I wrote something like this a few years ago, except you could write shell scripts to transform the output to HTML. For example, if you have a CSV file, you could write a plugin to turn it into an HTML table. http://www.oilshell.org/webpipe/doc/webpipe.html http://www.oilshell.org/webpipe/doc/webpipe.html (If you click through the image there is a screencast) https://github.com/andychu/webpipe https://github.com/andychu/webpipe This was mildly successful, although I didn't feel the UI was that great. It can be a little awkward to have the GUI in a separate window than the CLI. Really I wanted some kind of tiling window manager, but I tried a few and they were surprisingly uncomfortable for a heavy CLI user like myself. I still think there is some way to unify the CLI and GUI that hasn't been invented.
