Using this felt similar to using the Github Launch Bar[1] for the first time.
Something about having a command line interface really makes it feel like you are communicating deeply with the software, as opposed to poking around its surface in arranged flows. With a command line the interaction is different - it is exploratory with freestyle flow composition, and that can be really fun.
Modern graphical interfaces combined with a means to freely manipulate data and compose commands seem to be quite rare. I have always wished to have a full command line accessible in RPGs inside the game's menu system, so I could script some tedious things.

- tubelite 14y agoSentiments I totally agree with. So much so that we started a side project to create a CLI environment for exploring the personal cloud. It's a web app which exposes your FB, Twitter, Picasa resources as files and navigate them using a shell and unix-like tools. It's not "launch-ready" yet - still got to write tests, docs, FAQs, and so on (i.e. the last 10% which takes 90%) but there is a live alpha version at https://pigshell.com https://pigshell.com. (Your data stays 100% private: The app is all static files and client-side JS. The server can't see a single bit of user data) And yes, Ctrl-L works. Tab completion too. What would life be without them? One damn point-and-click after another :)
