Been using for years for my freelance/consultant activity a bash-based environment with convenience enhancements: create context per client or project, get instant access to auto-created per-context-day working directory with easy navigation, per context environment + bash_history + logging of terminal content + ability to instantly create/edit timestamped files for note taking.
Good productivity booster, helps a lot isolate clients, easily answer customer phone calls any time. Logging saved me a few times.
Been wanting for a long time to rewrite it into something usable by others. Been doing that rewrite during lockdown.
All this reuses existing tools and conventions, is lightweight, shell-completion friendly, easy to learn.
Also, written (again) a game for the 8bit computer Amstrad CPC of 1984, in clean modern C on a C compiler that understands most of C11. With optimized assembly for time-critical parts.
Both started earlier this year, got more time during lockdown.
I might offer a "show HN" for one or both. If you have any interest please tell.
- Jemaclus 6y agoI'm interested!
- s_gourichon 6y agoThanks! Will you go to the "fire and forget" route of hoping I do some "Show HN" and be unaware in between, or will you provide some way to notify you? Especially, since the thing is rewritten but partially modular I have started asking around me what features are most wanted, so that I can start the modularity effort in areas that make most sense. I've been considering an online poll. Will you participate? How to reach you?
- Jemaclus 6y agoDo you have this in a GitHub repo or a blog? I'll follow that :)
