Fx – Terminal JSON Viewer
This fx rewrite is very exciting. I'll have to try it. I thought of fx as a wrapper around jq, that allowed quick iteration over building jq scripts. Sort of an Ultimate Plumber [1] but only for jq. It looks like it is now more like a JavaScript processor plus an interactive viewer.
Someone mention Visidata[2]? VisiData is also a TUI that is great on tabular data, and it can work with json. If your JSON is mostly tabular in nature, Visidata does a great job at showing that data and allowing you to explore it. A lot of json I deal with is tabular-like data. There is a great tutorial [3], that can help you get your bearings with Visidata. Once you understand those basics you might want to look at this thread [4] for what commands you can use with json.

`jqp`, a TUI playground for `jq`
Been using up for years but this looks nice too

An interactive wrapper around `jq`
Fun. But I can achieve the same result (I think) with ultimate plumber and regular jq, but without being restricted just to jq. Feel free to correct me.

What are some useful cli tools that arent popular?

Is there any command-line application that you wish existed but doesn't (or isn't as good as you wished)?

Ask HN: Can I see your cheatsheet?
Set a huuuuuuuge shell history https://github.com/craigjperry2/dotfiles/blob/aa77ddcbde63bf... then fzf ctrl+r bindings mean you can recall anything right where you need it.
If you’re going to do this then have an escape hatch for commands you don’t want memorised https://github.com/craigjperry2/dotfiles/blob/aa77ddcbde63bf...

Command Line Tools for Productive Programmers
The integration is pretty decent in vim, i have it configured to open a window overlay on n (requires neovim) https://github.com/craigjperry2/dotfiles/blob/main/dotfiles/...
That said, i don't find myself using that as much. Usually i'm in the shell when i invoke nnn - i might open a file in vim from nnn though.
In vim, i typically lean on fzf.vim more often - usually i know something about the next file i want to open so it just feels more direct.
What are some alternatives?
nvim-jqx - Populate the quickfix with json entries
watchexec - Executes commands in response to file modifications
zsh-history-substring-search - 🐠 ZSH port of Fish history search (up arrow)
dive - A tool for exploring each layer in a docker image
nnn - n³ The unorthodox terminal file manager
fzf-tab - Replace zsh's default completion selection menu with fzf!
murex - A smarter shell and scripting environment with advanced features designed for usability, safety and productivity (eg smarter DevOps tooling)
fx - Terminal JSON viewer & processor
hurl - Hurl, run and test HTTP requests with plain text.
