Super handy when your brain refuses to translate your intentions. Easy to use, very well-designed. One of my most used apps, and I've been using Linux for decades. My only request would be, when you click on the Share button, it also copies the command description as opposed to just the command itself. But I like to hoard info, so maybe that's not important to most people. Maybe I'll fork the GitHub repo and customize it a bit. Great work!

Perfect pocket reference for various Linux machines. If you are a beginner, it is a great tool to help develop your skills and explains commands and use cases in plain language. The developers steadily roll out updates that improve the quality of the app and keep it stable. A special thank you to the developers for helping cultivate our open-source community in a simple and effective manner. Keep up the good work!

Hello dev, it's a nice app which catalogs a wide variety of commands which are pretty useful in operating on a linux system. I have found a bug recently. In my Android 15 phone, when I click 'aider' in the commands section. The app crashes. Or it sometimes opens the 'aider' command, but when I click on the 'synopsis' option. The app crashes. I have tried many times, and all the time, it crashes mostly on the synopsis option of the command 'aider'. Fix this.

That resource file in the previous version was weird, but now a provider of Virus Total straight up said it has a mining trojan 😒 have the hashes of the diagnostic of it...
