Ask HN: Ideas for curl.sh website

4 pointskvarga4 comments

Hello everyone - I am looking for ideas for an opensource project to do with a newly acquired domain ( curl.sh ).

I was thinking of a warning site like fixubuntu.com, but feel like I could develop something more useful.

Thanks, Kyle

A reputable host for all those "curl <url> | sh" commands you see these days? Basically, verified to not do something like rm -rf /.

How would he establish reputability? I trust rvm.io or brew.sh or whatever else as much (or even more) than I'd trust curl.sh, but there's always the risk that the site has been compromised by a third party, or there's a MITM attack.

An interactive javascript shell for demonstrating useful curl commands and allowing users to test their own commands?

Similar to hurl.it - seems like if you do something around executing shell scripts via curl... Would be interesting
