Tools I use ever since

Soc Virnyl Estela | 2024-01-30 | reading time: ~1min

Editors§

I am very familiar with any editor now from Emacs, to VSCode, from IntelliJ to Vim. But my notable favorite editors are Helix and Kakoune. Visual feedback is more convenient for me that is why I prefer the reverse mode of Helix and Kakoune over Vim or Neovim.

Web Browser§

I still use Firefox. I have been a Firefox user for 3 years now ever since COVID-19 happened

Calendar§

The funny thing about calendars is I always look at my phone. I guess it is either the cal command or Thunderbird's Calendar.

Note-taking§

I have tried many note-taking apps. I believe that Org mode from Emacs has potential, especially my favorite Org Roam + UI plugin, but the fact that it is only for Emacs is a deal breaker for me. I plan to write something similar that is editor-agnostic and platform-agnostic. But for now, I am using on just plain text markdown. Obsidian looks enticing though.

hyper in curl Needs a Champion

tl;dr - hyper in curl is nearly complete, but it needs a champion. Without a partner actively engaged that wants to enable and ship, it’s now on the path for being deprecated and removed. It needs a champion, a backing vendor or distro. Will that be you? …

Swift observations from a reluctant Rustacean

Recently I've been thinking about Swift in terms of Rust, & have appreciated anew some of the choices made. In Rust. There's been a proliferation of X vs Y posts on the web, especially since the advent of LLM AI, so I try to resist the format. It's often e…
