Roman Shelekhov
Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Roman, creator of lazymake. I built this because I was tired of the same workflow every developer knows too well: - Open Makefile - Scroll through 500 lines - Squint at cryptic tab characters - Wonder what $(LDFLAGS) actually expands to - Run the wrong target - Break something - Apologize in Slack Make is everywhere (19% of top GitHub repos use it), but its UX hasn't changed since 1976. We have beautiful TUIs for Git (lazygit) and Docker (lazydocker), so why not Make? What makes lazymake special: - 🎯 Zero configuration - Works with any existing Makefile. No changes needed. - 🔒 Read-only - Never modifies your Makefile. All state stored separately. - 🎨 Beautiful UI - Dependency graphs, syntax highlighting, variable inspection—all in your terminal. - 🛡️ Safety first - Detects dangerous commands (rm -rf, database drops, terraform destroy) and requires confirmation. - ⚡ Performance tracking - Automatically spots when builds get slower. Quick example: brew install rshelekhov/tap/lazymake cd your-project lazymake That's it! Press 'g' to see dependency graphs, v to inspect variables, w to switch between projects, and / to search. I'd love your feedback on: - What features would make this more useful for your workflow? - What other build tools need better UX? (thinking about CMake, Gradle, etc.) - Any bugs or rough edges you encounter The project is fully open source (MIT license) and built with Go, Bubble Tea, and Lipgloss. Check out the repo for full docs and installation options. Thanks for hunting! 🚀 GitHub: https://github.com/rshelekhov/la...
