Michael #1: terminal-tree

An experimental filesystem navigator for the terminal, built with Textual
Tested in macOS only at this point. Chances are very high it works on Linux. Slightly lower chance (but non-zero) that it works on Windows.
- Can confirm it works on Linux

Brian #2: posting: The API client that lives in your terminal

Also uses Textual
From Darren Burns
Interesting that the installation instructions recommends using uv:
- uv tool install --python 3.12 posting
Very cool. Great docs. Beautiful. keyboard centric, but also usable with a mouse.
“Fly through your API workflow with an approachable yet powerful keyboard-centric interface. Run it locally or over SSH on remote machines and containers. Save your requests in a readable and version-control friendly format.”
Able to save multiple environments
Great colors
Allows scripting to run Python code before and after requests to prepare headers, set variables, etc.

Trying out Zen Browser
- Wasn’t a fan of Arc (especially now) but the news turned me on to Zen

Brian #4: UV does everything or enough that I'm not sure what else it needs to do

Jeff Triplett
“UV feels like one of those old infomercials where it solves everything, which is where we have landed in the Python world.”
“My favorite feature is that UV can now bootstrap a project to run on a machine that does not previously have Python installed, along with installing any packages your application might require.”
Partial list (see Jeff’s post for his complete list)
- uv pip install replaces pip install
- uv venv replaces python -m venv
- uv run, uv tool run, and uv tool install replaces pipx
- uv build - Build your Python package for pypi
- uv publish - Upload your Python package to pypi, replacing twine and flit publish

Extras

Brian:

Coverage.py originally was just one file
Trying out BlueSky brianokken.bsky.social
- Not because of Taylor Swift, but nice.
- There are a lot of Python people there.
