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…

My partner reviews a lot of P&IDs (piping and instrumentation diagrams) and the adjacent files involved (excel, docx, pdfs, acd/l5x, etc). In his company, these are usually done in Bluebeam. It's really hard to see the diff + keep track of all the revisions resulted by these iterations. They end up storing files like "rev3_final_redlined.pdf". We've been looking for something close to Github to do these reviews, but haven't found one easy enough for folks with no CLI experience to understand and use (happy to check out more tools if you know any). So I built withkord.com to help with…

This program provides a simple way of visualizing the different regions of a binary file. Written in C, depends only on libpng. Currently (commit 1dd42e3) it is able to generate PNG images that represent various aspects of the binary: - Grayscale: Byte values, 00..FF. - Ascii: Printability of each byte. - Entropy: Of a "block", changed with --block-size. - Histogram: Bar graph of the byte frequencies. - Bigrams: Each point is determined by a pair of bytes. - Dotplot: Measure self-similarity. Image width/height is N^2. In the future, I plan on adding an SDL version that allows the user…

Repo: https://github.com/PabloLec/RecoverPy Hi! I just released RecoverPy version 2.0.0 and wanted to share it with you. RecoverPy is a tool with Terminal User Interface to recover deleted and/or overwritten data from your terminal. Version 1.0.0 was released probably around 2 years ago and I was quite amazed by how popular it got :) The initial audience was people trying to recover lost files, but it stuck with hacking/forensics community, I even got to receive mails to appear in hacking magazines and blogs. That was quite unanticipated but I'm glad it's useful…

Hey HN, solo dev here. After years of frustration with how LLMs handle complex documents, especially PDFs with tables, I decided to build a solution myself. My approach uses a Markdown conversion step to preserve the table structure, which seems to work surprisingly well for chunking. This little parser is the first public piece of a much larger, privacy-focused AI platform I'm building. I'm pretty much running on fumes financially, so any feedback, critique, or support is massively appreciated. Happy to answer any questions about the approach!

ddrescue-helper.sh is a bash script to make running GNU ddrescue easier.

This is a pure bash script that hooks you up to the majesty that is GNU ddrescue, and makes it more useful. For Linux and macOS. Rescue... - device-to-device - device-to-file (image) - file-to-file Consistency checks help avoid user mistakes, such as trying to place the domain map on a target device, or targeting the boot drive.
