heartleo

heartleo is an independent software publisher whose work is distributed through its GitHub profile at github.com/heartleo, currently offering three open-source command-line utilities that focus on content access and processing from the terminal. The catalog emphasizes lightweight, scriptable tools rather than graphical applications, targeting developers, power users, and anyone who prefers keyboard-driven workflows. The first product, hn, is a terminal-based client for Hacker News, allowing users to browse stories, read comment threads, and keep up with technology news without leaving the command line; it suits engineers who want quick, distraction-free access to the site's content. The second product, subtrans, addresses media localization by translating SRT subtitle files through OpenAI-compatible APIs, making it possible to convert subtitles between languages in batch processes or automated pipelines; this is useful for video creators, translators, and archivists who need to localize subtitle content programmatically while preserving the standard SRT timing format. The third product, zlib, is a command-line interface for Z-Library, enabling users to search for and retrieve digital books directly from the terminal, which streamlines workflows for readers and researchers who manage large ebook collections or prefer to integrate book discovery into scripted environments. Taken together, these three packages share a common design philosophy: they wrap popular web-based services and content sources in minimal, automation-friendly interfaces, prioritizing speed, composability, and integration with shell environments. The heartleo portfolio is representative of a growing category of developer-oriented utilities that treat reading, translation, and media consumption as tasks that can be handled efficiently in a text-based workflow, offering practical value to users who work primarily in terminals and value tools that can be chained, scripted, and combined with other command-line programs.
