Working on slk (https://github.com/gammons/slk) which is a TUI Slack client that runs in a terminal. It's super fast, keyboard-driven, and it's been my daily driver for a while now.

I've been making a modern Slack terminal client (https://github.com/gammons/slk) and it's been a joy to use daily. There are a few things that IMO have unlocked a fantastic TUI experience:

- TUI libraries like Lipgloss and Bubbletea really allow users to build a rich experience nowadays. Really anything from https://charm.land is well-polished and a joy to use.

- Kitty image format works great and allows for Avatars, image previews, etc, which helps immensely make slk feel like a Slack client and not an IRC client.

I've attempted many times to adopt Hyprland, but I always come back to swaywm. Stability and speed always seem to be an issue. Both hyprland and the plugins (hyprpm, etc) have an alpha-level quality to them.

I have nothing but respect for vaxerski. He's 100% dedicated to the project and is incredibly prolific. But I feel like they need a better release strategy for those who prioritize stability over shiny new thing.

I was a huge Notion fan. However, the long sync times were driving me nuts. I have since moved to inkdrop (https://www.inkdrop.app/) because it's much better for my use case:

* I can write Markdown notes. I've only wanted to write markdown notes.

* The syncing is incredibly fast because it's using an existing technology purpose-built for syncing (CouchDB)

* I can bring my own CouchDB and not have my data locked in

* Has a mobile app that works well

* There is a "vim mode" and that makes me happy.

I've been using ultralist (https://ultralist.io) and love it. It's open source + command-line based.
