AI Analysis

●●SolidCozySolve My Problem

Same Go pipeline runs as CLI and in-browser WASM with zero server uploads.

Strengths

•Compiles the exact same Go logic to WebAssembly for browser demos.
•Handles markdown tables and code fences without breaking structure.
•MIT licensed with Homebrew tap and shell completions included.

Weaknesses

•Solves a minor friction point that manual regex could mostly handle.
•Niche utility likely to be absorbed by AI CLI native formatting flags.

Post Description

I kept manually reformatting wrapped paragraphs and trailing whitespace every time I pasted Claude Code or Copilot CLI output into a Slack message or a GitHub issue. So I built a terminal command to run after copying that does the reformatting for me.

Running in a terminal instead of using one of the browser-based formatting tools means less context switching. It handles both regular text, bulleted lists and code formatting all at the same time. Source: https://github.com/TheAndruu/ai-clean

The page above runs the same Go pipeline compiled to WebAssembly — paste your own messy clipboard contents, no install needed. If you want to install it, there is homebrew and one-line install commands.
