Posting is an API client that runs completely in your terminal - and version 2.6 is out now! It's one of the biggest releases yet, adding the ability to edit headers/query params, compact mode, more autocompletion and much more! github.com/darrenburns/...

Release 2.6.0 - Editing rows, compact mode, header value autocomplete, and more! · darrenburns/posting

This is a pretty huge release. It introduces a bunch of features the community requested, and a bunch they didn't! Edit rows without deleting them 🤯 Finally! You can now edit headers, query params,...

If enabled, you can use env vars in Posting - but this could cause you to leak info if you're streaming for example. By default, there's now a simple substring check on the name of the variable, and if it looks like information you may not want to be public, it'll be hidden from the preview.

While in compact mode, Posting's command palette, theme picker, and request search menus now appear to integrate with the URL bar. The theme selector also takes up minimal space now, allowing you to see more of the theme in action. github.com/darrenburns/... #python #opensource #programming

What is this? An API client for ants?? Compact mode is working nicely with different themes, horizontal mode, and jump mode. I also added a subtle background to indicate which tab has focus-within - something that I lost by hiding tab underlines. #python #opensource

Posting 2.5.3 is out, and reduces launch time by about 60% 🚀 I wrote a bit about it here - including some general Python and Textual tips for diagnosing and improving slow startups: darren.codes/posts/python... #python #programming #OpenSource #software #textual

The `ansi_theme_dark` reactive only affects things if you use ANSI colors in your markup. It's unrelated to *Textual* themes. Textual themes only change the values in the CSS design system variables, like $primary, $accent, $surface, etc. Textual themes will never change the value of `red`.

Darren Burns @darren.bsky.social · 09/03/2025

Yep, if you're just going straight to hex or RGB tuples then there's nothing to think about :) In Textual 1, if you write `red` in markup it gives Monokai-purple-red, unless you do the thing I shared above. In Textual 2, it gives web-color red (255, 0, 0), which happens to match ANSI bright_red.

Darren Burns @darren.bsky.social · 09/03/2025

Ah ok. I was originally thinking something like this (makes it so that red is actually red and not the Monokai purple-red shade). Although on trying it I realised the new Textual 2 markup uses web colours, so "red" now corresponds to ANSI bright_red rather than the Monokai shade.

It may well be different, it’s all a bit fuzzy 😄

Darren Burns @darren.bsky.social · 09/03/2025

I see - I believe that reactive does exactly what you need then if I understand correctly. It’ll map the colour codes (0-15, e.g. ansi_blue) to an RGB value that is unaffected by theme (although you’ll have to set the light & dark reactives). The default maps to Monokai colours because reasons 😆

Darren Burns @darren.bsky.social · 09/03/2025

Did you use `App.ansi_theme_dark` here?

Darren Burns @darren.bsky.social · 07/03/2025

There are a few features in Posting that I really need to advertise more, and I'll be trying to find a home in the docs for more of these. One thing is the ability to easily adapt the UI on the fly. Press ctrl+h to toggle the sidebar, and ctrl+m to expand the focused section

A few weeks back, I shared one of my favourite macOS hidden features: the ability to zoom *way in* on the cursor. I’m curious, are there similar features on Windows or Linux? Or software that can accomplish the same goal? It’s such a boon for front-end work.

Working on Posting again for the first time in a couple of months! Bug fixes and minor (but highly requested) features! It also hit 8k stars today on GitHub ✨

commenting on something happening in some corners of tiktok right now but this is a general observation: it is absolutely brain-breaking how so many people have lost the ability to disagree with someone without denouncing them as ontologically evil or pathological or whatever else

My Atuin wrapped 2024 😄 I think the "Command Evolution" stuff is the wrong way around though. Pretty sure I only started with Atuin a few months ago and never used it in the first half.

Have you tried Outer Wilds? I’m playing it now and it’s been great (mystery/exploration/get in your ship and fly to another planet/fun ship control mechanics/very interesting game mechanic I can’t say without spoiling). Also just Googled and it has a VR mod which is apparently very good 🤔

Bravo 👏 At times I find it tough in plain Python, so props on making visualisations which demonstrate the algorithms so effectively!

Darren Burns @darren.bsky.social · 15/12/2024

That looks very similar to my solution. I used BFS instead of DFS though and it was recursive. I also counted fences during the search in part 1 rather than afterwards. In part 2 my approach for counting sides looks similar to yours 😄

010

Darren Burns @darren.bsky.social · 15/12/2024

This screenshot was just my good-enough for part 1 algorithm. I refactored to just keep a counter of each stone type for part 2 and it was instant enough (38ms) 😄

Darren Burns @darren.bsky.social · 15/12/2024

Thanks - I managed to get it finally 😆 I was having difficulty 'merging' fences into a single edge. I was trying to merge fences into edges as I found them and ended up in a bit of a mess. I ended up doing another pass to count edges after collecting the fences for each region, and it helped lots!

Yup, it seemed easier to reason about for me but I could be wrong! I think internally it defines a class which defines ordering using your comparison function. It seemed like a shortcut way of defining an ordering without creating a wrapper class and implementing dunder comparison methods.
