Show HN: I built a curl command builder to learn curl

    I recently realised I didn't really _know_ curl, I only ever used "copy as curl" from my browser's dev tools or searched for the command each time.

    So I went through my own search history, and wrote-up https://onlineornot.com/curl-command and this generator so I wouldn't need to look up the flags each time.

    I built in TypeScript and it uses nuqs to sync the form's state with the URL. I'm thinking about extending it into a proper browser-based API client just for fun too.
