I built I built builder, a tool for helping "I built" builders
https://github.com/jams246/i-built-i-built-builder
I've been seeing a lot of:
I built ...
posts here recently and I realized that the real missing piece was not another CLI tool, but a tool for building tools that are built to be posted as "I built" posts here on reddit.
So what is this tool? I'm glad you asked!
I built I built builder is a CLI that scaffolds Rust CLI tools whose natural end state is an "I built" post. With I built I built builder, you can build a tool, build the README, build the release workflow, and build the post explaining that you built the thing that I built I built builder helped you build.
In other words, I built I built builder to help people say "I built" with more consistency, velocity, and mechanical sympathy.
The idea is simple: instead of building a tool and then separately writing about how you built it, I built I built builder helps you build the thing and the "I built" around the thing you built.
Example:
i-built-i-built-builder --name tomlshave --solves "trimming whitespace in embedded TOML snippets"
That command lets I built I built builder scaffold the tool, build the docs, and build the "I built" narrative around why the built tool needed to be built.
Anyway, I built I built I built builder, and now I’m posting that I built I built I built builder so that other people who build tools can use I built I built builder to build better “I built” tools and better “I built” posts about the tools they built.
Feedback welcome. Validation preferred.
