i'm working on this as a browser extension. to get my feet wet i created Yet Another Speed Dial (https://github.com/conceptualspace/yet-another-speed-dial) which many people find useful, but the end goal is to apply the same kind of richness to all bookmarks and history


as the nazi minister of propaganda once said, "truth is the foundation of the press, and all we ask of it!"


ah i could have used this. my readme is a simulation of a github profile ;)

Cool idea, although with the new Dark mode on Github enabled it was very easy to see what is going on :)


Freezes mobile GH app on Android.


This pleases me more than it should! Cool stuff! :o)


to me the most underrated thing i miss on Linux compared to mac is the file manager. I'm trying to get nnn setup efficiently but the out of the box options feel incredibly half baked in comparison to finder


Can you please elaborate what you mean by "half baked"? nnn has macOS users and I believe the number is picking up given we are getting more bug reports from macOS users recently. Knowing macOS users, we can consider polishing some crude corners if the problem statement seems reasonable.


the comment was directed towards the default file managers, nautilus etc, not nnn. i love nnn! keep up the good work!


to elaborate on my experience with the others, generally they are slow or have poor ux for common tasks like search or rename, lack a decent content view (thumbnails), etc


Yes, as a user I feel nnn was extremely disruptive as a FM. As the author I see at least 7 to 8 FMs drawing inspiration from it, which is a very positive testimony.


Got it! Thanks for clarifying.


I recommend Nemo. If on Ubuntu, follow this guide:

Finder has no "open in terminal" option - into the trash it goes


Drag and drop will do


that's always irked me about one of the common arguments against permanent DST -- "without DST kids would be going to school in the dark" (instead of coming home in the dark). i mean obviously the clock is the problem


I too struggle to understand this kind of thinking. Our society says bullshit like, "Kids are our greatest resource!" but we know that's pure horseshit because if it was true, we'd rearrange our lives and society around them. We don't.
