Show HN: Hucksh – A Shell with a Very Good Memory

Personally I thought it was cool that you replaced the shell AND the terminal. I honestly feel like we need a re-imagining of computer interfaces. CLIs are cool but the current state of the art is lacking. So kudos on what you're doing.

I don't think I will become a user because I'm a radical free software purist but I like what you're doing and I think it's the kind of outside the box thinking that's needed if the shell is to ever move far beyond "1980s state of the art".

Another interesting take on entirely rethinking the shell: https://arcan-fe.com/about/

Thanks! Yeah, improving the state of the art beyond TTYs is a core idea of hucksh.

> ... radical free software purist ...

Yeah, I get that. Someone on Reddit mentioned the same thing. No worries. I'm definitely a fan of free software too (Vim user since, like, 1995, to name one), just not a purist.

I'll take a look at Arcan.

Cheers & thanks again!
