    Next Generation Shell (NGS)

    Oh interesting... author of that article developed https://ngs-lang.org/.

  • xplr

    A hackable, minimal, fast TUI file explorer

    Certain file managers like xplr allow for more advanced terminal UX. Check out the video on https://xplr.dev/ and you can see something like a live/interactive ls that allows toggling arguments (instead of running multiple commands and pushing previous stdout further into the past).

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • nushell

    A new type of shell

    But that and xplr are both programs used within the shell and don't address that the shell is still outputting plain-dumb-dataless-text. https://www.nushell.sh/ promotes right on the homepage Everything is data so it's exciting to see and hope for a better future!

  • PsySH

    A REPL for PHP

    Why choose when you can have both in one https://psysh.org/ lol... I testdrove it once, but not convinced (I think the "merged" 2-languages-in-1 is pretty funny but maybe it works for some people).

  • plan9port

    Plan 9 from User Space

    Folks here might be interested in the Plan 9 user interface and how its terminal and shell interacted. The rio terminal window is lacking control codes, but then allows the user to select back history and edit it for resubmission to the shell. A port of it is available under X via the Plan 9 from User Space port project (https://9fans.github.io/plan9port/).

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
