Interval, CLIs in browser with no front end code
Hey HN, I'm Alex, founder of Interval [0]. We’re bringing internal tools written like CLIs to the browser to make them more powerful, through a Node.js SDK which attaches them to a hosted dashboard without any frontend code. Large companies have full teams that work on internal dashboards and tooling. Interval brings that infrastructure to anyone. In our previous project we had ~65 CLI scripts for tasks like provisioning user accounts, moderating content, and migrating data. These were quick to write and powerful. They also turned into an ongoing timesuck. Non-technical coworkers needed to…
Interval, CLIs in browser with no front end code launched on June 7, 2022 with 58 votes, #788 of 3,005 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 4 years on.
In plain words
Interval is a Node.js SDK that transforms command-line scripts into browser-based internal tools without requiring frontend code. It lets developers quickly convert CLI utilities for tasks like account provisioning and data migration into web dashboards accessible to non-technical team members. The platform handles validation and permissions, reducing the need for engineers to manually run scripts while maintaining the speed and power of CLI development.

I made a CLI tool to create web extensions with no build configuration2024 · github.com · ▲381Hello HN! I'm the creator and solo developer of Extension.js, a development tool for browser extensions with built-in support for TypeScript, WebAssembly, React, and modern JavaScript. Developers use it to spend less time configuring the compilation config or learning new frameworks and more time actually writing code. Most projects similar to Extension.js rely on some sort of abstraction or configuration to get started, making the initial development process slow given the extra learning curve and setup guidelines. By using Extension.js, adding the package to your npm scripts is all it…

stagewise2025 · stagewise.io · ▲310Hey HN, we're Glenn and Julian, and we're building stagewise (https://stagewise.io), a frontend coding agent that inside your app’s dev mode and that makes changes in your local codebase. We’re compatible with any framework and any component library. Think of it like a v0 of Lovable that works locally and with any existing codebase. You can spawn the agent into locally running web apps in dev mode with `npx stagewise` from the project root. The agent lets you then click on HTML Elements in your app, enter prompts like 'increase the height here' and will implement the changes in…
Crust – A CLI framework for TypeScript and BunMar 2026 · github.com · ▲95We've been building Crust (https://crustjs.com/), a TypeScript-first, Bun-native CLI framework with zero dependencies. It's been powering our core product internally for a while, and we're now open-sourcing it. The problem we kept running into: existing CLI frameworks in the JS ecosystem are either minimal arg parsers where you wire everything yourself, or heavyweight frameworks with large dependency trees and Node-era assumptions. We wanted something in between. What Crust does differently: - Full type inference from definitions — args and flags are inferred automatically. No…

Talanoa▲346Hi 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…

I've seen some interests in (simulation) video games here on HN so I thought I'd share a short version of our story. More than 6 years ago, me and my friend from university were playing around with an idea of making a game we always wanted to play. We worked on it on weekends but the progress was quite slow, especially due to so many dead ends and wasted effort. Eventually however, we solidified our direction and decided to take the risk to resign from our well paid SWE jobs and work on it full time. It took more than a year but yesterday we have finally released it on Steam:…
