$ spf spf: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by spf) spf: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.32' not found (required by spf) I'm on Linux Mint 19

Your version of glibc is too old. Mint 19 is based off Ubuntu 18.04, which ships glibc 2.27, whereas this binary seems to require symbol versions first shipped in glibc 2.34.

You'll have to compile from source, or update your distro to a maintained version. Ubuntu 22.04 ships glibc 2.35, and so Mint 21 should work.

Mostly commenting because while this isn't really a tech support channel, being able to identify glibc version mismatch errors comes up extremely often, even in this day and age.

gorgeous!! did you build the ui yourself or did you use a package to help? how did that go?

Seems like they're using Bubble Tea, a Terminal UI framework for Go. I've heard very good things about it and have been meaning to check it out.

Love all the terminal tooling that's come out in recent years. I'm this close to chrome and rofi being the only gui I'm using on my work machine. This looks great!

This program is available for multiple platforms, not just linux. Anyway, many people prefer keyboard navigation and already have a shell open for other tasks. Navigation by keyboard alone is not generally a feature in most GUI applications (see things like Vimium to add that capability to Chrome, for instance).

Tried it out for a minute and it crashed because I had a broken recursive symlink in my home directory: 1. Create a recursive symlink to itself: `ln -s test test` 2. open superfile and navigate to it. 3. Observe crash

Hey, thanks for the report, I fixed it!

No, fix the issue and open a PR. This is a personal project. They need contributions, not a pile of discouraging issue reports for which they'll never have enough time.

No, I'll raise an issue. Someone who actually knows Go can work on it.

I don't have to be a doctor to know something is wrong in my body, but I would have to be a doctor to fix it. Put another way: just because you figured out something is wrong does not mean you have the ability to fix it.

Keyboards are often faster than mice.

That's too much generalization. I like skeuomorphic GUI with proper shadows, separators, color gradients, 2.5D borders, menus, etc. Nobody is offering those these days, so I gravitated towards TUI; I also have a lot of nostalgia for the DOS days, and although terminal emulation is worse than a proper command line, I make do.
