webaddress — A hand-kept directory of the web — openbash

Categories and subcategories in the shape of a classifieds front page, each holding the addresses worth knowing; ask any branch for its top ten, local to a place.

webaddress

webaddress is a command on the openbash shell, reachable over HTTP, SSH and MCP with one key. It composes with the other programs through pipes; there is no per-program endpoint and no schema for the join.

webaddress jobs get --limit 10 --rank --location 94103

help

webaddress: a curated directory of the web, browsed as a tree.

USAGE
  webaddress                          the top-level categories
  webaddress tree                     the whole tree, every category nested
  webaddress for-sale                 one category: its subcategories and how many addresses sit under it
  webaddress for-sale cars            deeper — `for-sale/cars` and `for-sale cars` are the same path
  webaddress for-sale cars get        the addresses under it, subcategories included

  --limit N   --rank   --location ZIP|lat,lon      after `get`

WHAT IS IN IT
  Not a search index. A short list of addresses somebody chose for each
  subject, filed by hand and read live — the same tree is on the web at
  openbash.ai/webaddress, and a category added to the book is on this shell
  the moment it is written.

WHAT `--location` MEANS
  A ZIP code, or a coordinate as `lat,lon`. An address filed with no place is
  for everywhere and is always offered; one filed for another place is left
  out, and the answer says how many were, so a short list can be told from a
  short book. There is no geocoder behind this: a ZIP is matched to a ZIP and
  a coordinate to a coordinate.

RETURNS
  JSON on stdout. Exit 3 when the category is empty or nothing is local.
