zmd

zmd is a collection of command-line utilities that you can access through simple curl commands. Instead of opening multiple websites or applications, you can get information directly in your terminal. The service offers tools for checking weather, converting currencies and units, generating ASCII art, looking up DNS records, checking domain availability, translating text, and more. Everything works through straightforward URL endpoints that return clean, readable text output.

The system is built on PHP and integrates with various external APIs and datasets to provide its functionality. What makes zmd stand out is its simplicity and focus on the command-line interface. You don't need to install anything beyond curl, which comes standard on most systems. The ASCII art generator is particularly robust, offering 289 different font styles and the ability to output results as downloadable PNG images.

This tool is most useful for developers, system administrators, and anyone who spends significant time in the terminal. It's perfect for quick checks without context switching between applications. You can check domain availability before registering a new website, convert currencies for international transactions, generate ASCII art for README files, or quickly check the weather—all without leaving your command line environment.
