Re:Launch HN: Fig (YC S20) – Autocomplete for the Terminal by tharkun__ on Tuesday May 25, 2021 @09:34PM (#27285089)
I saw the first few commands of the video on their site and I'm like "wait Wtf a visual representation of what hitting tab-tab does already? That can't be it"

But yes that's basically it. You have _all_ of this already and all it needs is for whatever tool you have to provide the "completion" definition file. The graphical nature of this makes it _less_ useful (as others have pointed out w/ regards to no Linux support). How this would sell to enterprise I do not get.

Kudos to them for getting funding for this tho. I wish I had the guts to take something that already exists better and free and ask for someone to pay me money to try and sell it to other people instead.
