Zq: An Easier (and Faster) Alternative to Jq
It took me a while to grok jq, but now that I do I kinda like it? I don't think I want to learn yet another thing.
I do like tools that complement/supplement jq though, like jid: https://github.com/simeji/jid

How to navigate an API from the terminal
If you're trying to work out the structure and content of an API's JSON responses, you can keep paging through the documentation and the paged output of less or you can reach for more precise JSON parsing tools such as, jq and jid.

Help using JQ interactively?
Yeah, I love me some jq, and my first reaction to the JSON tools page was 'What do these bring to the table that jq doesn't?". Gron and Jid changed my mind.

Ink: React for Interactive CLI Apps
Any viewer of data that has 50,000 elements in it has this many items with a scroll wheel. It doesn't matter if it's on the screen at the same time, this is the kind of thing that the UI is supposed to be abstracting away from you; you just describe the UI and the renderer makes it appear on the screen. Example apps (not built with Ink, just some that fit into this category): less, https://fx.wtf, sqlite...
And this is why React apps end up with bad performance by default. Doesn't crop up in simple tests and light usage, but the bad scaling will catch up with you when you deploy to production.

Command Line Tools I Like (2022)
Coincidentally, yesterday I decided I needed a JSON TUI and landed on fx (https://github.com/antonmedv/fx), which seems to have come out of the Wave terminal project and looks quite similar to jless. Also uses vim keybindings.

Modern Unix Tool List
Seems like a pretty good collection of a lot of the tools I hear about these days, and also use myself sometimes.
I also like `fx`, which is like a combination of `jq` and `gdu`.
https://fx.wtf/
Oh, and also `gdu`, which is like `ndu` but faster:

Show HN: Posting v1 – The modern HTTP client that lives in your terminal
This is great, I could see myself using it daily. The only hindrance I've found so far is navigating large responses. Would be cool to have some way to collapse chunks of JSON (a la https://github.com/antonmedv/fx), or even just more vim key navigation, like G/gg, %, {/}, and search.
- Fx 35.0.0
- Bash/Zsh autocomplete for JSON fields
- Fx 32.0, now with YAML support too
- Fx JSON viewer now supports YAML
