I’ve tried it out before. Not that useful for me
It’s one thing if it’s useful and another thing if it’s funny
It may be useful for longer commands that you don’t use often, for things you use all the time you use the arrow keys and auto complete anyway, at least I do 
But funny it is definitely
An app that corrects errors in previous console commands… it reminds me of this 
tar tvf disarm.goddamit
That ought to do it. No google or any LLM was used in creating this command
Hopefully there’s no badwordfilter. Hit [Enter], and good luck for us all. 
Or just tar --help
Not my video obviously, but I found several really cool applications from this:
After a year or so with the micro editor I rediscovered the fresh editor for me.
Terminal editor with very good mouse integration, intuitive key bindings and themes.
The AUR has fresh-editor package to compile it by yourself or fresh-editor-bin for the ready to go binaries.
I use neovim with a config called astronvim. This looks interesting, I have to check it out.
I standardized on fresh editor. It earned its alias, fe="fresh "
That video has been published a day ago and includes a recommendation to the BlueFerry application that is by itself less than a week old. Obviously still in development, no packaging available yet. Only the repo.
Other than that, nothing new - only some alternatives LocalSend vs. KDEConnect vs. Valent, which is a GNOME compatible implementation of KDEConnect. Superfile might be nice - but won’t replace yazi LACT is already in use and the rest he mentioned didn’t interest me.
Anyway. It’s just the oddity that this content creator decided to promote an application that essentially is in an alpha stage or just a proof of concept. That being said, I personally wouldn’t recommend something that early. Might be worth a look further down the road, eventually.
No, Fe is iron. And Rust is Fe2O3.
Anyway, just kidding. That one truly might be worth a look. Thanks for sharing @mbod !
Well it isn’t exactly a new application discovery,
but a new upcoming feature addition to kitty. As kitty already is a GPU accelerated terminal, there will be the addition of custom shaders.
They can transform the final image any way you like — animated backgrounds, mouse effects, cursor trails, retro screen filters, window-focus highlights, you name it.
Several shaders (will) ship with kitty out of the box; you can also write your own.
# kitty.conf
custom_shaders northern-lights
At the moment, the feature would be only accessible by building from the master locally or via installation of kitty nightly, which isn’t packaged for Arch, as far as I can tell.
But could be installed via curl and passing the nightly option to the installer.
Check the first link to the github issues, there are some examples shown. Addressing several uses such as background animations, cursor trails, mouse effects and navigation effects - such as dimming inactive kitty panes or highlighting the active ones.
I will wait until it’s packaged and may tinker with it once it is released. As I’m uncertain if this will benefit my uses. I won’t need background animations.
But I’m pretty much certain that some sophisticated shaders will come into existence that are context specific.
In short, it only catches my attention because back in the day I did some GLSL programming myself. And this may open up a different graphic layer within Kitty that could be utilized to augment the terminal and TUI applications eventually. Without the usual restrictions.
Cannot get this to work, I have the git version installed, but slangc error messages - have you got it working?
OK:
sudo cp ~/.local/kitty.app/bin/slangc /usr/bin/slangc
sudo cp ~/.local/kitty.app/lib/libslang-compiler.so.0.0.0.0 /usr/lib/
after installing with curl, northern-lights not working, but inside the matrix works.
Initial launch takes 10+ seconds and screws my Emacs (in terminal) big style 
Think it is because of the transparency I set.
Came across Linux Scoop. They installed a nice little Dock called Punchi Dock. Don’t need it but maybe for one of you
Linecast draws weather forecasts, Weather radar as well as moon phases, sunshine as well as maps directly within the terminal. Not that old as a project by itself but already looks very promising.
It’s available a the package linecast within the AUR already.
I’m currently tinkering around with it a little to achieve a view that combines its various standalone view modes (weather, sunshine, tides, radar) into a dedicated kitty window pane that bundles them into a single view.

Is this only for GitHub?
Can it work with Codeberg or other git-related packages/services?
Just did a search for it with Pacman.
It says “Git repository summary on your terminal”.
Should work with anything. Will try it.
Confirmed. It works for my Codeberg folder as well.

Great helper for games that does not have pause! Only limitation is that game must run wayland version of Proton, but it is not really issue since it is just one flag on Steam.
In Niri I use this oneliner to detect focused window:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
wl-freeze -c “niri msg --json focused-window | jq ‘.pid’”
anyone using this ?
