I&#39;m thrilled to announce I just released Command Book App: A native macOS app for developers, data scientists, AI enthusiasts and more. https://commandbookapp.com This is a tool I&#39;ve been using lately to help build Talk Python, Talk Python Training, and many more applications. It&#39;s a bit like advanced terminal commands or complex shell aliases, but hosted outside of your terminal. This leaves the terminal there for interactive commands, exploration, short actions. (1/2)
