A quick peek at my Fastmail terminal app.

I think I may start building apps around syncthing, its the best way to sync without haveing a server. I love the idea of having to not rely on cloud infrastructure.

Syncthing may be one of the most wonderful technical creations ever.

my mind is out of control today, now I’m pondering a combination Android podcast app with a companion Linux cli app that sync everything via a shared Syncthing folder…. like I have the time..lol

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.

So, my Fastmail cli client seems to work ok for me. Its at a point people should play with it an give feature requests because I’m running out of ideas. I have packages for deb, rpm, and arch distros. #linux

I almost subscribed to DayOne, I really liked it’s integration with MicroBlog. But I pay for so many services already, when will it stop?

Watched: Frankenstein 🍿 this was so much better than I expected.

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.

This month changed up a bit.

If you were viewing email in a terminal, would you still want the three pane view? Or jump around to different full page views?

I’m having all these evil thoughts today, what if I made a cli client for Fastmail?
January 15, 2026 at 4:49 PM
I made a cli version of Autonomix that honestly works much better than the GUI version, I think I will just focus on the cli version and archive the gui one.

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 am in this build cli/tui app mode since installing Omarchy. I’m new thinking of a full blown MicroBlog terminal client.

This is a little crazy, Crucial has always been my goto for memory.

Currently I have fastmail, Hey!, Gmail, and Proton accounts for email. I think I’m going to try to consolidate to Hey! and Gmail only.

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.
January 14, 2026 at 12:19 AM
It’s the day of many cli-tools, so much easier when there is no Gui to create. Here is a quicky I made to post to my DayOne Journal from the cli, it uses your Gmail account to post over email. github.com/timappled…

Omarchy has Voxbox installed which allows me to do voice dictation so, I’m actually trying it out on the command line to see if I can do this micro-blog post.

This is just a test
