Ask HN: Doomsday Terminal – your thoughts
1 point by vasso123 on July 29, 2018 | hide | past | favorite
Hi guys,

just wanted to present my open source project: https://github.com/vasso123/DoomsdayTerminal

The name is just random, so don't ask why :)

On my daily job, I had many situations where I needed such a tool, but couldn't find one (for Linux). I've found a nice utility app for Windows, but for example when connected to a Linux server through ssh, and you want quickly to test some tcp communication with some other server or device, you're stuck with telnet and netcat basically, which just don't offer more advanced options.

So when I saw the Lanterna Java library I knew that was the right tool for the job :) For all Java haters out there, the plan is to package the application as a "native" one, using the new Java 9 jlink tool, so that you don't have to depend on the JRE installed on the machine.

I would like to get some feedback on the project, do you see it useful, and which additional features would you like to see in it?
