During the last three days I had the opportunity to ‘discover’ some utilities I didn’t know before and with this post I want to write down their names and some notes.
These are the following:
- gron [=grep JSON]
of course there is jq [command-line JSON processor], but this one is much easier for simple searching and/or cleaning/organizing JSON files. It works in the opposite direction too. - recoll
indexes and provides a full text search form for various document types: txt, html, *Office, pdf, rtf, maildir, mailbox, etc. - pqiv
small and fast image viewer with features - ngrok
creates tunnels for specified ports to localhost to test from outside network - bpython
fancy interface to the Python 2/3 interpreter [not tested yet]
Some utilities I’ve found lately
