I discovered tty7 (only) today (it has 1400 GH stars). I like it - seems fast and themable. The persistence is nice, plus i also like the mobile companion... interesting.

Thanks for tty7 info. After adjusting the color config, I like it - the terminal persistence and also the mobile app link.

It would be great if there were applications with support, like nextcloud and it's clients, client for talk and so on.

Same here... I have been looking at all the self hosting options for a while but swapping one centralized system for another isn't what I would prefer. Running/using local and community gitea/forgejo has been good, but I hope decentralized radicle could be the solution to more independence.

This is much needed, thanks!

Looks great. Not FLOSS.

> error-prone to set a 30-second timer. Oops, I’m tired and I hit zero too many times. That’s a 3-minute (3:00) timer. I typed in 3-0 correctly, but hitting the start button didn’t quite register. Siri misheard. Siri took 10 seconds to respond about a 30 second timer.

I get the diy factor, but still, the smartphone was supposed to be smart...

@Zigtools:

Thank you for your educative post, letting the community know.

Don't let it to drag you down in any way. This is emotionally draining and takes away motivation, but keep going.

I love using uv and would be supper happy if it allowed me not only to add and remove

uv add package

uv remove package

But also to upgrade a package and upgrade all packages in the pyproject.toml . The uv sync --upgrade can already do this in uv.lock , but not in pyproject.toml

Do note that mapy.cz is not open source and that they started moving more and more features into their subscription based paid offering... The beginning of enshittification.

Glad you find it useful. Below is an example script to demonstrate the concept. It is awesomely powerful. In vim, select some text and do this:

  :'<,'>! ./example.py

  #!/bin/env python3
  #:'<,'>! ./example.py # ← this is how to use it
  import sys
  data = sys.stdin.readlines()
  for l in data:
    l = l.replace("a", "e").rstrip()
    print(l)

Very cool! A while ago i did something similar and tried to learn vim more in depth by creating some more complex macros - several of them, to convert some text snippets into markdown. Problem was, that several months later i could not exactly remember some details of these "reusable" macros - where exactly to place cursor when starting them, the order of execution and so on. Thankfully, vim has the amazing ability to run commands/script on text selection, so i rewrote my macros in a scripting language. It has several bonus points: i can store them in git and track changes, code can be self-documented via comments. My macros were not too complex, but still, using a proper scripting ended up being much better.

Dash doesn't seem to be open source, plus it's a subscription model. Nothing against that, but OPs solution is MIT licensed.

Nice effort!

All these tools teach typing and looking at the typed text. Only few programs make physical separation between the source and the typed text or do hide the text currently typed. Try it... yet another level... :)
