I've been making a modern Slack terminal client (https://github.com/gammons/slk) and it's been a joy to use daily. There are a few things that IMO have unlocked a fantastic TUI experience:

- TUI libraries like Lipgloss and Bubbletea really allow users to build a rich experience nowadays. Really anything from https://charm.land is well-polished and a joy to use.

- Kitty image format works great and allows for Avatars, image previews, etc, which helps immensely make slk feel like a Slack client and not an IRC client.

I created a tool that will automatically suck in claude sessions into a separate repo. It sanitizes any sensitive data like API keys. Our team finds this useful to share sessions + context.

I've attempted many times to adopt Hyprland, but I always come back to swaywm. Stability and speed always seem to be an issue. Both hyprland and the plugins (hyprpm, etc) have an alpha-level quality to them.

I have nothing but respect for vaxerski. He's 100% dedicated to the project and is incredibly prolific. But I feel like they need a better release strategy for those who prioritize stability over shiny new thing.

We still have to use outdated layout / css techniques because some email clients (cough outlook) only support a limited set of HTML/CSS features, and they seem to have no plans to want to make things easier for those who send html emails.

See https://www.caniemail.com/scoreboard/ and take note of what's at the bottom of that list.

Interesting to see their test indicating battery life is worse than the Intel 13th gen variant. Notebookcheck's result[1] was vastly different:

Runtimes are longer than the Intel-based configurations by significant margins due to the lower power consumption levels mentioned above. We're able to browse the web for over 3 hours longer on our AMD model versus the Core i7-1370P model when both are set to Balanced mode and 150 nit brightness.

I was a huge Notion fan. However, the long sync times were driving me nuts. I have since moved to inkdrop (https://www.inkdrop.app/) because it's much better for my use case:

* I can write Markdown notes. I've only wanted to write markdown notes.

* The syncing is incredibly fast because it's using an existing technology purpose-built for syncing (CouchDB)

* I can bring my own CouchDB and not have my data locked in

* Has a mobile app that works well

* There is a "vim mode" and that makes me happy.

Related, there is also the Olschool PC font Resource which is a fun site to visit:

I've been using ultralist (https://ultralist.io) and love it. It's open source + command-line based.

Throwing my failed side project into the ring as well - Ultralist[1][2] is very similar to todo.txt but has a bigger focus on Due dates. I use it every day.

The CLI portion is fully baked and works great, but the webapp and syncing part never really gained traction.

ConvertKit | Boise, ID | Full-Time | REMOTE only | CEST-PST timezones preferred

ConvertKit is an email marketing platform that helps creators earn a living online. Read our full reason for existing here: https://convertkit.com/mission/

Here's why you should seriously consider working at ConvertKit:

1. We're bootstrapped. We're not on the VC train. We like growth and are growing, but answering to VCs, investors, and all the BS that comes with that is just not part of our world at all.

2. We default to transparency and working in public as much as possible. Feel free to browse all of our financials here: https://convertkit.baremetrics.com/

3. We love side projects. I have my own side project that Nathan even referenced in his most recent blog post (https://nathanbarry.com/product-secrets/). I (me being the Director of Engineering at ConvertKit) personally view side projects as a fantastic, zero-risk way to learn new tech and keep up in the field.

4. Nathan is a kind, generous, nice, and trusting individual. Our culture reflects that. It's built on a foundation that we trust each other, and therefore we have a very positive, healthy culture.

5. We're growing. Our growth is accelerating, and we are needing to scale with our growth. Because of that, we're facing a lot of hard, interesting scaling challenges. For some engineers, these types of challenges are super fun. Those are the kind of engineers we're hiring.

4. Other cool perks like paid paid vacation, 2 year equipment credit, 4 weeks of paid vacation, generous maternity/paternity leave, a flexible work schedule, fun team retreats, and being supportive of the needs of those with kids.

This is a clickbait-y headline for the wrong reasons. I applaud their effort for recognizing the problem, but if they are truly interested in hiring female developers then they need to work harder. Either 1) do outbound recruiting and sourcing or 2) open a junior role.

We have a Junior engineer opening at ConvertKit, and have had well over 100 extremely high quality candidates, over half of which are female.

It's not enough to just lay out your "we're hiring" sign and expect your team's diversity to magically increase. Get proactive with outbound or hire a hungry, ambitious Jr engineer.

Sidenote: The "Heroku for PowerPoint decks" bit is exactly what I am working on as a side project, and I'm very close to launching a private beta. Patio11 - has someone else launched that already? It's scarily close to my idea and value prop!

The article is missing deliverability stats. Sure, you can reduce your bill significantly by switching to SES, but that means nothing if all of your emails are being sent to a user's spam box or promos folder. Mailchimp does a lot out of the box to ensure deliverability and good email placement, and that's part of the cost you're paying for.

I built + maintain todolist[1] which is a GTD-style task management app for the command line. It's getting a bit of traction now which is pretty fun. It got a ton of upvotes on Product Hunt which was really cool to see[2].

I have very loose plans to monetize via a paid subscription for syncing with other devices / phones, but there will always bee a free / open source version as well.

Since it appears to be markdown slides day on HN, I am getting close to releasing a beta of Ultradeck (https://ultradeck.co). Currently the marketing site mentions that Ultradeck is a desktop app, but I have since pivoted and it will be a webapp. I am targeting a beta launch next month!

I would absolutely be in favor of #1 and #3.

I disagree. The best option is to call. You likely won't talk to the rep themselves, but you will either leave a message or talk to one of their staffers. It will bubble up to them. If a rep gets a ton of calls against a particular piece of legislation, they may change their position for fear of not being re-elected.

This is a great idea, and was something I was searching for when I became VP of Engineering at PipelineDeals. Alongside ctomentor.network, there are other useful resources for engineering leaders as well:

* CTOschool in NYC (http://www.meetup.com/ctoschool/). They have over 2k members, monthly meetups and an active, relevant mailing list. I recommend joining for the mailing list alone.

* I live in Philly so I was tired of commuting to NYC for this meetup, so I co-founded CTOSchool in Philly (http://meetup.com/CTO-School-Philadelphia/). We have over 200 members now and growing.

Both groups focus on engineering leadership topics like hiring, onboarding, software delivery process, team structure, dealing with c-level team, etc. It really made a huge difference in my career.

I wrote something similar - a command-line based task management system with an integrated web view.

http://todolist.site

I have used deckset for all of my presentations[1]. It's fantastic, and forces you to follow Zach Holman's rules[2] about slide typography, which is basically "you can't go too big."

[1] https://speakerdeck.com/gammons [2]: http://speaking.io/design/typography/

While marp looks great, reveal.js[1] includes markdown support and has a huge ecosystem.

[1] https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js

The big difference is philosophical. I don't mind having a tool to manage my todos, whereas todo.txt is centered around your Todo.txt file.

I've been considering building an integration to Todo.txt as I don't think our projects are mutually exclusive.

I'm also building out a reusable web component and I plan on making an IOS + Android app as well.

I just released version 0.2 of todolist [1] which looks and feels very similar to theca in a lot of ways. The main difference is that todolist is focused around GTD and productivity, and is akin to Todoist or Wunderlist, but for the command line.
