AISH
I built Aish because I wanted a shell that could help with troubleshooting and routine ops work without changing normal terminal usage. Regular commands still work as usual. On top of that, Aish can use live terminal output to help reason about errors, assist with multi-step tasks, and reduce the need to copy terminal output into another tool. It’s still early, but I’d love feedback on whether this feels useful in real shell workflows.

What it does
AISH is an open-source Linux shell built in Rust. It works like your normal terminal — run commands, ssh into servers, open vim, use top — everything through a real PTY. When you need help, type a leading semicolon and describe what you want in plain language. AISH generates the command, shows you a risk rating (low/medium/high), and waits for your OK before running anything dangerous. Apache-2.0. Bring your own model. All data stays local.

Warp, a Rust-based terminal2022 · warp.dev · ▲946Hi HN community, I’m Zach, founder and CEO of Warp, and am excited to show you Warp, a fast Rust-based terminal that’s easy to use and built for teams. As of today, Warp is in public beta and any Mac user can download it. It works with bash, zsh, and fish. The terminal’s teletype-like interface has made it hard for the CLI to thrive. After 20 years of programming, I still find it hard to copy a command’s output; I always forget how to use `tar`; and I always have to relearn how to move my cursor. To fix fundamental accessibility issues, I believe we need to start innovating on the terminal,…

I built GRSH because I wanted a modern, memory-safe shell that feels native to FreeBSD but works seamlessly on macOS. While there are many shells out there, GRSH is my take on a minimal, fast, and secure command interpreter written entirely in Rust. It's designed for users who want the safety guarantees of Rust without the overhead of more bloated alternatives. I'm currently working on the official FreeBSD port. I’d love to get feedback on the shell's behavior and performance from the community. Github: https://github.com/antoniomalara301289/grsh

Shelgon: A Framework for Building Interactive REPL Shells in Rust2025 · github.com · ▲130I've been working on Shelgon, a framework that lets you build your own custom REPL shells and interactive CLI applications in Rust. You can use Shelgon to: - Create a custom shell with only a few lines of code - Build interactive debugging tools with persistent state between commands - Develop domain-specific language interpreters with shell-like interfaces - Add REPL capabilities to existing applications Getting started is straightforward - implement a single trait that handles your command execution logic, and Shelgon takes care of the terminal UI, input handling, and async runtime…

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
