I’m really digging reading web posts in the terminal.

After using it for some time, I realized that typing same arguments after the URL (That I usually copied to the clipboard from some other place) is getting cumbersome.

So I created a fish function out of it (If you see yourself doing the same task over and over, it is a good place to automated it)

Here is the simple function

I could not believe myself, that I finally created an IRC account.

Lot of people have asked how come I am not on IRC. They told me that we get to interact with smart people on IRC, including creators of great software, libraries, framework. But for some reason, I resisted. It felt complex, compared to modern communities like Telegram, Discord etc.

Today someone suggested it again on the Doom Emacs Telegram channel, and this time I decided to give an honest try.

Would you like to see pretty icons in your terminal for directory list ?

Then install lsd from here

Check this pretty screenshot of lsd --tree

In case you are wondering, I’m using nord theme with Alacritty

After using tmux for a while, I realized that whenever I create new session locally, I end up opening same set of panes.

• One for work project (Sometimes more than one, but usually one)
• One for some kind of blog (I have three Hugo projects at this time)
• One misc. I start this in ~, I use this for running brew commands or standalone python session, or bin/doom sync (which I’ve been doing from inside doom emacs these days, so the last usecase has gone down)

Turns out I’m not the only one™️ with such use case.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I’m trying to move to more text based workflows.

On that journey, I came across readable which creates a clean version of a webpage, just like Firefox Reader mode would do. But without Firefox.

Which means, you can read cleaner website from your terminal (if you want)

I had installed fzf some time ago. But default key ** for invoking fzf did not work with fzf.

Upon searching, I came across couple of options. Of those, I chose the one with active development.

As of this writing, the last commit was 11 days ago. Very active, I would say. 😄

Installation instruction said fisher install PatrickF1/fzf.fish but when tried, I got an error:

fisher: unknown flag or command "install"

🤔

I tried fisher add which seemed like closest option to install.
