Good morning HN! This tool lets you play with awk, grep, sed, and jq commands right in your browser. Start from the examples and explore from there!

To get these tools running in the browser, I compiled them to WebAssembly (see https://github.com/biowasm/biowasm for details). That way, the commands you type run instantaneously, and it doesn't cost me an arm and a leg to host servers that execute arbitrary commands from users :)

Hmm.. A little too interesting for my taste. I was hoping all the other Show HNs today would be lame so mine would get more attention. (kidding! sorta!) :D

Seriously, well done!

Thanks!

The problem is that your playgrounds, and https://www.podsnacks.org/, and the restaurant notifier https://try-something-new.web.app/ got submitted today and I find them all really appealing.
