Trogon (via) The latest project from the Textualize/Rich crew, Trogon provides a Python decorator—@tui—which, when applied to a Click CLI application, adds a new interactive TUI mode which introspects the available subcommands and their options and creates a full Text User Interface—with keyboard and mouse support—for assembling invocations of those various commands.
I just shipped sqlite-utils 3.32 with support for this—it uses an optional dependency, so you’ll need to run “sqlite-utils install trogon” and then “sqlite-utils tui” to try it out. # 21st May 2023, 9:39 pm
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. # 8th May 2023, 5:20 pm
