24 alternatives to My first Go project, a useless animated bunny sign for your terminal
Hi HN, I wanted to share my very first (insignificant) project written in Go: a little CLI tool that displays messages with an animated bunny holding a sign. I wanted to learn Go and needed a small, fun project to get my hands dirty with the language and the process of building and distributing a CLI. I've built a similar tool in JavaScript before so I thought porting it would be a great learning exercise. This was a dive into Go's basics for me, from package structure and CLI flag parsing to building binaries for different platforms (never did that on my JS projects). I'm starting to…
This is a command-line tool that displays animated messages with a bunny character holding a sign in the terminal. Built in Go, it's designed for developers learning the language who want a fun, practical project. The… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes.

Let-go is a Clojure-like language (~90% compatible with JVM Clojure) written in pure Go. It ships as a ~10MB static binary and cold boots in ~7ms - that's about 50x faster than JVM and 3x faster than Babashka. It has decent throughput on algorithmic workloads - within ballpark of the GraalVM-backed sci. I started this project in 2021 as an elaborate practical joke: I wanted to have an excuse for writing Clojure while pretending to write Go. Jokes aside, it turned out to be pretty decent: it feels like real Clojure, it has an nREPL server (supported in Calva, CIDER, etc.), it's easily…

Hi hi, I made a little Halloween themed game this week to show off my new terminal. You can play it in the browser. at https://joel.tools/halloween/ Two years ago, I started building an experiment tracking tool for myself as I have been venturing into ai research, and it has morphed into a terminal with rich content support and a bunch of fancy features. https://github.com/JoelEinbinder/snail/ I can't recommend people start using snail for important stuff today, but I think the game is fun and it shows off a lot of the capabilities of the…

We built Gonzo to make log analysis faster and friendlier in the terminal. Think of it like k9s for logs — a TUI that can ingest JSON, text, or OpenTelemetry (OTLP) logs, highlight and boil up patterns, and even run AI models locally or via API to summarize logs. We’re still iterating, so ideas and contributions are welcome!

Hi HN, I built ggc (https://github.com/bmf-san/ggc), a terminal-based Git CLI tool written in Go. ggc provides: - A fast interactive UI (like `fzf`) for common Git operations - Traditional subcommands (e.g. `ggc add`, `ggc commit`) - Git-compatible config support (`ggc config` reads from `git config`) - Built-in aliases and workflow automation (e.g. `ggc addcommitpush`) The goal is to improve developer productivity by combining interactive workflows with scriptable CLI operations. It's still under active development, but I'd love feedback from the community! GitHub:…

I have been using golang at work and personally for more than 2 years now. A problem i faced when I started and the problem new gophers even today is how to structure the project. Most (if not all) golang tutorials seem to be very simple and do not describe how to structure a large application. Following project is an attempt to Showcase a manageable project layout for services in golang. https://github.com/spy16/droplets This project is far from complete. Would like to hear some feedback from the community before continuing on this.

Onboard-CLI—a blazing-fast developer tool I built in Go. It uses AST parsing (Tree-sitter) to map out codebase architecture and automatically blocks spaghetti code and bad dependencies locally before you even commit. I heavily optimized the concurrency, so it can parse 50k+ files in under 10 seconds.

There are plenty of good tools for load testing such as JMeter, Minigun, and plenty more - but they all have their own set of options to learn. I built this one to support a simpler workflow where you just paste your curl request (or other cli command) after your `spam` config (literally just `spam -r 2 -- curl www.google.com). It's pretty barebones but I'm 100% going to use it in my day to day - figured I'd share it here if it helped anyone else!

Hi HN, I'm thrilled to share with you think, a command-line tool that I developed while diving back into the programming scene. For the past few years, my focus had shifted from hands-on programming to managerial roles, my last one being at Affirm (I started Affirm's Polish office). However, I recently left my job to revisit my passion for coding and see if I could still write code that works. Not to mention that with what is currently going on in AI if you are a developer this probably the best possible time for a sabbatical in human history :) My first attempt was with LangChain, but I…
