Thanks for making this - like others commenting here, working on something similar, but more for personal email workflow rather than a product. I'd definitely like to give it a spin - the screenshots (ahem video) would be great.

Just installed it and started using. It is timely as I have to fill a number of forms today on government sites so looking forward to using it. What are some best practices you have come up with for reducing the cognitive load for the trigger lifecycle - that is detect the need, come up with one that fits an easy to retrieve mental model? Namespacing obviously comes to mind, and some trigger design should be as conflict free as possible, yet brief:

  :i.a - address
  :i.n - name
  :i.p - phone

Debating if I should feed my zsh history to chatgpt and as it to come up with some. Any other advice from the power users?

Wouldn’t it be nice to have a planet like rss feed from these?

Came here to see if it was the same person, though I felt very sure with the throwback web design - back when each page had its character, and you had to save the page for offline reading so that Dad wasn't pissed at the phone bill! And when the code worked - it was validation against all the previous failures (and rejections) in life! Oh the joy of sending message from one computer to the other!

Thank you Beej.

I love to see investment in tools like these, so thank you so much for working on it and packaging it.

Another useful tool that I don’t see cheered enough for is vars(). When integrating new api-s, you’d often find yourself at pdb(or ipdb) prompt pretty printing(pp) loaded variables and attributes calls - pp(vars(foo)) has been a great friend reducing the burden of dot walking.

One thing I have longed for, but never took the time to research though, is pagination - your debugger window is often fighting for screen real estate, so data rich API calls becomes a little jarring.

Hook. And imagine the targeted ad revenue - where else do you have people with different spending powers strapped to a seat with nowhere to go? You have already given the flight operator your verified identification. Amazing new opportunity for data resellers.

My nephews on both side of the pond (one in London and one in North Carolina) have received smart watches for their 10th birthday. Mom can call you, you can call mom. Find My for easy tracking by parents.

Curious to learn what other strategies people have developed for hackathons, specially in a post Copilot era, how do hackathon participants perceive the landscape has changed?

This takes me to my childhood. My dad was an electrical engineer in India and worked at a ship repair dockyard. He once came back with a few shelves and cabinets for our kitchen. These were taken out of ships that were getting cut up in their dockyard. They were complete mismatches in aesthetics but it did not matter to his "why waste such functional ..." attitude. He was excited about what his "workers" could salvage from the ship. Mom didn't care as this was an old house where we have been living for generations and functionality trumped aesthetics.

The most intriguing part to me was the wooden cabinet was painted white with something stencil printed in green. My best guess was that was a Cyrillic script, and about twenty five years back, it wasn't easy to decipher what they meant.

Those cabinets are still hanging in our old house. Next time I'm there, all I need to do is pull up my phone and translate that text and get a kick out of what the original intention was for the sailors and what my mom is storing in it!
