Bashfs – Run commands as your filesystem

In plain words

Bashfs is a filesystem tool that allows users to execute commands through filesystem operations. It works by translating file and directory interactions into bash commands, enabling an unconventional way to run scripts and programs. The project is designed for developers and technically advanced users interested in experimenting with creative interfaces between shell scripting and filesystem abstractions. Available on GitHub, it bridges the gap between traditional command-line usage and filesystem-based interaction.

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
