I love "X by Example" sites! But if you don't work with a tool like ffmpeg imagemagick day in and out, there's no way you'll remember their unintuitive syntax or will want to spend the time to get your one-time job done. I'd still probably not use this site to scan a dozen of examples and try to put together the pieces of the puzzle; instead, I'd probably just use an LLM who already scanned the entire web corpus and can probably get me to a solution faster, right? At that point, I wonder what folks get out of this site?

Its for when people google how do I do X. Also, I've built this site before chatgpt was a thing...
