A Free Terminal Tool for Resistor Color Codes — No Browser Required
Every electronics workbench eventually has the same pile: unmarked resistors, half-read color bands, and the reflex to open a browser tab just to confirm what you already suspected.
I got tired of that. So I built a CLI tool in pure C++17 that does it in the terminal, with no internet connection, no dependencies, and ANSI color output that actually shows you what the bands look like.
It's called resistor. It's free. MIT license.
