I recently came across Ramda CLI's interactive mode [1] It essentially hijacks pipe's input and output into browser where you can play with the Ramda command. Then you just close browser tab and Ramda CLI applies your changed code in the pipe, resuming its operation. Now I'm thinking all kinds ways I use pipe that I could "tee" through a browser app. I can use browser for interactive JSON manipulation, visualization and all around playing. I'm now looking for ways to generalize Ramda CLI's approach. Pipes, Unix files and HTTP don't seem directly compatible, but the promise is there. Unix tee command doesn't "pause" the pipe, but probably one could just introduce pause/resume output passthrough command into the pipe after it. Then web server tool can send the tee'd file to browser and catch output from there. [1] https://github.com/raine/ramda-cli#interactive-mode https://github.com/raine/ramda-cli#interactive-mode
