Currently going through this lol. React is pain in general, but React that I’VE written is a crime against humanity

Yeah it’s one or the other unfortunately

Link and maybe an image to give us an idea of what it’s like?

Never truly explored configuring git, only had a couple of the options mentioned so this was very nice, thanks

Personally I like plain markdown files, using zk + zk-nvim + git.

If anyone else uses a similar setup, any good git + markdown setups for mobile? Primarily for reading, as I can’t see myself writing much on a mobile keyboard

Realised I never responded to this - I’ll hold the L on that reasoning, didn’t think that through. I grant that you may be right about the stars, but I’m still doubtful due to my anecdotal experience of seeing a lot of activity around the repo + discord server from 4k stars to over 10k (while I was following it semi-closely). Entirely possible though, of course.

Lot of great recommendations so far, but I will mention some of my favourites in case they were missed in the other comments: hyprland for a Wayland compositor / window manager, so you can easily set up keybinds for whatever you want, rofi for launching programs (and much more, I even made rofi-games so I can launch all my games from one place), and yazi for the file manager (use a lot of TUIs in general though).

You CAN go more extreme with the no mouse journey by using something like qutebrowser as your browser but I just use Firefox/librewolf with vimium c and find that’s good enough for me.

Very, very clean

To be fair this is a terminal file manager… only a certain kind of person will be interested in the first place, and those people are likely to be more inclined to leave a star on GitHub.

Personally I believe the stars were achieved naturally but of course there’s no way to know and it never hurts to be skeptical.

Other people have given great reasons, but I will also mention that as someone who lives inside the terminal it’s often faster and easier to open it right there rather than getting a GUI one going. I do still use one for things that are easier to do with a graphical file manager though, no problem having both

That’s because it works very well, and the main developer is super active (I’ve contributed and made some plugins so have interacted with them a fair bit)

I mainly use it inside neovim actually, in place of the built in file manager or a file tree. Also use it if I want to quickly see the image files in a directory (it shows the images in the terminal), or rename a bunch of files. And then rarely for other file related activities as it makes exploring a directory very smooth

Fair play with taking the time to learn nix, currently tinkering with it and this stuff is no joke. Wish it wasn’t a DSL

Thanks!

Np hope you get as much use out of it as I do

Awesome, hope you like it (and it works lol). It’s easy to install on Arch as I created an AUR package but a bit more involved for other distros, as you’ll need to clone the repo and use just to install. I should probably look into releases with the plugin file already compiled…

Yeah good idea, might cross post to !linux_gaming@lemmy.world

Link should be set on the post now

Edit: I understand now - can’t have the image AND a link - moved the link to the body of the post to keep the image

No sorry - looks like the link didn’t get set. It’s at https://github.com/Rolv-Apneseth/rofi-games

It was, in fact, just roasting itself
