There have been a few times I wanted the ability to select some text out of a Markdown doc. For example, a GitHub CI check to ensure that PRs / issues / etc are properly formatted. This can be done to some extent with regex, but those expressions are brittle and hard to read or edit later. mdq uses a familiar pipe syntax to navigate the Markdown in a structured way. It's in 0.x because I don't want to fully commit to the syntax being stable, in case real-world testing shows that the syntax needs tweaking. But I think the project is in a pretty good spot overall, and would be…

Creator here. I built lsq to solve a simple but annoying workflow problem: having to leave the terminal just to make quick notes in Logseq. Technical details: - Written in Go using Bubble Tea for the TUI - Reads Logseq's config.edn for format preferences - Supports both external editor ($EDITOR) and TUI modes - Handles both Markdown and Org formats Core design decisions: 1. Zero-config default installation (uses standard ~/Logseq path) 2. Single command to open today's journal (just 'lsq') 3. TUI mode for Logseq-specific features (TODO/priority cycling) The project started as a…

Hey HN! I built a native macOS desktop client for Hacker News and I'm open-sourcing it under the MIT license.

Hey everyone! I’m working on Telescope - an open-source web-based log viewer designed to make working with logs stored in ClickHouse easier and more intuitive. I wasn’t happy with existing log viewers - most of them force a specific log format, are tied to ingestion pipelines, or are just a small part of a larger platform. Others didn’t display logs the way I wanted. So I decided to build my own lightweight, flexible log viewer - one that actually fits my needs. Check it out: Video demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IItMOXwugY GitHub:…

Hi all! It's been a while since I posted something. Wrote this back in November to scratch an itch regarding tailing logs locally for multiple services. I know we all love jq...but I'm quite comfortable with SQLite and SQL so just wanted to use that instead. Published my first Rust crate today! My first public Rust project so be gentle :) . Hope you enjoy it! https://crates.io/crates/jlq https://github.com/hamin/jlq

I built qqqa as an open-source project, because I was tired of bouncing between shell, ChatGPT / the browser for rather simple commands. It comes with two binaries: qq and qa. qq means "quick question" - it is read-only, perfect for the commands I always forget. qa means "quick agent" - it is qq's sibling that can run things, but only after showing its plan and getting an approval by the user. It is built entirely around the Unix philosophy of focused tools, stateless by default - pretty much the opposite of what most coding agent are focusing on. Personally I've had the best experience…
