    I mean, you don't really know that, do you? Maybe Tuesdays tend to be a big day for me, and instead of "down for a day", it's "lose almost a quarter of my income for the month". Cl…

    I don't follow. A "corporation" is just an entity that's filed articles of incorporation with the appropriate government office. You can have a single person that owns a corporatio…

    Yeah, I've worried about this a lot. Perhaps there's someone I could hire to give hucksh a clean bill of health. I wonder how much Bruce Schneier would charge? :) (That's a joke; I…

    I've read your comment a couple of times, and I think (maybe) I finally understand it. I don't think hucksh (or any shell) could provide an automatic way to undo some series of arb…

    Please give the trial version a shot before using it (literally? :) in anger. It's as good and stable as I can make it at the moment, but I'm not going to pretend it's, you know, a…

    It's the former. A license today will work with today's code forever. I am not a fan of subscription software, and as much as I would love a recurring income, I don't want to infli…

    It's really not. But if it were, that seems strangely apropos for something calling itself a shell. mvdan/sh | gio | darktile :)

    Thanks! Yeah, improving the state of the art beyond TTYs is a core idea of hucksh. > ... radical free software purist ... Yeah, I get that. Someone on Reddit mentioned the same thi…

    All of that is fair and I appreciate the comment. Hmm. #1 - I could fork an instance of bash for every command instead of using an internal interpreter. I've shied away from that b…

    Use code HN-1223 at checkout for 90% off ($40 -> $4) a license key through the end of the year. (... Which is a lot closer than it used to be, sigh. Time marches on.)

    Correct, it's not open source. I did mention that it's a commercial product, but of course some commercial products are also OSS. Mine is not. > I would want to see a lot more just…

    Thanks, that's weird. The ones in the post are clickable on my end.

    Thanks, I wasn't aware of resh. (They don't call it "re.sh"?) If I'm reading the resh page correctly, they search the history of the commands you've run, but don't store or allow s…

    Comment #38721670

    Ha, fascinating. (And thanks for trying it out!) So would a tarball on Github put you off, do you think? Would you prefer a raw directory listing from Apache at dl.huck.sh (et al)?…

    Thanks, that's valuable feedback. I do have huckridge.com (a Wordpress site), and some others like huck.sh (which mirrors huckridge.com), but I've been using Notion and Dropbox so …

    Thanks! > You refer to this as a shell, but it seems more like a terminal emulator. Am I missing something? It has elements of both. I think it's closer to a shell because its prim…

    Thanks, that's good to know. I never thought of that as a stumbling block. I trust me! Do you think showing an md5 hash would help, or is it just Dropbox itself? Would (for example…

    Comment #38720927

    Thanks! Yeah, I've looked at warp.dev. Funny story: I heard about them from Daniel Martí, aka mvdan, the author of the shell library I'm using. It looks really neat, though I confe…

    I don't follow. Both the BSD 3-clause license and the MIT license allow commercial use. Granted, I might need to double check that I credit them & reproduce their licenses appropri…

    Show HN: Hucksh – A shell with a very good memory

    In the deep mists of time (circa 2012), I was playing with the Go standard library, and saw how easy it was to stand up a webserver that let you navigate a remote file system, and …
