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.

Ah ok. I was originally thinking something like this (makes it so that red is actually red and not the Monokai purple-red shade).
Although on trying it I realised the new Textual 2 markup uses web colours, so "red" now corresponds to ANSI bright_red rather than the Monokai shade.

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

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.

To make it easier to design themes, Posting 2.3 will feature live editing. If you edit a theme on disk, the UI will update immediately, giving you realtime feedback!

Restored "theme previews" - highlight a theme and the UI will update to preview it without actually having to switch to it. Similar to VS Code.
I think this was the last thing that needed updating for this release. A few unrelated bug fixes hopefully, then releasing Posting 2.2.

Small jump nav design improvements - previously the keys overlapped the target. Now they sit above and have some padding.

Preparing Posting (my HTTP client terminal app) to use Textual's upcoming theme system. I'm delighted with how it's looking so far 🤩
