Show HN: LLM-Term – Simple Rust-based CLI assist tool

#1

Post by dh1011 »

Current AI-assisted CLI tools are often part of larger systems and work better on Linux. I built llm-term to address these. It's a Rust-based tool that compiles into a single binary file. You only need to download the binary, add it to your PATH, and configure your OpenAI key to get started. While llm-term offers an option for gpt-4o, it works great with gpt-4o-mini. So it's not costly. I appreciate any feedback or suggestions.

How is this different to all the others? Please don't just say "written in rust, lol". There's definitely a time and place for that, but a little script that makes interacts with the shell and makes a couple of API calls isn't it.

It baffles me why people would be so unnecessarily critical on someone's project they are showing off in a show-and-tell fashion. It's a neat project with value.

I think people in general are much too concerned with "what makes this different". It's cool, fun and rewarding to build things.

That's fine for whoever made it, but it's not so interesting for me, or anyone else on the hn.

I'm a little annoyed by this. I'm sure your reading comprehension is sufficient to know I wasn't objecting to fun or making things. I wasn't even implying there was nothing new or interesting about the project, I just wanted to know what that new or interesting thing might be.

Where's the criticism?
