Text files as a user interface

Quality: 8/10 Relevance: 9/10

Summary

The article promotes using plain text files edited in a familiar editor as a lightweight UI for command-line tools and scripts. It provides real-world examples (crontab, git commit, visudo, gallery management) and full CLI wrappers, arguing this approach improves speed, traceability, and reusability without building traditional GUIs.
