I was thinking for a while about making the Linux experience a bit more appealing, so I experimented with the idea of attaching bash commands to a UI. I built a small prototype that turns parameterized command strings into forms. You write a command with placeholders like {param}, the tool generates a form to fill them in, and you can then copy the final command and run it in your shell.

This is only a proof of concept; everything is stored locally. I plan to add essential features to make it fully usable, depending on feedback.

Under the hood, it uses a small application engine I built on top of Svelte.

Feedback is appreciated.
