Funny, I've been working on a tool that is exactly that. Sounds like it might be worth uploading to Github?

Hi HN, it's humbling to be here alongside so many great tools!I made this project in my spare time and wondering if you see any value in something like this (if at all!). Feedback welcome!

Hi! I'm looking for feedback and ideas before making this production-ready.You can see an early ancestor of this project on this post https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21536789 from two years ago (which had great feedback!).If you want to try it, beware that current docs are minimal. If you have questions or feedback GitHub Discussions is the best place to post them. Thanks!

Something I made and open sourced 10 days ago. Quite similar to this, except, very few on HN bothered to take a look.https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5469218

Hey HN,I've been working on this for a while now (over a year, intermittently) and thought it would be fun to share. Hope some of you find this interesting / useful.Cheers.

thanks for sharing! I'm currently working on something similar so it's nice to learn about the open source projects you used to build it on your about page. Very cool project!

Young padawan, I'm inviting you to look into my github sideprojects (same name). I think that will change your mind ;)
