I’ve been working on https://terminalwire.com to scratch my own itch making it easier to add command-line interfaces into my own web apps.
If I pull this off, building out a CLI that’s as high quality as GitHub & Stripe’s should be trivial since it won’t require building out a web API and it can be dropped into existing web frameworks.
It won’t be as fast as a CLI that runs locally, but that’s kinda not the point of terminal apps that primarily interact with web services.
I have a private beta for folks working on commercial SaaS products that want to deploy a CLI, but don’t want to deal with building out an API.
