  • qqqa – A fast, stateless LLM-powered assistant for your shellNov 2025 · github.com · ▲165

    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…

    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.
