Posting is an API client that runs completely in your terminal - and version 2.6 is out now!

It's one of the biggest releases yet, adding the ability to edit headers/query params, compact mode, more autocompletion and much more!

Release 2.6.0 - Editing rows, compact mode, header value autocomplete, and more! · darrenburns/posting
This is a pretty huge release. It introduces a bunch of features the community requested, and a bunch they didn't! Edit rows without deleting them 🤯 Finally! You can now edit headers, query params,...

If enabled, you can use env vars in Posting - but this could cause you to leak info if you're streaming for example.

By default, there's now a simple substring check on the name of the variable, and if it looks like information you may not want to be public, it'll be hidden from the preview.

While in compact mode, Posting's command palette, theme picker, and request search menus now appear to integrate with the URL bar.

The theme selector also takes up minimal space now, allowing you to see more of the theme in action.

What is this? An API client for ants??

Compact mode is working nicely with different themes, horizontal mode, and jump mode.

I also added a subtle background to indicate which tab has focus-within - something that I lost by hiding tab underlines.

My sweet Summer child... did you think you were safe from the AI chatbot assistants after booting up that video game world?

Posting 2.5.3 is out, and reduces launch time by about 60% 🚀

I wrote a bit about it here - including some general Python and Textual tips for diagnosing and improving slow startups:

There are a few features in Posting that I really need to advertise more, and I'll be trying to find a home in the docs for more of these.

One thing is the ability to easily adapt the UI on the fly. Press ctrl+h to toggle the sidebar, and ctrl+m to expand the focused section

Posting 2.5 is out now, and adds support for bearer token auth thanks to another external contribution! 🔒

A few weeks back, I shared one of my favourite macOS hidden features: the ability to zoom *way in* on the cursor.

I’m curious, are there similar features on Windows or Linux? Or software that can accomplish the same goal?

It’s such a boon for front-end work.

The ability to quickly jump between requests by pressing a ctrl+shift+p (configurable)...

A fantastic community contribution landing in the next version of Posting: enabling and disabling rows in tables.

Working on Posting again for the first time in a couple of months! Bug fixes and minor (but highly requested) features!

It also hit 8k stars today on GitHub ✨

Angertainment is a great way to describe the emotional experience most social media platforms are optimizing for.

commenting on something happening in some corners of tiktok right now but this is a general observation: it is absolutely brain-breaking how so many people have lost the ability to disagree with someone without denouncing them as ontologically evil or pathological or whatever else

My Atuin wrapped 2024 😄

I think the "Command Evolution" stuff is the wrong way around though. Pretty sure I only started with Atuin a few months ago and never used it in the first half.
