Since I decided to go against the DayOne subscription I am going to go back to using jrnl for my electronic journaling. Of course this brings complication to mobile. But I think I’m going with Syncthing and I will write an Android app that posts similar to the native jrnl app.

Been making various cli apps this week, I almost have my Fastmail app ready for release. It does most of the basics all on the command line, building Linux packages for it now.

I’ve been using copilot in VScode mainly. Today I am toying with using it in the terminal instead. Not a big difference really beyond using way less resources.

Back to the full on cli MicroBlog client, it would be terminal dependent if I wanted it to render images and video.. people would have to run certain terminals.

After my last post using mb-cli, I am wondering if I should have it make me proof read before it sends.. or make it an option to turn on forced proof reading. Typos kill me.

I’m pulling the feeble MacOS support from MB-Cli, github could build packages, but I really don’t have a way to test or troubleshoot it. It’s basically Linux only.
