Ht – HTTPie Clone in Rust

In plain words

Ht is a command-line HTTP client written in Rust, offering an alternative to HTTPie. It enables developers to make and test HTTP requests directly from the terminal with a simplified syntax. The tool is designed for those who need a lightweight, fast utility for API testing and debugging without leaving their command line. As a Rust-based implementation, it provides improved performance compared to Python-based alternatives.

  ht-mcp – a Rust MCP server of headless terminal for agents2025 · github.com · ▲25

  We built a Rust MCP server, which wraps the excellent headless terminal (HT)[1] to makes it available for agentic coding tools. Most agentic coding tools struggle with blocking, interactive terminal tools (all the boilerplate generator, infra CLI tools etc). This is because many existing CLI dev tools are built for humans and require interactive input. We built this so agentic coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Memex, etc) can “see” and “interact” with terminals exactly like humans do. In our demo video [2], you'll see it operating vim/emacs just as a human would - selecting options,…

  Talanoa▲340

  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…
