jql

2 935 6.6 Rust

A JSON Query Language CLI tool (by yamafaktory)

Project mention: [Media] Tabled [v0.9.0] - An easy to use library for pretty print tables | reddit.com/r/rust | 2022-09-30

this is awesome. I came across jql before, but your implementation looks like it has much more feature parity with jq. Are your API's primarily focused on terminal usage? or is it designed in a way that it would be easy to import & use as a rust crate?

huniq

1 198 2.8 Rust

Filter out duplicates on the command line. Replacement for `sort | uniq` optimized for speed (10x faster) when sorting is not needed.

Project mention: I/O is no longer the bottleneck | news.ycombinator.com | 2022-11-26

`sort | uniq` is really slow for this, as it has to sort the entire input first. I use `huniq` which is way faster for this. I'm sure there are many similar options.

tiger

2 141 10.0 Rust

Tiger is a visual tool to author game spritesheets and their metadata. (by agersant)

Project mention: Announcing Tiger 1.0 — a visual tool to author game spritesheets and their metadata, built with Tauri. | reddit.com/r/rust | 2023-03-10

Mostly because it takes time and effort to support other platforms (QA, distribution, some implementation details). I focused on Windows because that is what I use, and is also the most popular platform for game developers. If you would like to help support other platforms, I wrote a little more info here.

lyon-deck-toolbox

2 53 10.0 Rust

Lyon's Deck Toolbox, an installer for a collection of tools and utilities to enhance the experience with the Steam Deck.

Project mention: I didn’t know that the SteamDeck system takes more than 40GB itself which makes the 64GB useless | reddit.com/r/SteamDeck | 2023-01-07

Do yourself a big favor, get a large microsd (512gb-1tb) and look at https://github.com/LyonSyonII/lyon-deck-toolbox for the btrfs filesystem compression mod. It will help you reduce file sizes.
