I realize it’s just another framework. But I think the next time I’m building something useful beyond a basic CLI I will try textualize. https://github.com/Textualize/textual?tab=readme-ov-file

I don’t care much about aesthetic and a similar interface for terminal/web seems like it would be useful.

That said, I fully agree that it’s daunting to have to deal with any existing ui. It’s really tiresome to jump through multiple hoops just to get/show info - even before trying to make it pretty.

I always liked the concept of blaze, but it seems like development stopped 2 years ago.

Using webtorrents for multi-peer transfers & being able to UL/DL from a URL.

I think it has some sort of binary already in the archive. There’s a “start-tor-browser.desktop” you just double click to launch the browser.

I dont have a library that big, but I would recommend trying the Feishin desktop player if using navidrome. It’s a solid player in my experience, and has a smart playlist creator UI which the navidrome webui does not include.

This; Linuxserver Qbittorrent docker with gluetun to make sure all traffic goes through your VPN.

I believe grayjay has a desktop app now. I think it may still be in testing, though.

Semi-related, but several years ago I had a good experience getting my audiobooks from audible with https://github.com/rmcrackan/Libation

Most listed in some form elsewhere, but

• Ugrep
• ranger/lf
• tmux (splitting terminal and detatching/reattaching when I’m sshing onto server, etc)

I’ve also been enjoying Kate. It’s a decent text editor, but the ability to Ctrl + / to pipe selected lines through any Linux command (Uniq, shuf, etc) is a bit of a superpower for an editor

I love flexibility with regex, personally I use ugrep as it also allows utilization of boolean and/or/not logic for more complicated searches.

Do you have experience with either ranger, lf, or yazi? I’m wondering how broot compares. Big fan of file ranger, and this looks very similar.

I don’t use the Word replacement but I do use Calc (excel replacement). I very often want to run calculations or chart a bit of data and use Calc for that. Yeah I could use Google sheets, but every time I want to use it I have to go get my phone out to MFA. Far easier to just type “calc”.

I do not use any other features of LibreOffice.

At work I use the standalone power point and excel. I am not collaborating 99% of the time, and Microsoft Office has mechanisms for collaborating & sharing if I do. Using the browser always feels second class with some options moved or hard to find. Of course YMMV.

Can have a shared power envelope and naturally shares heat dissipation - which can both be limiters to simultaneously making full use of integrated graphics & CPU as well, even if the integrated graphics were powerful enough for gaming.
