The terminal is a very cool place, you can perform a bunch of actions in one command, but of course it is also fashionable to download utilities in the terminal, and some of them are very strange and some are very useful and interesting.

What are interesting do you know any terminal utilities?

Since you asked on Hacker News, I will plug my "unl" command-line utility which finds active discussions:

This is not the only CLI HN client, nor is it the best, here are a few others I've seen:

Your utility sounds like something incredible, it's strange that I've never thought about such things.
