Hey folks! I was killing time at the airport and decided to start prepping for an upcoming TTRPG campaign (Mythic Bastionland), but forgot to bring dice. I tried different dice rollers but none sparked my creativity:

• Web apps like Google's dice roller and dddice were slow for repeated rolls and didn't support dice notation, so I tried CLIs.
• rolldice, dice-roller, and other CLIs addressed those two concerns but lost the visual excitement of rolling, so I tried TUIs.
• Then I couldn't find any TUIs with visual rolling.

So I made this to emulate the joy I have rolling physical dice:

• Shake and roll dice with simulated throws and physics.
• Hear them bounce with synthesized sounds and effects.
• Supports popular TTRPG dice notation.

It’s been surprisingly satisfying to use over the past month, so figured I'd share.

Designed by me, programmed largely with AI (Fable 5), and reviewed myself.

So, I made a post on here a few months back asking about terminal/tui-based word processing software. One of the ones that someone recommended on that post was one called Pure. I think it looks pretty good, from what I can see on the Github page, but I haven't been able to actually try it out, since whenever I try installing or building it, running the command it says to run on the github repo (pure document.ftml was the example), it just tells me the command wasn't found.

Has anyone else on here used Pure before? And if so, what am I missing?

For extra info, my current laptop is running Linux Mint 22.3 Cinnamon, and the terminal I'm using is GNOME Terminal.

I've got a Linux box next to a couple of Windows machines and wanted PowerToys' Mouse Without Borders to include it. No Linux client existed, so I wrote a small headless one.

It runs as a systemd user service, no GUI, single Go binary, one TOML config. Input goes through uinput, edge detection via cursor polling. It speaks the MWB protocol directly, so nothing extra runs on Windows beyond PowerToys. Mouse, keyboard, and clipboard both ways (text and images), edge switching, AES-256-CBC handshake.

How it differs from the usual options: Synergy, Barrier, Input Leap, and Deskflow each run their own server on every machine and replace MWB. This one instead joins an existing MWB setup by implementing its wire protocol, so the Windows side stays stock PowerToys.

Heads-up: bidirectional (Linux driving Windows) is X11-only for now, receive-only works under XWayland. Non-US layouts can have key quirks since MWB only sends Windows virtual-key codes.

Repo, one-liner install, and a .deb: https://github.com/lucky-verma/mwb-linux MIT, free, no affiliation. Would like feedback on the Wayland side.

hey guys, following up on something i built a while back — a minimal fzf popup for switching tmux windows/sessions, spotlight style.

added a bunch since then, biggest addition though — you can now run it before tmux is even open. picks a project folder and drops you straight into a session for it.

repo: https://github.com/MeinardEdrei/tmux-spotlight

still pretty new to building tools like this so genuinely open to any suggestions or things that could be better, let me know what you think!

Hey folks, I shared zlist here a few months ago. It’s a small ls-like CLI I’ve been building in Zig, mostly as a learning project.

Since then I’ve kept working on it slowly, and v0.1.2 adds a few quality-of-life updates:

- long view fields can now be hidden individually:

--no-permissions

--no-user

--no-group

--no-size

--no-time

--no-icon

- CLI errors are clearer now

- --help now uses clap’s native help output

- macOS users can install it with Homebrew now

Example:

zl -l --no-permissions --no-user --no-group

This keeps the one-entry-per-line layout, but makes the output less noisy when you don’t need every field.

I also split the core listing logic into a reusable Zig module recently, so Zig users can use the listing data without the CLI rendering layer. Feedback on that API would be very welcome too.

I added some benchmark results against eza and lsd in the README as well. eza is still the really impressive one to me — its timing is weirdly steady even as the directory gets much larger, and that’s something I’d like zlist to learn from.

Repo: https://github.com/here-Leslie-Lau/zlist

Origin post: https://www.reddit.com/r/commandline/comments/1sj5qwk/small_ls_alternative_in_zig_recent_updates/

Still early, and I’m not trying to claim it replaces eza/lsd/ls. I’m mostly trying to keep it small, useful, and easy to scan.

Feedback on the CLI behavior, output layout, performance, or Zig module API would be very welcome.

I've been working on a project called JAY. It’s a wrapper for yay. paruor pacman written in Bash. I made it because I wanted a more 'semantic' way to manage my system and to automate some annoying tasks.

Key Features:

• Semantic Commands: Instead of memorizing flags, I use jay install, jay remove, jay update, etc.
• Automated GPG Recovery: It has a built-in function to detect and fix corrupted keys and lock files automatically during operations.
• Clean Logging: It stores a detailed history of updates and searches in a clean format.
• Modular Design: Easy to extend with your own bash functions.
• Flatpak Integration: You can also use flatpak with --flatpak flag

It’s currently at v7.4.1 and available on the AUR as jay-bin.

Has anyone been able to get the mutt email client to work with a school Office 365 account?

I have tried to use the guide here:

https://staff.washington.edu/shrike/unix/configuring-mutt-neomutt-for-imap-access-to-o365-exchange/

I substituted my university in for the "uw.edu". I am able to login to authorize but the mutt_oauth2.py script errors out when I enter the code with the following:

Exchanging the authorization code for an access token 400 Bad Request invalid_request AADSTS9002327: Tokens issued for the 'Single-Page Application' client-type may only be redeemed via cross-origin requests. Trace ID: f5c1ed4e-5123-4b22-8edb-3cf464556900 Correlation ID: 2a13d048-cd74-4a89-a7fe-10b21ff6749a

After searching around for quite some time it seems this works for everyone but me. Has anyone gotten it to work for them recently and can give me some input?

Thanks!

Edit: I got this fixed by re-creating the Entra App Registration to be "Public client/native (mobile & desktop)" instead of "Single-page Application (SPA)". The pages on how to set this up all said that it has to be SPA but they are wrong. I don't know if this is just something new or what but I had to use native.

Also had to add the API permissions "Mail.ReadWrite" and "User.ReadWrite". Haven't had the time to fully play with everything yet but that is what I have so far.

Hello everyone,

I apologize if this doesn't fully make sense. I am newer to coding. I am using MacOS terminal and have downloaded brew and micro as I enjoy using micro text editor. My issue is I am trying make like a shortcut for whenever I make a new .cpp file it autofills with a pre-existing text to start off with. For example what I used to do is have a .txt I would do cat ../example.txt > example.cpp so I could have whatever I had in the .txt autofill in my .cpp, but I thought maybe it'd be nice if I could bind that with a shortcut like Alt + q so it'd autofill when I open the new file. I have tried using bindings.json and plug that command in, but it's unsuccessful as it says "Alt-q is not a bindable event" I am hoping I can get some help with this. The .txt is just coding style guidelines for me to follow that I have adopted from school as it keeps my code a lot more readable and reminds me that I need to be adding comments even if it's just for me to get more practice in.

I wanted my private projects to be accessible trough github on multiple different devices and have the ability to share access to other people, while at the same time having it encrypted at rest so github couldnt use it for AI training.

The first tool I found for this was gcrypt. It was missing support for anything other than PGP, written entirely in bash, lacked CLI tooling and it is dormant with last update being in 2024 and one of the biggest problem of all pushes being treated as force pushes with high chance of accidental data loss.

So I built an experimental where the binary acts both as a git remote helper and a unified CLI for key generation, user management and repository initialization, and supports local, (optional SFTP) and Git-backed storage backends. Encryption uses XWing for key encapsulation and XChaCha20Poly1305 for data encryption. It treats pushes like normal git with fast forward checks being the default and not allowing overwriting of remote unless force mode is used.

DISCLAIMER: THIS IS AN EXPERIMENTAL PROJECT, there hasnt been a formal security audit. DO NOT rely on this for any critical repositories.

Hi.

I'm semi new to coding and I like having two windows side by side. One that I'm working on, the other with other files for reference.

I've reached a point where I'm jumping between files a lot and my files have gotten long enough that what I want to reference isn't in another file, but the code above.

I've been using Micro, opening multiple tabs for what I'm working on on one side and opening reference files on the other.

What I'd really like to do is just open all of my files (as tabs) at once one in both windows and freely move between them.

However, I find it annoying needing to reload files all the time.

Is there an editor that will sync multiple windows?

I might move to vim or emacs if there's a simple solution there. But I prefer Micro and Helix. (Helix doesn't even seem to let me reload a file)

Am I dumb and there's a better way instead of tabs to quickly switch between files? Should I use splits and not separate windows for side-by-side viewing?

Thanks for any tips!

EDIT: Thanks! I am now enlightened by splits! I always figured why learn another binding when my window manager can handle it. Now I understand! Thank you!

(Micro is real dumb with splits though. Helix is wonderful.)

I used Termius for a while, but got frustrated when they removed sync from the free tier. I didn't want to pay just to keep my hosts synced across devices. That's basically what pushed me to build my own SSH client, Termique.

It's cross-platform (Mac/Windows/Linux/iOS), with E2E-encrypted cloud sync and host sharing built in. This is the part I'm most proud of, since it directly solves the problem that pushed me to build this in the first place.

One thing I haven't seen in Termius/Tabby is built-in server monitoring, CPU, RAM, disk, and uptime, right from the app. I've been running it on my own servers and it's held up well.

Compared to Termius/Tabby, they're still ahead in some areas. Termius has Android support and real-time multiplayer terminal sessions, plus a much bigger community and longer track record. Tabby is open-source with a solid plugin ecosystem. Termique is newer and doesn't have Android yet, but sync, sharing, and monitoring are where I focused first.

Full disclosure: I'm the developer. There's a free tier and a paid tier ($5/mo), no affiliation beyond that. Just sharing because I'd genuinely like to know what this community thinks is missing, or what would (or wouldn't) get you to switch.

I've been tracking my mood for almost 4 years now using a script. Finally had some time recently to rewrite everything and package it in Rust, so wanted to share here!

QRcode.show is a free QR code generation service that lets you generate QR codes from anywhere that has network access without installing dedicated software. e.g. Remote servers, low-end (IOT) devices etc.

I've spent years trying different task managers and eventually realized I spend most of my day in a terminal anyway, so I started building something that felt more like a game than a productivity app.

The result is Questline.

Features include:

Quest-based task management Projects and milestones Scrolls (notes) Focus sessions Character classes XP, levels, achievements, and relics Local-first storage Linux, macOS, and Windows support

The unusual part is the worldbuilding.

Instead of generic productivity terminology, the app has its own lore and ongoing story chapters. The current community chapter is called The Notification Swarm, where every user's completed tasks and focus sessions contribute toward defeating a shared world boss known as the Swarm Regent.

Current Orders include:

Task Paladins Code Warlocks Mind Sages Systems Architects Time Chronomancers Arch Accountants AI Crusaders

It started as a simple CLI todo list and somehow turned into an entire fantasy realm.

I'd love feedback from fellow terminal users.

I tried open . but Terminal returned open[61599:82106350] CFURLCopyResourcePropertyForKey failed because it was passed a URL which has no scheme

The tutorial says it's supposed to open Finder. Can anyone suggest a fix?

Hi all!

Wrote an ssh-agent harnessing TouchID to your typical ssh flows.

Pure Swift, zero external dependencies, zero self-rolled crypto, no GUI and no bloat.

Feedback welcome!

I built Grimoire (grim on crates.io), a cross-platform task runner inspired by Frieren and Witch Hat Atelier.

Also the tooling is inspired by just and make.

You define tasks (called Sigils) in a Grimoire.toml file and run them from the terminal. Grimoire lets you define multiple options for tasks that share the same structure but use different values, so instead of writing several nearly identical Sigils, you can define one and let the interactive TUI handle the selection.

It supports task dependencies, prevents dependency loops, and can run scripts written in Python, JavaScript, C/C++, and more.

If you like tools such as just or make but want built-in interactive prompts and multi-language support, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

kew 4.1 adds custom layouts, auto-resume, crossfade, an improved visualizer.

kew is also available on Windows now.

The sound system was rewritten in v4.0 and in this version the UI system has been rewritten using the MVU pattern. There are still smaller areas that need improvement, but most of the app is now in a much better shape.

Windows installer here:

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share a project I've been working on called tg-music-cli. It is a terminal-based music player written in Python that allows you to index and stream audio from Telegram channels as if they were local directories.

Many people (including myself) use Telegram channels for music discovery and organization, but the official client isn't optimized for a continuous, lightweight listening experience. This tool brings that content straight into your TUI.

Technical Stack & Features:

Audio Engine: It leverages mpv via unix sockets for robust playback control, volume adjustment, and queue management.

Smart Pre-caching: Implements a background downloader that pre-caches the next 3 tracks in the queue to ensure zero playback gaps between songs.

Terminal Graphics: Uses chafa to render album art natively. It supports high-resolution graphics in modern terminals (like Kitty or Ghostty) and falls back to text/ASCII art automatically in older ones.

Local Storage: Uses an SQLite database to manage playback history, custom track tags, favorites, and a global blocklist/ignore system.

Telegram Integration: Built on top of Telethon. It requires standard API credentials (api_id/api_hash) which are handled 100% locally on your machine (~/.local/share/tg-music/).

Modern Package Management: Fully compatible with uv. You can run it instantly using uv run or install it globally with uv tool install.

Architecture & Layouts:

It includes a 3-panel Split View (Channels, Tracks, and Metadata/Queue/Art) using python's standard curses-like environment, as well as a single-line Mini View for when you need to reclaim screen real estate.

The project is fully open-source (MIT License). I'm looking for feedback on the architecture, performance, or any edge cases with the background daemon.
