• I wrote JOSN, a command-line JSON browser

  Neat! You mentioned not getting the hang of jq, have you played with fx? Source: about 1 year ago

• Show HN: Llama – Terminal File Manager

  This looks like something I'd use often. Thanks for creating it! For anyone who's not familiar, Anton is also behind the highly useful fx[0] for wrangling JSON data in the terminal. [0] https://github.com/antonmedv/fx. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• I'm developing a new command line tool for querying and transforming JSON files , called ~Q (pronounced "unquery"). My design goal is to create a tool that is powerful yet easy to use (aim to be more intuitive for users than existing tools such as jq). Let me know your thoughts and suggestions.

  I've been so fed up with jq's annoying syntax that I began thinking about developing something that can perform json operations in familiar syntax such as javascript but I ran into fx (https://github.com/antonmedv/fx) and it's been pretty great actually. Source: over 1 year ago

• Fx 24.0.0

  Hi I’m the author of https://github.com/antonmedv/fx (terminal JSON viewer) Recently I decided to rewrite entire program to Go. And usually on second rewrite things end-up better. Main reason for this, I believe is clear end result, the target. I think new ersion of fx is much more superior:) I recommend you, to check it out ;) Would like to have some feedback and ideas for improvement. One of new cool features... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Zq: An Easier (and Faster) Alternative to Jq

  I really like fx (https://github.com/antonmedv/fx) for interactive stuff. It does exactly what I think you want. You can expand individual fields and explore the schema. However, I really do like jq for queries and scripting, so I keep both around. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• OpenBSD Desktop

  Take a look at double commander: https://doublecmd.sourceforge.io/ However, if you use a desktop manager such as Xfce, the file manager (Thunar in this case) is built in and can be configured with traditional double window arrangement. - Source: Hacker News / 4 days ago

• The case of the jump into the middle of an instruction from nowhere (2023)

  Well yeah, I mean no one forces you to use Explorer for file management under Windows. I'm an old-time Norton Commander user, and when Windows came around I switched to Total Commander. There are open-source alternatives too, even cross-platform ones, like this one: https://doublecmd.sourceforge.io/. That being said, no one forces you to use Windows either - except maybe your employer or the software... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Creating a 'Proper Nouns' List

  Double Commander. Search Replace Multiple files. Source: 5 months ago

• Total Commander

  I've been looking for a Linux alternative ever since I mostly switched away from Windows a few years ago, and so far this one is the best FOSS alternative I found: https://doublecmd.sourceforge.io/ - it's even written in Pascal, same as TC. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Total Commander

  Very useful, I bought it years ago and used it on Windows. I've been using only Linux for about 10 years now, but I'd like to use Total Commander on Linux. Double Commander is open source, cross-platform and written with Lazarus / FPC : https://doublecmd.sourceforge.io/ But ... I am not able not to use Midnight Commander ... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
