oskob··on Clud – super light-weight tool to turn natural language to terminal commands
thank you! yeah i wanted to make something minimal and portable without package managers and build systems, just pure bash
oskob··on Clud – super light-weight tool to turn natural language to terminal commands
Like the thing in Warp, but, you know, without Warp.

Useful for quick command lookups, like trying to remember those ffmpeg arguments, for example. Just go:

> clud convert file movie.mov to h264 optimized for web and write to out.mp4

And it responds with:

Suggested command: ffmpeg -i movie.mov -c:v libx264 -preset medium -crf 23 -c:a aac -b:a 128k out.mp4

Run it? [y/N]

Written mostly in bash script but some dependencies on curl and python3. Might try to remove python3 dependency at some point. Just used for JSON parsing/serializing.

You need an API key for Gemini, OpenAI or Claude.

Feature requests are welcome!

oskob··on How to control your smart home without yelling at a dumb voice assistant
One product is missing from this list: Flic (super small Bluetooth button)

I have them scattered all around my house and I never use voice or even apps anymore to control my smart home.

oskob··on Netflix Switch – dim lights, turn on the TV, order food, and silence your phone
For the time being, you need a smartphone. But we are currently looking into other areas to expand the use of our product.

This can already be achieved with Flic: http://flic.io Flic is a Bluetooth button which uses your smartphone to communicate with smart electronics. If you have Philips Hue or LIFX smart lights and a Logitech Harmony Hub (for IR), this would work straight out of the box! (Disclaimer: I am associated with Flic)
