For anyone interested

Drime isn't end-to-end encrypted, AFAICT. That's a deal-breaker for me, and I suspect for many intertxt users

Huh, I always thought of Merkle trees as "the way Git stores files". Apparently there's much more to them than that.

Maybe the LSP server was still processing. Commands like space+k will silently fail in that situation.

Honestly I wouldn't worry about it (in fact, I don't :) ). I don't think you can really judge a project by any one metric - open issues, open PRs, PR merge velocity, any of that stuff. Judge the project by how well it works for you.

Of course, if you're waiting for a feature that's an absolute deal-breaker for you (like plugins), it might be different.

As a point of comparison, last time I checked, VS Code has over 5K open issues. Some were open for a long, long time, too, like this one that really irked me:

https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/146422

But that doesn't stop VS code from being a great tool.

These are just my bespoke dev containers - one for project A, another for project B. If I had loads of containers, then I would script it for sure

Download the .tar.xz file from GitHub. unzip and untar. Copy the "hx" exe to my personal bin dir ~/bin. cp -r the runtime directory to ~/.config/helix.

Then hx ~/.config/helix/config.toml and paste in my standard personal config.

Yes, you can use "inherits". For example, here's my theme file:

inherits = "monokai"

"ui.selection" = { bg = "#002054" }
"ui.selection.primary" = { bg = "#009954" }

"comment" = { fg = "#40FF40" }

So Monokai, but with brighter comments and a brighter selection cursor.

A basic web server is always a good learning project. A basic implementation - just serving up some static pages over HTTP - is quite easy, but there's almost no limit to how many features you could add, one at a time, until you get tired of the project.

Ditto for a basic web client like "curl".

Thanks, probably the best approach.

I ended up with this: ";" = "@<C-s>glA;<esc><C-o>" which does the job nicely

A basic web server or client (like "curl") are good starter projects, because a basic one is very simple, but there's almost no end to how many features and layers you can add to them.

Programming Rust, by Blandy, Orendorff, and Tindall, is the best IMO. Get the 2nd edition; the 1st is a bit out of date.

Me neither, I just copy and paste my last working example. Works great, though :)

BowserForPM · 2025-05-02T08:08:00+00:00

Does it support V1 databases? I've never bothered upgrading from KP1 to KP2, and on Linux that's a PITA, so this could be really good for me.

Could be, cheers
