Hello, my name is Vivek, and I am the maker of CommandHunt.
Problem Statement:
Someone who works on unix/linux system and uses different commands to perform different tasks struggles with below problems.
Find a specific command which will help to perform a task.
Understanding the different options provided with the command.
Maintaining the commands for future use.
Quickly copying the command.
Sharing a command within team.
When I was facing these problems I thought of creating an application which will provide a nice graphical interface to help me find and explore a command with all its supported syntax, options and flags.
Solution:
I started working on MVP - commandhunt.com project, which is a web application with nice gui. As the idea evolved, I started implementing more features like - Building a command, storing it for future use, publishing a it.. etc.
Below is the list of features offered with the product - commandhunt.com
- Login with social-networks (OAuth providers) such as Google, Facebook and GitHub.
- Easily find a specific command using search input.
- Filtering, sorting and pagination supported.
- Build the command with required values and save it privately to your account.
- Access all the saved commands for future use, filter them based on a keyword.
- Publish a command to share it with others using a public link.
- Copy the command to clipboard with just one click.
- Print the command.
- Responsive user interface.
- Any application link can be bookmarked in the browser.
This application is free for all and can be useful to a large group of users. Be it a DevOps guy, IT support engineer, Administrator, Developer, Student or anyone who deals with commands, can benefit form this application.
While most of the basic commands are added, I will be updating the product on regular basis to include additional commands, add new features and fix any bugs.
Report
My son uses Linux and windows. Sharing this app with him.
Good idea!
Here is what came to my mind when I first read the short description of your app.
I thought I could see a list of already built commands that serve a specific purpose without the need to sign up. Commands that could show how to solve problems like "How do I replace an entire line in a text file using 'sed'?
Maybe you could make it possible to add such entries so anyone can see. And if one could search google (i.e. "replace line sed") and land on a published command on your site, it would attract a lot of visitors.
So to publish a command, the user should also fill up a section starting with "How to: ...."
On your home page you could then have a listing of already published Howtos, as well as a list of available command builders.
Note that I haven't signed up to your site yet. These are just ideas on top of my head. But as a visitor, this is what I expected to see.
Wishing you all the best with the project.
@laurent_esingle Thanks a lot for taking time to give the feedback. Yes the same thought came to my mind earlier and with your comment I got an inspiration to implement this. Version 2.0 is coming soon with this feature
