Are you sure you want glibc statically linked into your go executable ?
glibc won't be used at all. With Go on Linux libc is only needed when the libc DNS resolver is used (instead of Go's built-in one) or if C libraries are used. superfile doesn't need either of these so it's very simple to build it as a pure Go executable which will be statically linked and contain no C code at all.

Where does Obsidian claim they’re open source? Where have they ever done that? And no, having a GitHub icon does not magically announce to the world “we are open source”. In fact, their license page makes it abundantly clear they are not open source: > We own and reserve rights to our content, including text, images, and code in the app, which is protected by copyright and other laws. https://obsidian.md/license I ge…
It may not be Obsidian's fault, but I know people who were indeed surprised. And are you suggesting that people normally click the license page?

As my comment says, I am suggesting that they explicitly say they are not open source. It’s not like that’s featured front and center on literally any other product’s front page, so I’m not sure what exactly your expectations are here. Do you want them to have in 100pt font “WE ARE CLOSED SOURCE!!!” plastered across every page? Would that be enough?

That's pretty bad for a terminal utility and file manager. The thing should never, ever connect to the internet for anything unless explicitly told to by the user. I didn't notice this, thanks for pointing it out.
Why is that the standard for a terminal utility and not GUI software? Why do we accept GUI software that does update checks and phone-home telemetry without configuration or consent? I’m really curious about this, not to derail the thread.
I think it should be the standard, but fact is most computer users are entertainment consumers and their computing devices are just a new and improved TV. It doesn't even occur to them to ask what's going on, hence the ubiquity of proprietary spyware. With TUIs and other nerdy stuff like that, the userbase is generally going to give a shit more, hence the higher standard.

It’s the animations for me. I know it sounds crazy but I am a little bit angry every time I notice an action that is measurably slower than it needs to be because some “UX designer” (should not even be a job based on the BS I’ve seen) needed to justify his salary by blocking the UI process with a whiz-bang animation. Especially an action I have to do many times in a row, or all day long. I wish I could set the iOS gl…
>“UX designer” (should not even be a job based on the BS I’ve seen) UX design is a real and valuable discipline, but it has been largely supplanted by what amounts to a fashion show.

Mac OS itself confuses things by forcing apps to be full screen, rather than sizing to the content
You can option click the green button, but I agree, one of the major regressions from Lion, IIRC, that we haven’t recovered from yet.
"You can go to the latest release and download the binary file. Once it is downloaded please excrate the file after that enter the following in your terminal:" Is excrate some new jargon meaning to take something out of a crate? Or just a boring typo for extract?
Just typo..

So if they at no point claim they’re open source… what, exactly, is your critique of them? That they built a product that is so good it could conceivably be open source but isn’t? > And are you suggesting that people normally click the license page?

brew install superfile (ok) superfile (not found) find superfile (not sound) cd /usr/local/Cellar/superfile/1.1.2/bin ls spf This is mentioned in the tutorial but it's probably worth mentioning in the install section to save people 5-10 minutes of confusion. Once I found the filename I loved it.

ok i'm a bit late to this post but can you explain why you use a terminal file manager UI? I've never found myself using these except very early in my computing career before I knew the DOS copy commands to use.
