettier integration, multiple files), so I figure this could be helpful for some folks out there. I built this to allow semi-technical users to design instruments (e.g., forms and interactive tasks) for our data capture platform. It includes a custom build toolchain, based on the esbuild-wasm build, that…

ShellTalk brings deterministic text-to-bash▲9
Hi HN! I built a CLI tool called ShellTalk for macOS, Linux, and web (WebAssembly) that maps English text to the corresponding Bash commands. ShellTalk is written in Swift and available under the Apache 2.0 license on GitHub. I was inspired a few weeks ago after reading the Meta-Harness paper and seeing a tool called Hunch that did something similar using the Apple Foundation model. I often forget flag names and orders, but I wanted something that worked consistently. The 3B AFM worked surprisingly well with Hunch, but it felt slow and sometimes slight changes in what I wrote would result in…
