Show HN: Stamp turns a folder into a plain text file and a file into a folder
Cool seems like unix `cat` command with addition of storing the filepath (so maybe like `find`?)<p>While this of course sound like a cool project and my comment might be the most Hacker News-y thing [1] I think it's aimed at developers and so it fits.<p>I don't agree with the zip downsides listed in the repo since firstly `unzip -l` exists to see what's in a zip and secondly the argument with reuploading the zip doesn't work in favor of a different format since you also need to update it in a remote when changed.<p>Secondly I am kind of amused about this format when `touch`, `mkdir -p` and `echo` are available in every POSIX compliant system which can be combined to create a nice coherent shell script which without dependencies would cover the functionality of this project as far as I understand.<p>I don't want to sound condescending but I'm a feeling a little left-pad [2] on this one.<p>[1]: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9224" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9224</a><p>[2]: <a href="https://www.davidhaney.io/npm-left-pad-have-we-forgotten-how-to-program/" rel="nofollow">https://www.davidhaney.io/npm-left-pad-have-we-forgotten-how...</a>
