Seashells. This is a really useful tool for monitoring the status of a long-running CLI script on another device. You can run any command and pipe its output to “nc seashells.io 1337”—which will then return the URL to a temporary web page which you can view on another device (including a mobile phone) to see the constantly updating output of that command.
