Show HN: Scriptarious, a basic macOS app to create, edit and launch shell script
This is Scriptarious, a little macOS app to create, edit and launch shell scripts from the menubar.
Nothing fancy here just a basic application with
- Syntax highlighting (using highlight.js)
- Shortcuts/Hotkeys to launch shell scripts
- Some built-in scripts I use
To come:
- syncing (without iCloudKit)
- sharing
-
Feedbacks are welcome :-)
- lulzx 3y agoAwesome, thanks for sharing!
- trevize84 3y agoThank you
- ibdf 3y agoThis looks nice! It would be even better if you could access these scripts from Spotlight! As for now I have been writing .command scripts so that they show on Spotlight and can be executed from there.
- trevize84 3y agoHi, thx for your feedback. Will certainly be implemented in a next update.
- stephenr 3y agoAnyone else find it weird the first example sets language to “shell session” (which is likely to be zsh) then invokes bash… just to invoke osascript. It’s like a turducken of scripts.
- trevize84 3y agoThx for the feedback. I’ve certainly switch my brain off when writing this.
- stephenr 3y agoOk now I've downloaded it, it makes more sense, I think? The drop down for language is just for syntax highlighting right? It's slightly weird that a tool for "running scripts" offers to highlight something as HTML or CSS though. Might need to be a bit more specific about the options shown there. Also, in dark mode, the editor is unusable by default - it's black text on a very dark grey background.
- trevize84 3y agoYou are right, the dropdown is for syntax highlighting. It's just a version 0.2 so there is some weird things like that (list of languages). I will restrict this list, that a good point. From the settings you have access to other themes colours. Some of them are more confortable for dark mode.
- stephenr 3y agoRight, I just randomly picked `darkula` and it didn't improve (black on dark grey) but it seems it's just that one theme that's broken - the other "dark" ones do seem to be 'correct'.
