Here's what I've been working on—it's called Terminalwire.
It's a new way to build command-line interfaces for web apps that doesn't require an API, which dramatically reduces the complexity of shipping a CLI.

I went through YC in S08, known unofficially as “the worst YC class”. It’s when the “RIP good times” Sequoia deck went out.👇
What did we do with our company? We started to raise a small round, but half way through sent everybody their checks back because the amount of revenue we brought in from our customers that year was roughly equal. I called this Customer Capital funding.
