Post Description

What if you could get design inspiration (from HackerNews, ProductHunt, Awwwards, Mobbin) while Claude is thinking directly from the terminal?

When Claude's thinking, I'm typically doing one of these things:

1/ Scrolling LinkedIn 2/ Checking Slack 3/ Improving my agentic processes (e.g., tweaking skills) 4/ Going to Awwwards.com to look at beautiful design

But since I'm a terminal fanboy (I set a monospaced font in Slack so it looks more like a terminal), I don't want to type any URLs.

I want to browse cool resources directly from the terminal.

So, I'm building "nosh-cli"

Here's the idea:

- You send your long-ass prompt to Claude - It starts its 5-10 thinking process - You open another terminal tab - You type "nosh" - It opens a CLI app with the latest, coolest resources from HackerNews, ProductHunt, Awwwards, Mobbin - You choose one and navigate to the relevant URL to explore more - You get a notif that Claude is done (if notifs == on) and get back to prompting & thinking

Design Inspiration for LLMs

It turns real production sites into compact design tokens and an llm.txt context so large models don't hallucinate weird UI choices — neat move to reduce token bloat while keeping designs grounded. The MCP endpoints (search_design_inspiration, export_domain_tokens, get_layout_data, display_pin) and direct integrations with tools like Cursor and VS Code make it immediately usable in prompt workflows, but value will hinge on extraction accuracy and coverage of the indexed sites.
