Playing around with PeppermintOS on a "new " old laptop, and having fun. Its making me realize that tiny things can really work to impress. (Especially when you’re waiting on a ram upgrade, haha!)

Could be terminal based or GUI, I’m just curious—what tiny apps do you use that you think are neat? Things that don’t take up much storage or memory.

    jq for parsing/formatting/manipulating JSON, and its yq wrapper for YAML. Holy shit you can do powerful queries with them.

      Or the even faster successor gojq.

        Not sure how big the JSON files are you’re messing with, but I’ve never had any noticeable delay using jq.
