Writing 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

Native 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

Dusted off my little hyprland dock and packaged it as fully theme-aware Omarchy plugin: github.com/burninc0de/b... #linux #hyprland

My new quickshell Lockscreen plugin now has some funky new animations and is published on the #Omarchy marketplace: omarchyplugins.com/plugin.html?id=b… #linux

It's crazy how easy it is on Omarchy Quattro to create custom plugins like this bespoke lock screen for example. #linux #omarchy

Just 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

Finally 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

Just 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

Ideas 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

lnav 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

The 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

It'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

André Klein @andreklein.net · 03/07/2026
Combining web-apps with terminals is a vibe: calculating accent color from mpris -> piping straight into cava and clock-rs #hyprland #linux

Since 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

Wired 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…

When 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.

Just '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.

Recent 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

Modern 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."

"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.

My 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

Keep writing with style! HeloWrite now has system-aware theming baked in. Works great in #Omarchy #Hyprland github.com/burninc0de/helowrite

Healthy 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

I started building HeloWrite in KDE/CachyOS. But I think it finally found its natural environment in Omarchy. #linux

Built 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).

Getting 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

Spent 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.

As 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

Too 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)
