Show HN: The easiest way to run shell commands in plain English (no app needed)

Thu, 02/26/2026 - 5:24pm

Sometimes I want to run a shell command but don't remember the exact syntax. There are apps that aim to resolve that, as well as AI integrations into shells (like iTerm).

I thought there have to be an easier way to achieve this. And it turns out, there is (at least on zsh / macOS). It's just a one-liner prompt and an alias command to add to your .zshrc. After that, '@ run ffmpeg to convert my.mov to mp4' will be converted to the actual command, ready to press Enter.

An interesting side effect is that your '@ whatever' commands become a part of the shell history, so you can rerun them again as regular shell commands.

The entire repo above is simply a README. Just point Claude Code to it and it will install it for you.

Show HN: ClickNest a tiny self-hosted, AI native web analytics in Go

Thu, 02/26/2026 - 5:15pm

I've been building a bunch of random side projects, as I'm sure we all are. Most analytics tools were either too heavy or required juggling multiple free tiers across different subdomains.

After looking what's out there I couldn't find a lightweight analytics platform that worked on the free tier of fly.io.

It's a single Go binary using DuckDB for events and SQLite for metadata, so there are no external dependencies to manage. Drop a script tag on your site and it auto-captures pageviews and clicks.

The part I'm most excited about: it uses an LLM to automatically name raw click events into something human-readable. Instead of seeing button.btn-primary#checkout in your dashboard, you see "Clicked checkout button". No manual event instrumentation needed.

One fly launch and you have your own analytics instance for free.

Show HN: A drag and drop GUI builder for CustomTkinter

Thu, 02/26/2026 - 5:12pm

Hi everyone,

I’ve been building a visual GUI builder for CustomTkinter over the past few weeks. The idea was to experiment with a low-code interface for generating real Python GUI applications while still allowing full code access.

Some technical highlights:

Drag & drop widget system

Multi-page project structure

Visual IF/ELSE logic system

JSON-based project state management

Built-in code editor with syntax highlighting

Export system (including standalone executable builds)

One of the more interesting challenges was designing the logic system so that UI actions could be translated into structured JSON and then converted back into executable Python code.

I’m mainly looking for technical feedback:

Does this approach make sense architecturally?

What would you improve in a GUI builder like this?

Is there something fundamentally missing?

Appreciate any thoughts.
