Hey everyone! I just released a web tool that allows you to create custom Bash PS1 prompts visually. You can add elements like date, time, user info, host, path, and even Git status, plus style them with colors and attributes. Once you're done, you can instantly copy the final prompt code. I'd really love to hear feedback from Linux users on the following: Is the output practical for real shell use? Are there any elements you think are missing? Have you encountered any bugs or UX issues on your system or browser? Check it out here: [Prompt Generator](https://neiki.eu/bash-prompt-generator/) and on [GitHub](https://github.com/jindrichstoklasa/bash-prompt-generator). Thanks for any feedback, even if it's just a quick note!

I think it’s cool, but I feel a bit lost. What exactly does the prompt generator do? Can someone explain how it works in simple terms?
Awesome tool! I love the visual elements in your design. Just a small note, I couldn't drag and drop elements. Clicking worked fine, but reordering them was tricky because of that issue.
I ran into some issues. When I tried adding a special character, it didn't appear correctly. Plus, the 'copy to clipboard' feature showed some strange characters in the success message. Seems like a couple of bugs in the web display.
The prompt is just the customizable part of your command line. You can change how it looks, like adding colors or showing your current directory. It’s pretty helpful for those who like their terminal stylish! Some users change their username color based on if they're root or not.
This is really nice! I like minimalist prompts too. I usually use the $PROMPT_COMMAND for some extra customization in my terminal title bar. Your tool could definitely help others explore customization options.
