Glad I fought the reflex to jump straight into the comments with "So how is this different than jq" and instead actually clicked through to see the wonderful homepage that instantly answered my question via animated GIF. I'm a sucker for trying out any new CLI tool and this looks genuinely and immediately useful. Thanks!

Excellent! The expected future value of the comment thread thanks you for that sterling effort. It was a pretty wonderful homepage right? I don't have any need for it now whatsoever, but this project looks like a useful debugging tool if you need to reverse engineer undocumented APIs. And the author's write up is comprehensive informative and well written. And their site looks good so this is an awesome Show HN I thi…

That's one of the most informative and compact pages about a tool that I've ever seen. Compliments to whoever made it!

They could have sent the link to friends, some of which did not have an account yet but wanted to comment?

Quoted post unavailable.

The same guidelines also explicitly say not to post accusations like yours. If you suspect abuse, email the mods.

Its "Show HN..."

And here it's directly mentioned in the guidelines of how 'Show HN' should work: https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html > Please don't ask friends to upvote or comment. That's not ok on HN. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html#ring > Can I ask people to upvote my submission? > No. Users should vote for a story because they personally find it intellectually interesting, not because someone has content to promot…

You've basically turned an entire sub-thread on a Show HN into a low-quality distraction based on your un-provable (to you) accusation, and subsequent doubling down...all of which, as multiple people have tried to remind you, is breaking the rules:

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html#:~:text=Ple....

Also, you can't cite the rules as some fake justification for your flouting the rules. Abusing the rules to pretend that, because the thing you, without proof, accuse someone of is disallowed, it somehow makes it OK for you to break the rules to post these disallowed accusations...is wrong. You're undermining the very thing you're merely pretending to support here. Which makes it seem like you never cared much for the rules in the first place, but only for some weird personal vendetta or whatever against this post. Whatever your reason, none of this is OK, on HN. Or anywhere really.

Please stop.

Humble request: musl version

Keeping a glibc chroot directory takes up a fair bit of space, leaving less space available for other stuff.

Whenever I try compiling Rust programs it exhausts the available space I have.

Hence I am resorting to begging, starting now (because this program sounds potentially very useful.) Please folks, if possible, include musl versions in addition to glibc. :)

This looks great. So far the only tools I have are: function jql() { jq -C "$@" | less -R ; } and an abuse of the preview feature in fzf room let you interactively write a jq query.

Consider adding "gron" to your toolset, for easy json processing in the command line. It is cruder than jq, but it has a nice aura of simplicity that jq lacks.

gron is wonderful for

    gron | rg  | gron -u
which gives you a structurally accurate subset of a json document.

Can you pipe output from another command to jless and have it detect when it finds a JSON document? I often tail the logs of my servers and then need to inspect the JSON data from say an API call. I usually do that by copying the entirety of the log into a bug report and then extracting the relevant pieces out and then using jq and it's a big hassle. Could I use jless to make this easier?

Really nice looking tool and awesome home page. It's so nice when a tool immediately shows you exactly what makes it special (instead of giving you dozens of installation notes, etc...)

It's 2022 and you're running out of disk space?
