I'm still looking forward to being able to only remember a command for a specific time. I currently block sensitive commands, which completely destroys the ability to just press the up arrow key to quickly edit the command. If we had like a timeout of 1 minute for sensitive commands, we could edit them and still make sure they are not persistent

Yep, out of precaution i've never used their sync infrastructure, which I guess was reasonably cheap to run, but the moment you add LLMs to the mix it is obvious that they are in for the free VC money and are soon going to need a lot of investment to keep the lights on.
The thing I found frustrating was I wanted to merge changes with just files without their sync server (i.e. just import this other atuin sqlite dB) so I raised a PR to support that. They closed it (which is fine) but there is no offline migrate alternative. It's a shame, and fair enough, their project, but I don't think my wishes and the projects are very aligned. I keep half meaning to move back to zsh-histdb (I thi…
If it helps, you can copy the history table from one db to another in 3 simple lines of sqlite. I’ve done it myself a few times with zero fuss.
Hmm might be great for some. I’m a Unix philosophy guy, one tool for one job. So far atuin was fine to be a better search history. Now it might be time to look for simpler alternative. Any suggestions? (I’m on zsh)

It’s optional- you can choose to opt in or not.
That's a poor argument that doesn't change the fact that any feature requires maintenance time and effort which for some users could be better invested in features they actually use, in improving overall stability, reliability, performance, etc. The more such unused features a product has, the less relevant it is for those users. The question is, was adding "AI" to this product requested by most users, or was it done…
There's also a very weak souled scarcity mentality. It feels like you are working to take umbrage, to come up with outrage. Some users do find these features good and useful. That should be celebrated. Demanding features not be present? That's so condescending.

I have to ask -- why? Atuin has not gotten any worse at its core history search functionality. All of the new features are entirely opt-in. Why switch?

I tried atuin and then switched back to fzf[0]. It's less features but that's not necessarily a negative. [0] https://github.com/junegunn/fzf

It's open source software, so this attitude of "the work hours have to be spent how I want them to be spent" feels rather icky to me. There's also a very weak souled scarcity mentality.

Besides, VC-funded OSS often prioritizes the needs of its shareholders rather than its users. If you find these features useful, that's great. But there's no reason that they should be universally celebrated. The authors might want to listen to all viewpoints.
The PTY proxy looks pretty neat! Excited to give that a try. Losing some of the scrollback was a minor nuisance that I kind of lived with until now.

Hopefully there is a workaround for this (I'm using then Ghostty emulator).
