The fact he was testing a parachute would suggest he was well aware of the consequences.

Guess it’s time to finally type this out again: https://www.davep.org/misc/grid-bike/

There’s a great VR mod for Portal 2. Played it all the way through. Surprisingly comfortable to play too.

I wanted to move my bookmarking history out of Pinboard and into Raindrop, but Raindrop's importer doesn't retain the public/private or unread status of pins. So I wrote an importe…

Those positions were filled and then subsequently removed: https://blog.davep.org/2024/03/28/goodbye-textualize.html#go...

Can’t even view the app information in the app store as it’s “not available in your region”. Perhaps the website could be clear about what regions it is available in?

Most welcome. And thanks for alerting me to the oversight.

I've just made the first "proper" release of a tool I've been wanting to work on for a while now. As a long-time user of Pinboard I've been wanting to build a terminal-based client…

I've been using a "command palette" in the same app since the mid 90s, on lots of different operating systems, and I've never really found that it's a lazy way to make commands ava…

I get that this can be annoying (as someone who maintains code written using Textual, I very much get it), but while we're still 0.x we are making the most of being able to steer i…

I was more of a qedit fan myself (later TSE), but yeah they were good days. If you want a real blast from that past, there's even still an archived version of The Oasis kicking abo…

I spent most of the 90s writing Clipper code, used to hang out in comp.lang.clipper lots too. Do still sort of miss it. https://harbour.github.io/ does exist, although it’s a long …

It supports normal Markdown links right now. As an Obsidian user I have been thinking wikilinks would be nice to add too. No firm plans but something I’d like to add.

I did add some vim-friendly bindings for switching the navigation panes on the left, but thinking about it not for the main viewer. Feels like an oversight now, good call. I’ll add…

Are you, perhaps, conflating Britain and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland? There’s a potential upcoming referendum about the latter, not the former.

We are having fun, for sure. And I suspect we’re making coding for the terminal just a wee bit more accessible for some. With Python and Textual folk can spin up a good looking app…

This sort of thing is on the development roadmap. Also, some people have been building their own version of this with Textual already. Few days ago someone was showing off a Textua…

Aye, that’ll be it then. The docs went live towards the end of October, with the release of 0.2.0 (which was a huge change over 0.1, adding the whole CSS approach). If you do decid…

How long ago did you check the documentation? As of October this year the first full set of docs were published, with more to come: https://textual.textualize.io/

I mean, nice idea, but I'm a 55 year old Emacs user and I work on Textual.

Hey HN! I've been having a play with the idea of building a Python AST viewer that can be used in the terminal. It's very early days yet, but the basic approach is now available fo…

Hey all! This is OIDIA, a terminal-based streak tracker I'm toying with. It's still fairly early days, but in terms of look and feel and working I think this is about where I want …

Yes, when a Textual app is running it takes over the terminal. But Textual is built on Rich, which doesn't. So you could use Rich to handle your batch display and Textual for when …

I'm going to guess folk with this issue are leaving off the protocol. Look at the `Location` header you get back if you've asked to shorten example.com (which displays this issue) …
