rebound

Rebound is a command‑line utility that runs a source file, captures any exception or compiler error, and automatically retrieves related Stack Overflow questions and answers. By invoking `rebound` with the path to a script, developers can view relevant troubleshooting information directly in the terminal without switching to a web browser. The tool supports Python, Node.js, Ruby, Golang, and Java files and works on macOS, Linux, and Windows (via Cygwin).

Implemented in Python, Rebound uses the Urwid library for its terminal interface, Beautiful Soup to scrape Stack Overflow content, and the subprocess module to detect errors during execution. After an error occurs, it extracts the message, formulates a search query, and presents a list of matching posts for quick reference.

The project is distributed as a pip‑installable package (`rebound-cli`) and is also available through Linux package managers. It is stable, open‑source, and invites contributions via pull requests, with future plans to improve text formatting, search accuracy, and language coverage.
