    I’ve used Jolt for the same genre of thing: https://github.com/bazaarvoice/jolt

    Might be a bit more heavyweight: I probably wouldn’t use it for one-off command lines. But it’s worth looking into.

      Nice, can’t wait for the iOS version :)

      By the way, the name sounds a lot like “pinche”, a moderate-severity expletive in Mexican Spanish. Not sure if that’s serious enough to merit changing the name.

      Other than that, pretty exciting!

        Thanks! The name actually came from the lobster in The Simpsons

          True story.

          I graduated High School early and decided to travel Mexico at 17. My poor gringo ears heard the word “pinche” and thought that Mexicans really must like to “pinch” people.

          I also got slapped for using the word “excitado” to ask a girl if she was excited about the football match. Unbeknownst to me, and what my english-spanish dictionary failed to mention, was that “excitado” is slang for horny. My friend later told me that with my poor broken spanish, I basically asked her if Football got her wet.

          Ah, what a young, naive, pup I was.
