alt Hacker NewsMinor nitpick: This isn't what I expected when I read "CLI". I envisioned a terminal-native experience. Unless I skimmed over this way too fast, this is a browser experience that you trigger from the terminal.
EDIT: I should mention that I think the idea is cool. We're in a new age where reviewing large amounts of unfamiliar code has become a larger problem than it was previously.

yep sorry about that, we weren't exactly sure what the best framing was
glad you like the idea though! let us know what you think
I mean it’s quite literally a command line interface to their tool… what else should it be called that differentiates it from a pure browser flow?
What you are describing sounds more like “TUI” than “CLI” imo. A CLI is an interface—it’s about the input step. It makes no promise about what happens after that.
If you do want a native CLI in-terminal for this, try out github.com/agavra/tuicr
