Show HN: Shorten your strings using common abbreviations (github.com) 25 points by dnnrly 7y ago ↗ HN
[–] Waterluvian 7y ago ↗ I love little programs that just focus on some one thing. Thank you for sharing it. I'm more interested in reading the code than using it, which I hope is cool.
[–] epoch_100 7y ago ↗ I just submitted a small pull request to fix a few typos in the CLI. Neat tool! [–] dnnrly 7y ago ↗ Thanks - that's much appreciated!
[–] craftyguy 7y ago ↗ Oh the irony in a tool with a name that is pretty long as far as commandline tool names go, that abbreviates strings.
[–] rubatuga 7y ago ↗ Could have just named it "brev" as in brevity [–] oweiler 7y ago ↗ alias brev=abbreviate
[–] tpaschalis 7y ago ↗ I like it! Since you wrote it in Go, it would be nice to also add a flag to export the result in camelCase, for easier variable naming :P [–] dnnrly 7y ago ↗ It should already support that. If it doesn't then please feel free to create an issue or even raise a PR. :)
