Show HN: A REPL for browsers that agents love

FuckUI is a browser-based REPL tool designed for AI agents, allowing them to interact with and control web interfaces through a command-line-style environment.

Background

- "Fuck UI" is a sarcastic, anti-bloated-UI project that provides a REPL (Read-Eval-Print Loop) interface for controlling a browser, aimed at developers and AI agents. - A REPL is an interactive programming environment where you type commands and see results immediately (like a terminal for JavaScript). - The project's name and tone are deliberately provocative, reacting against modern Web design trends that prioritize visual complexity over raw, efficient interaction. - This was posted on Hacker News as a "Show HN" — a space where makers share projects with the tech community for feedback. - The hook is that AI agents (bots/LLMs) can more easily use a text REPL than a graphical interface, making this a tool for agent-driven browser automation without needing a traditional GUI.
