I'm aware of it; I'd love to see that functionality integrated into DDG.

Actually one of their guys approached me last time explainshell appeared on HN. I think he suggested I implement it as some sort of shortcut, but I haven't had time to look into it.

I have a branch somewhere that exposes the results as JSON, which should make it easy to integrate if they were interested.

I wonder if the developer of explainshell is reading. It looks like development has stalled. It's a really nice idea and could serve as a powerful backend for DDG.

I am reading this!

Admittedly I haven't had a lot of time recently to improve explainshell. But I haven't deserted it; it's just a matter of finding a block of free days to focus on it.

(and as always, patches are welcome ;)

What a great resource! I did not know about this before today!
