Some feedback you probably won't hear from the HN crowd:

Give more context to the site for initial visitors. Its going to be more obvious to those who visited from HN but not to those who stumbled upon it somehow. A little blurb at the top saying this is a reference site for bash scripting syntax and maybe why you saw the need for such a thing would do ease people into the site a bit.

I hate the popup at the bottom, I will hesitate to use the site again because of that (just like many of us avoid news sites with pesky popups), Its a major turn-off. Probably an unpopular opinion around here, but just maybe make a note at the bottom regarding the privacy stuff unless there are legal reasons not to (I'm not up on all the regulations) If you can't avoid it, make it way less intrusive.

Overall its really nice and I love to see better documentation made around old-school linux/bash tools and syntax as I often feel the documentation can be unwieldy with a lot of knowledge assumed. +1 to examples as others have said. Keep it up! :)

This is great feedback. I have removed the popup, I've had the suspicion that people may find it annoying and you and a few others have now confirmed it. Maybe I'll find some other use for it. I despise these things myself also, which is a bit funny lol. It turned into a "can I do it" rather than a "should I do it"-thing when the idea first crossed my mind..

I'll see if I can come with some non-disruptive way of adding some context to the site upon entering it.

It would definitely be helpful to have more context. I know some bash, but I'm far from an expert. The first thing I see on the page is a list of flags, but no clue what commands these flags are used with. A few usage examples would help a lot.

For example "-e checks if files exists" How? -e filename ? This doesn't work?

If you're just wondering, try:

  test -e file

or:

  if [ -e file ]; then
      echo "File exists!"
  else
      echo "File does not exist!"
  fi

Edit: Untested, I'm currently not at my desk to verify it :)

Former bread baker turned programmer here, I wrote a crude side project app a while ago called geekbread http://geekbread.com/. It just does basic bread formulas.

There is definitely a lack of good baking software in the industry. all the spreadsheets I saw when I worked were overly complicated and error-prone. Maybe one day I can expand on the app and work with some bakers on it :)
