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.

#python #opensource

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! 🔒

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.

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

All JSON syntax highlighting derives from the app theme too 🎨

Looking forward to this new feature in Posting... paste a curl command into the URL bar and it immediately fills out all fields for you! 🪄
