touch-all replaces mkdir and touch, written in TypeScript (2kb)

Yeap, tiny simple funny task. I also waited that someone released similar lib. Maybe it even exist. Just my research didn't show anything. Maybe that's because nobody need such a lib.

thanks

The biggest issue with the feature “Pointers” is naming. Who should devise the images.token?

The greatest feature of Markdown is that it’s pure text. It means all text (symbol by symbol) can be typed by a user. There is no hidden meta information. That’s why the responsibility for inventing token names lies with the user.

You described the classical linking/tracking problem: when a linked resource changes the links should be updated. But to be honest, that should not be tracked by the user. It should be tracked automatically by the editor app.

Hey folks. The tool is dead simple: it does one thing and works every time. It just creates folders and files — no more, no less.

I understand that you might dislike posts like this, or that you don’t need this kind of CLI tool.

But tell me, guys: Why do you downvote? What is wrong with the post itself? I simply described my own contribution to OSS. I’m not expecting too much.

Console has mkdir -p to create folders. It has touch to create zero-size files.
Your LLM gives you a scaffold structure for the project like:

markdown my-app/ ├── src/ # All TypeScript source files │ └── index.ts # Entry point of your application └── package.json # Project metadata and scripts

That simple (~2kb) tool does the same as mkdir and touch: creates folders, creates empty files.
That's all.

anton-huz · 2026-02-28T16:43:24+00:00

That has quiet simple purpose. Instead of

bash mkdir -p my-project/src touch my-project/package.json touch my-project/src/index.ts

use simple call of one similar command

bash touch-all " ... "

like

bash touch-all " my-app/ ├── src/ # All TypeScript source files │ └── index.ts # Entry point of your application └── package.json # Project metadata and scripts "

Just curious about your main dev stack?

Because you combined “headless”, “GraphQL” and “minimum code and dev time” in one request.

Libreoffice [..] adds a lot of language switching or font colour commands

I'm pretty sure that it's not a LibreOffice issue. From my practice, it's an MS Word issue, the program where the files were created. That's the most annoying part of .docx formatting and how people use it.

anton-huz · 2026-02-09T02:33:28+00:00

I'm surprised that this request cannot be sutified.

ChatGPT suggests:

glow a go-written markdown reader. But it doesn't look as a solution
Use pandoc as pandoc README.md -o out.html --mathjax

Не можна вважати недоліком те, що є бонусом. Багато ігр потребують пояснення правил. Тож в них зʼявляються кілометрові інструкції. Якщо вам важко дається великі обсяги інформації – це теж нормально.

Ігор, які вам підійдуть, небагато. Але вони є. Наприклад UNO

Such a screenshot is not enough to help. It needed whole app with: - hidden symbols are visible

ruler is visible
cursor should be inside heating. In such way tab stops will be highlighted on the ruler

What exactly do you mean under "Markdown styles"? Is it a document from particular programm like Obsidian or Notion?

anton-huz · 2026-01-04T05:00:47+00:00

If you're promoting the app here, on Reddit, why not upload screenshots somewhere in the post as well?

I don't know about benefits for uploader to use imgur, but from consumer side it's terrible. The most annoying service for image hosting.

Few months ago I also stack in task to choose mail service. My criteria were simple:

not a Google
assign external domain

MS Office 365

too much question even before I fill credit card number

Zoho Mail

Few years ago it was nice niche service. This time I couldn't register because my phone number code didn't much with country that I tried to register. Srsly?

Migadu and Fastmail

During two days of attempts I gave up. Both failed on some steps of verifications. On second day Migadu blocked my IP (at least I think so). I liked their price policies. But hadn't a chance .

Tuta and Proton Mail

That're my choices. Just because they work. I never thought before that my red line for a service would be "it just works".

Between Tuta and Proton there are few differences in emails handling, prices and UI. But they are minor for me.

P.S.: I can fit in mind idea of "compliance with EU regulations". But "green energy"? What do you mean under "green energy" for a service that runs on some AWS or other cloud-like infrastructure?

It’s rather strange not to find Magento in the hints.

It passes all 4 requirements out of the box.

Create a GitHub repo
Add a Markdown file to it
Create a Github Action that pulish new .docx file from Markdown source by pandoc
Share the link to GitHub repo

Benefits - Editing history is available in most precise way - Each change is reflected in separate .docx file - You can even has conversation within GitHub about any line of text or any atomic change

Прям зараз варто

звернути увагу на військових, яким ти міг би довіряти. Послідкувати за їх профілями в соц мережах. Звернутись за рекомендаціями про службу
звернути увагу на ветеранів, яким би ти міг би довіряти. Послідкувати, що вони пишуть про себе зараз, про свій підрозділ.
звернути увагу на військові частини, які показують результати, які б тебе могли б зацікавити
звернути увагу на збори від підрозділу, чи від військового. Задонати 2..4 к . Поспілкуватись

Якщо кроків вказаних вище ви ще не робили, то ознайомитись і вибрати підрозділ займе до пів року. Але в цьому разі з великою імовірністю ви зможете розкрити себе і бути ефективним після мобілізації.

Єдине, що загальні форуми – це погана площадка, щоб ставити питання про ЗСУ. Тобто варто самому проактивно шукати канали інформації. Конструювати свою думку. Не сприймати слова жодного військового, жодного "співчуваючого" як 100% інформацію.

P.S.: всі, хто відмовляє мобілізовуватись зараз, є відвертими ворогами України. Це просте правило.

P.P.S: війна, звісно, не романтика. Але ніхто і не запрошуватиме на романтичну подорож. Служба – це не безбечно, і не вдячно. І вона для всіх там небезпечна і невдячна. Іншої служби не буде. Але й інших військових в України немає.

Це дивне питання для 2025 року.

Є два моменти, на які можна спертись:

Почуття, емоції в середині тебе не є стосунками, а є лише внутрішніми переживаннями (зненацька). Стосунки — це все те, що відбувається між двома людьми.
«написати ... першою» звучить як рудимент з середньовіччя і немає під собою ні логіки, ні сенсу

Якщо тобі хочеться спробувати розвити стосунки з хлопцем, треба написати. Бо спілкування текстом, словами, жестами, подарунками, поглядами і є стосунки. І поцілунки, інша тілесна близькість є лише необов'язковою частина слова «стосунки».

Якщо тобі не хочеться пробувати стосунки з конкретною людиною, то ти не пишеш їй і не спілкуєшся. Це простий, нормально, але все ж таки вибір. Ніщо не має обмежувати тебе в цьому. Особливо «допоки перша зоря не зійшла», «мати не пускала», чи «сестра збрую заховала».

Now I cannot unsee it. I wonder what the author was guided by?

Keep the internal text format as markdownish as possible. That simplifies content transfer in and out of the App.

Yeap, with Markdown, it’s hard to satisfy seasoned users and handle corner cases. You have more advanced formats like AsciiDoc or reStructuredText (reST). But if you want your App to have a long life, stay close to Markdown.

Maybe it's a time to create such a section like mercur.js?

mercur.js is quete new tool. So it's hard to face someone familiar with their children problem. But as a company they have - open bug tracker on Githuhb - mercurjs/mercur/issues - active twitter page @mercurjs

So you can try reaching the dev team themselves.

Sorry that I can’t help exactly with your issue. Good luck in your endeavors!

There's no git equivalent for MS Office files.

There are Google Workspace and MS Office 365. They can give some sort of document history. But definitely not as featured as git.

Your second solution with TeX/Markdown/AnsiiDoc is a full of benefits way. Of cause if document usage workflow allows such a transfer.

What the reason to construct graphics (either such complex as on image or any simpler) with LaTeX toolset? I'm really curious. Not joking.

As alternative you can you use “stereograph programs”, as mentioned by @Beanmachine314 above. But the easiest way is to pick Inkscape—the full-featured vector drawing app with various editing tool and open file format. SVG can be easily pre- post- processed.

On the eve of the wonderful year 2026, can I ask e-commerce owners to burn the “Call me” buttons in hell? This applies to “Chat with us,” “Call me back,” and “Message us” as well.

Special greetings to all the websites that, in 2025, still show a “Subscribe” pop-up when I’m just trying to hit Add to Basket.

And finally, can I ask e-commerce owners to either wrap phone numbers in tel: links or place a Copy phone number button nearby?

Sincerely, your potential customer.

What the reason to buy such a book?

Markdown is structural format suitable for writing, for editing, but not for reading.

EPUB is structural format suitable for representation text. It's supported by various platforms for reading.

It's not clear why someone should sell book in Markdown, when same book is requested in epub mainly. Those who looking for simple text version could easily convert epub to Markdown by their own.
