About

Lek(叻) means "brilliant" in Cantonese, while .gg is a top-level domain (TLD) name for Guernsey. Also, Gg's English pronunciation has the same phonetic as piggy in Cantonese. Altogether, lek gg is a childish way to indicate a smart little piggy.

Lek contains a collection of quality tools to help you get things done. I am a software engineer who spends most of my time in front of my computer coding or tackling problems. We have tons of quality tools on CLI and benefit from them. When I am away from my editor, terminal, or the development environment, I feel stuck and uncomfortable from time to time when I can't reach them, like on the go or at my friend's home to help them with some computer problems.

I am deeply inspired by the UNIX philosophy and firmly believe in its principle: "Write programs that do one thing and do it well.". So, I built this tools site to help myself and make it into a web version, hoping to lend my hands to more people since the web is open to everyone, and we don't need to set up any environment before we use any of them.

Currently (2025), we don't have much here, but I'm actively expanding the collection and curating the next sweet one in my leisure time. If you have some ideas or found a bug from the one you love, feel free to reach out hello(at)lek.gg—I am happy and looking forward to your letter.
