Shorten your strings using common abbreviations.
This tool comes out of a frustration of the name of resources (in my specific case, AWS stack names) being too long. Wouldn't it be nice if we could have a tool that would be able to suggest shorter alternatives if your original name is too long.
Before we get any further, I'm really interested in how you feel about this tool. Please take the time to fill in this short survey: https://forms.gle/6xV1gB8yKGdmuHJ78
go get github.com/dnnrly/abbreviate
make buildThis tool will attempt to shorten the string provided using common abbreviations
specified by language and 'set'. Word boundaries will be detected using title case
and non-letters.
