shugo/textbringer: An Emacs-like text editor written in Ruby https://github.com/shugo/textbringer

Combines #Emacs and #Ruby -- a great idea :)

It's fun to see and learn from an implementation like this. There are books on the topic, on how you need a window to render to, a buffer to represent the whole content, and this project uses gap buffers as recommended. Nice.

@jbaty I'm too stupid to think of this in advance all the time, so my personal quick fix is to expand-region to select the word, cut it, insert the auto-pairing characters, then paste again. It's stupid :)

Is there a way to override the ~/.gitconfig editor variable so that *only from within Emacs* (eshell) it uses Emacs?

From the terminal outside Emacs, I want the default to be `micro`.

#git #emacs

@aral oooh it even has rather beautiful freehand lines!

@aral That's nice! Custom colors when? :)

@dansup with traditional web dev, you wouldn't need to rewrite it though 🥲

@Gargron gosh that's a lot of fern

@aral Not complaining, just wondering: why [toc] not {toc}? I believe I've seen the latter but not the former

@Gargron Great job, minimalistic and usable!

I'm putting off building something like this for my sketches and paintings for years now. 🤫

@dansup oh no you're 10 years behind the curve that leads back to PHP :D

@dansup love that stunt :)

@dansup If projects stall, users get worried or upset, even entitled. (That's so weird.)

You're right that there's a message in this: people fear momentum is going down.

Thing is: you're not only the core maintainer, you're also the core ideator of stuff. You can't ideate while you maintain.

One solution is to schedule time while trying not to spread yourself too thin.

Another could be to split the work and "hire" unpaid open source maintainers.

Or listen less to complaints :)

@aral I can imagine how things relate to each other by looking for symbol names but this really looks like black magic :)

@pfefferle I'm backing everything related to self-owned online identities! Just like you mentioned, the rel-me and personal website stuff, that does make sense IMHO.

Mastodon verification of domain ownership is a bit superficial on that front. I'd love to have a stronger sense of identity there, and in the Fediverse at large, to tie together accounts.

I don't dislike Gravatar's service there, either. Am using them for ages. I just don't trust in other service's security anymore :)

@pfefferle Gravatar as an OpenID provider sounds like a sensible move for the service. But I'm not sure it's a sensible move for users to centralize "online identity".

So I'm surprised you actually 'heart' the post :) Anything you're particularly excited about?

@pfefferle Oh Gott schon so lang!!

@aral Is it complaining about don’t vs don't ?!

@pfefferle Woow glückwunsch :)

@dansup LGTM 👍

@dansup Great to hear, mate!

It's weird that imposter syndrome plagues everyone, right? Slaying the dragon and shipping things helps as a reality check, but it never goes away.

Steven Pressfield really was onto something when he wrote about the many faces or resistance!
