   MakeMe – A Makefile tool rewritten from Fish to Go▲6

   Hi HN, A few years ago, I wrote a tool called MakeMeFish. MakeMeFish is a wrapper around fzf to list Makefile targets and show what they contain. I use MakeMeFish myself every day, it's a pretty simple tool but it has been immensely useful to me and many others. MakeMeFish is great, but only works in Fish shell. I've been planning a rewrite to support other shells for years, but hadn't gotten around to do it. We all know that AI tools are great at writing boilerplate python, js and java code, but struggle with novel and edge case code. When Gemini 2.5 was released, I used MakeMeFish as my…

    Generate E2E tests for your applications from its URL▲5

    Hi Hackernews, I’m Marvin from playrun.dev (https://playrun.dev), a platform for generating end-to-end tests for your application using just the URL. I recently worked on a project rewrite with a small team on a tight deadline. We needed to keep shipping while also writing tests for the application. We believed unit tests were a waste of time and decided e2e tests were the way to go, but doing so manually was still time-consuming and made shipping slower. Testing is one of those things we do as engineers that don’t have immediate ROI, and it was almost impossible to make the…

    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.
