  • Koy-lang: a new flexible and feature-rich data serialization language
    3 projects | /r/code | 17 Mar 2022
    While working on my dotfiles I found myself needing a configuration language that, first and foremost, was visually pleasing to look at, hence why I didn't consider something like XML. Now, I wanted one that supported objects and didn't look all messed up if I were to deeply nest them. With this in mind I removed TOML and INI from the list of possible candidates. But now, I wanted to be able to have stuff like variables, comments and perhaps some data casting functionality. Here is when I removed good ol' JSON from the picture. We are left with YAML, yet again, I really don't like YAMLs' syntactic rules and the fact that there is some ambiguity on how some stuff is defined.

  • opening a scratchpad with signs
    1 project | /r/suckless | 18 Jun 2023
    is it possible to open a scratchpad via command line? I use the scratchpad patch and I have a scratchpad created to open the st in floating mode, I also have a clickable statusbar with an updates block, which when clicked opens an st ready to update my system. Is it possible to make this command run on the scratchpad I created for the st?

dmenuWacom - DMenuWacom is a script that allows you to manage Wacom graphics tablets, allows you to remap keys, create custom profiles and even select a screen of your choice. It is meant for zsh so to run it among the dependencies it requires that too, but actually even if you use bash as the default shell, the important thing is to have zsh installed
