@itsfoss Kew is absolutely the best thing I have discovered in a long time. I completely stopped using my Navidrome server at home because of it. #cli #terminal #music_player #Navidrome

If you want to improve your Command-Line/bash skills, "Efficient Linux at the Command Line" by @DanielJBarrett is a life changing read.
Really.
A mindblowing experience.

Offpunk Tutorial
offpunk.netI've just released v1.0.0 of ng2web, a command line tool that converts a #NortonGuide file into a collection of static web pages. Useful if you want to revive information locked up in Norton Guide files.
3 years ago, as I just had created Offpunk, I started to implement what would become ansicat : a way to render HTML (or any format) in your terminal
Besides a lot of technical learning, the biggest lesson was probably how bad people are at writing texts and abusing any format.

ploum.net@nojhan Hey, thanks for your comment and for trying out Numtap! I totally get why you'd compare it to Python REPL—it's a solid tool for calculations. Your feedback actually inspired me to release v1.1.0 with several improvements, so thank you for that!
Here’s how Numtap now stands out for terminal workflows:
Instant Launch & Lightweight: Numtap is super lightweight (just 52.7 kB) and launches instantly—no waiting for a full Python environment to load or importing modules like math. Perfect for quick math during scripting or analysis!
Built-in REPL Features for Terminal Workflows: Numtap comes with commands like history (shows all calculations with timestamps), last (recalls the last result), and clear (clears the screen)—all tailored for a seamless CLI experience. In Python, you’d need extra setup to get similar functionality.
Scientific Functions, No Imports Needed: Functions like sin(), cos(), log(), and unit conversions (e.g., 90 deg to rad) are ready to use right away. In Python, you’d need to import math and convert units manually (e.g., math.sin(math.radians(45))), which slows you down.
Colorful & Clear Output: Using chalk, Numtap provides color-coded feedback (e.g., green results, red errors), making it easier to read during long sessions. Python REPL’s plain text can feel less user-friendly in comparison.
Smooth Error Handling: Numtap handles errors without crashing the session, with clear messages like "Undefined symbol" or "Unexpected operator". Python’s error tracebacks can be overwhelming for quick math tasks.
Specialized for Terminal Math: Numtap is built specifically for terminal calculations, with two modes: Quick Mode (e.g., numtap "2 + 3") for one-off expressions, and Interactive Mode for chained calculations. Python REPL is more general-purpose, so it’s less focused for this use case.
Numtap is designed to be a go-to tool for terminal users—like in infosec workflows—where speed, simplicity, and a polished CLI experience matter. It works on Linux, macOS, and Windows (via WSL) with just Node.js installed. For more details, check out the links below!

Hey infosec folks
I’m excited to share my project "Numtap", a CLI calculator that brings quick and reliable math to your terminal—perfect for those moments when you need fast calculations during analysis or scripting!
Why Numtap?
- An open-source CLI calculator for basic operations (like 2 + 3) and advanced functions (like sin, sqrt)
- Works in two modes: Interactive (for ongoing calculations) or Quick
(for one-off expressions)
- Built with JavaScript using `mathjs` for precision and `chalk` for a colorful interface
- Keeps a history of your calculations
Get Started
Install Numtap with the command below:
$ npm install -g numtap
Check out the screenshots below to see it in action! For more details, visit the links below.
