André Klein @andreklein.net · 08/09/2026Writing drafts in terminal doesn't have to be a hassle. Added some "normie" creature comforts for bold, italic and links to HeloWrite. github.com/burninc0de/helowrite 001
André Klein @andreklein.net · 23/08/2026Native gesture support on Hyprland has gotten so good. I still remember having to fiddle with Fusuma not too long ago. Keybinds can be cumbersome on laptop. Why not key "swipes" for core operations? #hyprland #linux 000
André Klein @andreklein.net · 22/08/2026HeloWrite 0.8.85 updated for Omarchy Quattro theme awareness #linux github.com/burninc0de/helowrite 010
André Klein @andreklein.net · 21/08/2026Dusted off my little hyprland dock and packaged it as fully theme-aware Omarchy plugin: github.com/burninc0de/b... #linux #hyprland 020
André Klein @andreklein.net · 17/08/2026New in epub-moe 1.2.0 - Undo history! Quickly undo/redo any changes made to text or audio fragments in your audio-enhanced EPUB. Keyboard or mouse driven. github.com/burninc0de/epub-moe #epub #indiepub 000
André Klein @andreklein.net · 17/08/2026My new quickshell Lockscreen plugin now has some funky new animations and is published on the #Omarchy marketplace: omarchyplugins.com/plugin.html?id=b… #linux 000
André Klein @andreklein.net · 16/08/2026It's crazy how easy it is on Omarchy Quattro to create custom plugins like this bespoke lock screen for example. #linux #omarchy 010
André Klein @andreklein.net · 15/08/2026Just upgraded to Omarchy Quattro: love what they did with quickshell. No more hyprlock, elephant, walker, waybar etc. Finally threw out a bunch of old PY/QT tray utils and replaced with proper plugins for coretemp, opencode or even my old abraunegg/onedrive monitor. #linux 000
André Klein @andreklein.net · 12/08/2026Finally completed the UI overhaul of epub-moe for v.1.1.0 - integrated design system, modernized buttons and panels, custom themes for the editor #epub #talkingbooks #buildinpublic github.com/burninc0de/epub-moe 020
André Klein @andreklein.net · 12/08/2026Just dropped release 1.0.8 of my EPUB Media Overlay Editor with a UI overhaul, bunch of QoL updates, new settings, etc. Check release notes for details. github.com/burninc0de/epub-moe #epub #smil #indiepub 010
André Klein @andreklein.net · 08/08/2026Ideas are cheap. Focus is hard. Coders figured this out years ago: nothing beats the terminal when you just want to write. So I built a TUI specifically for authors. helowrite v0.8.79 is out: github.com/burninc0de/helowrite #WritingCommunity #Terminal #Linux 010
André Klein @andreklein.net · 25/07/2026lnav is so ridiculously good for digging through raw logs (nginx, syslog, etc.) and make them actually readable! if you need to chain multiple ones, do quick filters, all just a keybind away. It really is the "htop for logs". Can't believe I discovered it only now. #linux 010
André Klein @andreklein.net · 15/07/2026The new Zen mode in jellyfin-tui is sweet, especially when paired with the new accent-color piped into cava: github.com/dhonus/jellyfin-tui #jellyfin #linux 000
André Klein @andreklein.net · 06/07/2026It's a special kind of pain using a DE keyboard, needing non-deadkey backticks constantly for code docs, while also needing regular deadkey accents so I can ... spell my name. Spent the afternoon hacking together a custom XBD layout and now i can switch modes easily. #linux 000
André Klein @andreklein.net · 03/07/2026Combining web-apps with terminals is a vibe: calculating accent color from mpris -> piping straight into cava and clock-rs #hyprland #linux 000
André Klein @andreklein.net · 03/07/2026Since the game is currently free on EPIC, friendly reminder that there is an excellent hint book on archive with a hilarious preface by the man himself, Harlan Ellison: archive.org/details/nomouth-hintbook #pointandclick #adventuregames 010
André Klein @andreklein.net · 26/06/2026Wired up jellyfin-tui to expose its cover-art derived accent-color so I can pipe it straight into cava. Works pretty well! #linux #hyprland #jellyfin github.com/dhonus/jellyfin-tui/pull… 000
André Klein @andreklein.net · 16/06/2026When you find out only two days later that your post was #3 on HackerNews ... server didn't even break a sweat. Guess the caching strategy paid off. 000
André Klein @andreklein.net · 14/06/2026POV: rebooting into the Windows partition because of legacy stuff #linux 010
André Klein @andreklein.net · 08/06/2026Just 're-pasted' my PC. Turns out the 'professional' computer store I bought it from years ago left the factory sticker ON the CPU under the cooler. I’ve been running a literal thermal insulator for half a decade. 000
André Klein @andreklein.net · 06/06/2026Recent performance tweaks greatly improved raw typing responsiveness in HeloWrite. Your terminal emulator's rendering speed or your ability to smash keys are now the only true remaining bottlenecks. #writing #buildinpublic 010
André Klein @andreklein.net · 31/05/2026Waves VSTs are the bane of my existence. Licensing, re-licensing, upsell-licensing. Never just works. #audioproduction 010
André Klein @andreklein.net · 31/05/2026I made a terminal-based cross-posting tool with video and image support for Mastodon, X, Bluesky. Works surprisingly well. Whodathunk? github.com/burninc0de/socialsox-tui #indiedev #tui 020
André Klein @andreklein.net · 31/05/2026Modern JS frameworks be like: "This whole system of yours could be onfire and I couldn’t even turn on the kitchen tap without filling out a 27b/6. Bloody paperwork." 010
André Klein @andreklein.net · 31/05/2026"Gotta reachmaxx," she said. "The algorithm demands sacrifice." Fine. I'll make my offerings from a terminal. The platforms can keep their trackers, popups, and corporate support cookies. 021
André Klein @andreklein.net · 30/05/2026"look mom, no keyboard" - TIL you can map extra mouse buttons as binds for lazy window move/resize in #hyprland #linux 000
André Klein @andreklein.net · 21/05/2026My new book just hit #1 in "Humor in German" on Amazon. To everyone who said Germans have no sense of humor ... we do. It's just a special kind of horror. #indiepub #learngerman 010
André Klein @andreklein.net · 09/05/2026Keep writing with style! HeloWrite now has system-aware theming baked in. Works great in #Omarchy #Hyprland github.com/burninc0de/helowrite 000
André Klein @andreklein.net · 08/05/2026Bustin' a move with this avocado VRM I found. Happy weekend! 000
André Klein @andreklein.net · 08/05/2026Healthy 0.8.7 update to round out the day: theme-aware markdown highlighting, minimal search bar, reorganized tabbed Settings. #writing #tui github.com/burninc0de/helowrite 000
André Klein @andreklein.net · 07/05/2026I started building HeloWrite in KDE/CachyOS. But I think it finally found its natural environment in Omarchy. #linux 020
André Klein @andreklein.net · 07/05/2026Shipped theme-based snippet colorization in #helowrite #writing #buildinpublic 000
André Klein @andreklein.net · 06/05/2026Got protagonists with weird names? Long cumbersome locations or other unwieldy strings that repeat themselves across your paragraphs? Introducing: snippet engine (alpha) #writing #terminal github.com/burninc0de/helowrite/rel… 000
André Klein @andreklein.net · 05/05/2026Wait a second, Copilot will now automatically add itself as co-author to all commits I write in VSCode? Little sneaky bugger! #vscode #copilot 000
André Klein @andreklein.net · 05/05/2026Who needs bloated writing apps? Just bash away in a terminal. Now with (optional) sounds in v0.8.4 github.com/burninc0de/helowrite #writing #tui 010
André Klein @andreklein.net · 04/05/2026Working on a new feature for HeloWrite: TypeWriter Mode - keep cursor pinned to center. #writing #buildinpublic github.com/burninc0de/helowrite 000
André Klein @andreklein.net · 02/05/2026Built a little Obsidian web viewer/editor with #htmx and #alpine - no JS framework bloat, no build step. Python just returns straight HTML (and a tiny bit of json for git sync operations). 000
André Klein @andreklein.net · 01/05/2026Need some new wallpapers to match your Tokyo-Night theme? These are excellent! #ricing #tokyonight github.com/atraxsrc/tokyonight-wall… 000
André Klein @andreklein.net · 01/05/2026Shipped an update to SocialSox with fallback for encrypted creds on minimal DEs like Hyprland/Omarchy that may not have KDE/Gnome wallet managers: github.com/burninc0de/socialsox #indiedev #omarchy #hyprland 010
André Klein @andreklein.net · 29/04/2026Genuinely impressed with how well VoxType works. On HawkPoint GPU-accelerated, whisper-transcription is near-instant. voxtype.io #wayland #voxtype 000
André Klein @andreklein.net · 13/04/2026just making some nice custom covers for the amazing 90s mixes i grabbed off ambiance's channel. www.youtube.com/watch?v=luvNycgEySg #jungle #dnb 000
André Klein @andreklein.net · 10/04/2026new feature: pomodoro focus timer with a nice calling bell from Daitokuji, Kyoto github.com/burninc0de/helowrite #writing #deepfocus #tui (plus reworked command palette and small design tweaks) 000
André Klein @andreklein.net · 08/03/2026Getting RTL (Hebrew, Arabic) annotations in PDF to render correctly on Linux is the end-boss of formatting. All PDF apps reverse the letters. My solution: a simple shell script (via hotkey) to reverse and replace clip-board contents. Such a dirty fix, yet so clean. #pdf #hebrew 000
André Klein @andreklein.net · 01/03/2026Spent the day mucking about with the blazingly fast #nushell which (once you get accustomed to the syntax) makes for a suprisingly suckless terminal workflow on Windows, especially when combined with #starship and #zoxide. 000
André Klein @andreklein.net · 16/02/2026As an indie-publisher of language learning materials, creating bullet-proof glossaries involves a lot of manual labor and tedious cross-refs. Just built a vocab "linter" or "pre-compiler" so I can get early hints about duplicates, lapsed entries, etc. Real game-changer. #indiepub 010
André Klein @andreklein.net · 16/02/2026Too many brave agents ventured into my TUI and got trapped; forever lost to the void. So I wrote them a warning: github.com/burninc0de/helowrite/com… #hicsuntdracones #llm (let's hope they will listen) 000
