Simple "terminal-optimized" tasks.  In an abstract way, got a PTY (term.js) that connects to the shell (termprops.js) to the user's display. Friendly web front-end that can run quick functions that I normally used a Python shell for, such as common conversions and quick math. We've also got full CD! * JavaScript features
