The TS/JS analogy is perfect. This is exactly the approach we took with Fig. We defined a declarative standard that lets you describe the structure of any CLI tool. Fig then uses these to provide VSCode-style autocomplete in the termin

We were inspired by this idea while building early prototypes of Fig ( https://withfig.com ) and wanted to bring rich interactivity/discoverability to existing terminals. The goal is to layer on a CLUI style interface to all

I started using Superpowered yesterday and it is great! (I'm so tired of waiting for Google Calendar to load!) One feature request: it seems like it's not possible to create new calendar events using the app. I assume this is on t

This is exactly what I’ve been working on with Fig. Intellisense exists in every modern IDE but not the shell. https://github.com/withfig/autocomplete

This is something I’ve been working on! Autocomplete popovers / CLUIs seem like a really natural way to enhance discoverability in the terminal. https://github.com/withfig/completion-specs

Very cool! Congrats on the launch (site is super clean!).

This is a great question. We spent a lot of time making sure the Fig can be driven from the keyboard. You can launch apps, search your shortcuts and toggle focus between the terminal and Fig all without touching the mouse. Our global hot ke

This is really interesting! I think that the scalable approach like you proposed in your thesis makes a lot of sense, but comes at some cost to the user experience. Rather than being 'smart' and automating everything, we want to m

Yeah, these are both great ideas. I was inspired to use web technologies for building the UI by this discussion ( https://lobste.rs/s/vrb7qh/web_as_gui_toolkit ). Ultimately, I want to port Fig to Linux and Windows

Honestly this is really useful feedback. I think the page might be broken on mobile. There should be a large video demonstrating the product at the top.( https://withfig.com/video/final.mp4 ) You're exactly the type

When you know the commands by memory, the terminal is hands-down the fastest way of interfacing with a computer. The trouble is when you're using a new command or toolchain and don't know the commands by heart. For instance, code

The value for me has been the ability to easily bounce back and forth between levels of abstraction. Sometimes you need the granularity the shell provides, but other times it's nice to lean back on a more opinionated workflow. Sort of

Thanks for posting this. I've been meaning to compress the mp4, but hadn't gotten around to it just yet.

Completely agree about Electron - it's really heavy. That's why we built Fig as a Swift app. Also, just to clarify, Fig isn't a terminal emulator itself. It attaches to whichever one you currently use.

You're totally right. We're deleting it from our site now. Change should be pushed in a few minutes.

Hey HN! I'm Matt Schrage, one of the cofounders of Fig. We were planning on launching on HN later on, so this caught us a bit off guard. (As someone noted, our 'Fig' icon is, in fact, an emoji pear). Still we're super ex

I built this primarily because I was bored in a Zoom lecture and wanted to chat with other people in the class. There were a couple of small group chats that started spontaneously but I thought it would be more fun if the entire class could
