smassh is the coolest monkeytype tui clone, its impressively accurate. Easy to install and run, all the same themes appear to be there and everything. maybe a good way to get a few reps in while agents are running these days.
I need to go back and brush up on my skills I’m down a good 20wpm from what I should be doing.
Atuin desktop sounds dope AF, tried to install it off the AUR and it was broken for me. Seems early and the dev team is all in on mac. They have an official .deb and .rpm. I’ll have to try again later, maybe the binary will work.
The idea of building out runbooks from my Atuin data sounds dope AF. It sounds like a mix of markdown and executable cells like a jupyter notebook, but not. Really pitching hard to those of us in the system administration, dev ops, SRE space. Having something that you walk through when a system goes down and you are feeling panicked in DR mode sounds relieving.
I’ve been working on ninesui, inspired by k9s see thoughts-633. I want a good flow for making video for the readme and I am using charm.sh’s vhs for this. Its running in an archBTW distrobox and looks gawdaweful.

It’s sad to see textualize.io close the doors, but textual is still alive and maintained as a n open source project. I tried to use it very early, and struggled, this was before docs and tutorials really existed, before a lot of the widgets and components existed. Then as we all do I got busy and moved on to other things in life and did not have the capacity to build TUIs.
I like tuis, I like staying in the terminal. I use lf daily to move files around when I want something more than mv and cp. I use k9s hourly to...

This new demo of textual is wildly awesome, so many widgets and features being added into the main library. The themes and animations are on point and far surpass my expectations of a tui.
50 minutes into this episode they start a discussion on seo, and naming posts. They give Jerod the task of googling for tmux and see how high up the ranking they find Nick, expecting a number one post, and he cant even get to Nick.
The problem? Jerod is such a beginner he doesn’t even know what to search, he starts with a long query about getting started with tmux, but all of Nick’s videos are why you should use advanced features of tmux, but Jerod has yet to discover that these exist.
As experts we often come up wtih a post title for the exact thing that we are trying to teach someone how to do, but yet, they haven’t discussed that they need that feature yet, they just want the getting started guide, or tell me why I should start using tmux. Not why sessions are better than windows, and tabs suck all together.
Definitely an eye opening conversation listening to two experts sit in shock as the beginner just gets dropped big tech articles, and Nick Jani-freakin-takis doesn’t even hit the query page after page.

This looks like a sweet tui postman clone. Darren is really rolling with these tui’s. Cant wait to see where this one goes.
Textual is so sick, Will just made a live markdown editor in the terminal!
How to center things in textual. Textual has a very unique way of styling text user interfaces for the terminal using css. If you know css it feels natural.
