My most used "unique" feture of WezTerm and one of the main reasons I'd struggle to move to any of the alternatives is quick select mode[0] which massively speeds up copying or typing file names, hashes, IDs, etc. from the ou

Looks like a very nice project overall. I was initially interested in the "native" UI but after trying Ghostty I think I've realised that in a terminal app I actually want all the UI to be terminal/TUI based within the t

Thanks for taking the time to think about these things upfront rather than just cynically chasing money like 99% of paid/monetised apps out there. It will greatly increase the attractiveness of your software to me if you stick to the

Good question. I try to avoid proprietary software when I can, so if I wanted something like this I’d definitely look for open source options first. I’ll endure a reasonable amount of setup pain as long as the solution is what I’m after to

IMO those expectations are not reasonable at all given the description of the software; they sound more like anti-goals. When I see “single HTML file” it conjures up the same expectations as when PocketBase[0] describes itself as an “Open

What I'd love to see is a default JavaScript environment (ideally across all browsers, but at least in FF) that is sufficiently basic as to be identical for all users with an icon appearing in the address bar when a site wishes to use

The only laudable move is to reject all forms of tracking and targeted ads as a matter of principle and make sure there’s at least one completely ad-free option. There are few (if any) media businesses I care about enough to compromise on m

Every digital camera I've ever owned takes "better" pictures than my iPhone 15 Pro. The iPhone is fantastic for taking a few snaps to remember a trip or event, or recording an ephemeral "story", but when I am actual

Accessing a publicly available web service is not “taking liberties with things you don’t own”. If you put a server on the public internet and I send it a message (assuming I’m not using ill-gotten credentials, etc.), anything it responds w

I haven’t cared about megapixels for a long time. My “real” camera is a decade old and has just a 16 megapixel sensor. With the right lens(es) it still destroys every iPhone. I don’t see myself getting rid of it for a phone camera any tim

Agree that at best the majority of the updates these days are nice to have, if that. But I’ll buy every other new “Pro” phone if it takes noticeably better photos, regardless of everything else.

Quickselect mode is amazing though! It's useful out of the box but the superpower is that you can customise the regexes it matches. I've added one that finds all the filenames output by 'eza --icons' (\p{Co} matches th
