Project Jumper – Terminal Navigation Tool for Developers

Built a minimal CLI utility to streamline switching between development projects via terminal. A small tool to reduce friction and boost dev flow.

Summary

Project Jumper is a tiny, installable Zsh package that lets me jump to my dev projects using a single terminal command:
proj my-app
It’s a clean replacement for cd ~/development/projects/..., removing repetitive typing and keeping context-switches snappy.
I built it to improve my own developer workflow—it’s early-stage, not public-facing or widely adopted yet—but reflects how I think: small, purposeful tools that reduce friction.
