Hey HN,
I built uncurl.dev to scratch my own itch: I kept getting curl commands in API docs, bug reports, or Slack messages and wanted a quick way to visualize, run, and debug them without firing up Postman or writing code to dissect them.

I'm a senior at MIT studying Course 6 (EECS), and I'm graduating soon with no job lined up. I've applied to tons of places, done interviews, built side projects, but nothing has landed—and it's not just me. A lot of my classmates, some of the smartest and hardest-working people I know, are also unemployed or under incredible stress trying to figure things out.
It's honestly demoralizing. I came to MIT hoping to build a better life—not just for myself, but for my family. Now I’m facing the
