actually most of these already exist...
A better cd
enter z
A program that can split one file into many
something like unar is for archives eh? 300mb CSV is nothing tbh... you could import it into RStudio with data.table in less than 1second but if it has ragged rows then you'll need to do some additional research. But splitting CSV by hand is quite straightforward. I'm sure csvkit or https://github.com/BurntSushi/xsv would work well too. You could use head
and >>
(sh redirection append) to build small CSVs from a big CSV without much thought. The first chunk would be head -5000 ./file
yeah I just checked xsv split will auto-chunk
command-line utility that gets the extension of a file
awk -F'.' '{print $NF}'
~/Downloads ยป type fileExtStatistics
function fileExtStatistics
awk -F'.' '{print $NF}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -g
end
๐ฎ fd | fileExtStatistics
1 geojson
1 gif
1 gz
1 twiki
2 json
5 jgw
5 jpeg
5 jpg
22 png
generates a random string that is N characters long
head -1000 /dev/urandom | tr -dc '[:alnum:]' | head -10c
first get 1000 lines from urandom, delete everything which is not ascii+num then keep only 10 char
password hasher, encrypted string
hashing is not encrypting. these are pretty different things. but this tool is cool and useful: https://pypi.org/project/ciphey/
command-line utility to grep through SQL
I would just use rg instead of building a custom tool tbh. instead of " --db=" just search "from ", etc
regression testing CLI diffs images
I've seen this before but forgot the name but I know it exists
bash shell script/program that logs all the files you've written to
cool idea. let me see... so this will actually show you which files you have modified but to track deletions you would need to use git or something:
fd --changed-within 1year
The stat
command can show last accessed (this is also viewable in krusader and maybe other file managers). This is pretty cool. This oneline will show you the etc files which were last modified:
find /etc -type f -printf '%TY-%Tm-%Td %TT %p\n' | sort
this will show you files with last accessed: ls -tu /etc
in exa, date modified, sorted by last accessed: exa -l -saccessed /etc
hmm I wish fd included last-access but I can't find it. Only date modified... this should be easier
soundexed
very cool idea
apache access log file viewer
I feel like there are so many but it is difficult to find one which is just what you are looking for
Merge two videos together
ffmpeg is really, really powerful. the syntax is a little weird at first but you quickly get used to it. for programmatic video editing there is https://github.com/mifi/editly
desktop app which logs the time of each application that you view
there are a ton of these but not many FOSS options. google "activity monitor software" "track employees programs" https://www.rescuetime.com/ is very popular
standardise hotkeys across programs
yeah this is super badly needed. or at least sync settings like shortcuts or locale between computers/phones/OSes instantly. that would be very welcome
displays (and sells) art from people in various institutions
this is a really neat idea. In Hawaii all new construction projects are required to buy at least 1% of construction costs worth of art. Art creation accessability, appreciation, and higher valuation of mediocore/amateur art should be more widespread.
organise their thoughts
some people really like roam research. "digital gardens" is a good search term. I like tiddlywiki. It's a neat technology in that it can export itself but it also works well too.

farmers in 3rd world countries so they don't get scammed by traders
I mean... farmers already have a good idea what price they should expect. scams are just when their buyer doesn't pay, etc.
but you can take a look at how these people help farmers:

would have to be fuzzy because they're probably not great at spelling
lol...
amazon monitoring program
site generator based on markdown
github kinda does this so you could just upload the files to github then copy inner HTML :)
hopefully native browser support for markdown will be realistic soon
Zip / Postal Code Lookup โ Enter a zip or postal code and have it return which city/cities that are in that zip code.
could be done pretty easily with PostGIS
overall there are many good ideas and unique ones. the easy ones are fun too. I am mostly just having fun right now
from what-to-code.
Hey @chapmanjacobd,
Thanks for these solutions!
A lot of these ideas been introduced over time and you can tell. The more trivial ones were added when I was first trying to think of things to code for myself when I was beginning. These days I don't contribute as many ideas but the ones I do are more project based and fleshed out.
I'll leave this "issue" up because it could be beneficial to beginners and people not familiar with command-line tools.
Cheers!
