That's cool, but I like the Google Command Line interface even more:<p><a href="http://code.google.com/p/googlecl/" rel="nofollow">http://code.google.com/p/googlecl/</a><p>I was blown away the first time I edited Google doc using vim, hit ":wq" (save), and saw my changes reflected instantly in my browser, where I had opened the same document.<p>The Oauth authentication was also pretty cool. Instead of asking for your Google credentials every time / saving them on your machine, the first GoogleCL use opens a browser window, prompts you to log into your Google Account, and asks you to authorize the Google CL client. You may then revoke this permission at any time (like any Oauth token).
Hi, I made this some years ago. In fact it was the reason to sign up as a hacker news user :)<p>I didn't had the time to update it, so some things are broken (login, auto complete). And the open source project never caught traction.
I've made something like this for DuckDuckGo, but haven't released it since I want tab-completion (uses a static list for now). Will release as an official UI once DDG gets search suggestions.<p><a href="http://dhruvbird.com/tty.html" rel="nofollow">http://dhruvbird.com/tty.html</a><p>Edit: There is no GA tracking on this page even though I use to for my site (other pages) - to keep with the general privacy experience of DDG
Wow I've been thinking of writing something very similar lately using nodejs and parsing the html (maybe using lynx --dump). But this is pretty much as good idea and blazing fast!
