This is a fun little project I’ve been working on recently: github.com/JonathanWThom/opener

I like to start and end the day with a clean slate on my desktop, and found myself opening and closing the same set of apps everyday. To speed this up, I wrote a command line utility in Go that will open and close all the apps in a configuration file with a single command. It's configurable from a JSON file or an interactive session, and also supports different groups - like if you have a group of apps you want to open/close quickly on weekends.

It's a silly little thing, but I think it could be useful to others. I would love to have some well meaning contributors for the project who are interested in Go and/or CLI utilities.
