cozyCLI – practice linux commands in the browser

#showdev #webdev #cli #linux

hey devs 👋

the last weeks I have been building cozyCLI.com, a small sideproject to practice linux commands interactively.

I always wanted a place where I can just type and get instant feedback without spinning up a VM or remembering random tasks. so I built one.

what is in there (v0.2)

150 curated linux core tasks -> the important stuff you actually use on any distro
interactive trainer -> type the command, get feedback right away
summary with stats -> accuracy, streaks, hints, attempts, success rate
cheatsheet -> quick lookup with categories + live filter search

I rewrote the old catalog (was only 50 tasks, kind of random). now it is focused and way more useful.

try it out

trainer -> cozycli.com
cheatsheet -> cozycli.com/cheatsheet
changelog -> cozycli.com/changelog

what comes next

I want to add different training modes. For example 10 or 25 question mode. After finishing you get a summary and stats. then you can repeat the same set to compare or reshuffle for fresh tasks

final words

I am building this as a cozy project for myself but maybe it is useful for others learning or refreshing linux commands.

If you try it out let me know what you think. Ideas for new tasks are always welcome ✌️

I also wrote a bit more about this update on my personal blog -> codephilip.com/cozycli-v02

and made a small devlog on my youtube channel

I am self-taught on Linux, and this is really cool! I do wish it were a bit more beginner-friendly - Everyone is at a different level with their Linux journey. I wish I had known about this when I started! Great tool.
