Quick check of gateway metrics - MacOS only
As many of you, I obsess over the current metrics of my TMHI modem. Opening the app to check it is too cumbersome. On MacOS there is a cool free utility that allows simple scripts to run in the menu called SwiftBar (get it here: https://github.com/swiftbar/SwiftBar )

Weather App?
Yeah Carrot is definitely expensive. I’ve been looking for SwiftBar, an open source menu bar app that has lots of community plugins. There’s ones for weather too. And free.

My Hacktoberfest journey with Appwrite
Because my programming background is primarily for scientific purposes, I really had little experience with servers and backends. Until now, my only real experience was with my Coffee Counter web application that is hosted on Deta, a great service for beginners. This app (which is still running and I use everyday through a SwiftBar app in my Mac's menu bar) technically has a backend database, but it is relatively rudimentary and completely managed by Deta – a great option for getting started, but the constraints mean that I cannot get a deeper understanding of the technology. Thus, many of the features of Appwrite were completely novel to me.

Xbar: Put anything in your macOS menu bar
How does it compare to Swiftbar[0]? Any reasons to use Xbar over SwiftBar given that the latter was built with a stack that is more "native" to Mac than Golang?
I was wondering about why SwiftBar existed when there was already BitBar, and a lot is explained in this thread on Github: https://github.com/swiftbar/SwiftBar/issues/95
TL;DR: BitBar stopped working well in Big Sur and the old code base was increasingly hard to update and build.

The Thing About PHP
> ...from the comments section on php.net. The latter was a surprisingly good source but none of this was ever sustainable.
Honestly, I wish more documentation out there had comments/discussion at the bottom.
For example, reading about setting up Open is Connect and having the first (most upvoted) comments on the first page explain things that might not be clear in the docs, analogies that make things easier to understand, or code/configuration snippets for a particular technology.
Somehow the comments in PHP docs were usually like: "after reading the docs, here's what you might want to really know", a bit like those tl;dr apps for manpages: https://tldr.sh/

Making Hard Things Easy
I'm not a fan of man pages. Or any documentation that focuses on textual explanations rather than examples in code (looking at you aws).
I recently found https://tldr.sh/ and found it more convenient. I ended up writing myself a vscode extension to have a quick lookup at my fingertips, since I am at least 60% of the time looking at a terminal in vscode
There's also tldr: https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr
It lets you check the most commonly used options from your terminal, for example "tldr badblocks".

The Case for Nushell
> Along those lines, a quick way to drive adoption could be a huge "how do i do x" or recipes page to Ctrl+F through. If I have to search the internet for how to do x in nushell/fish/etc, I might as well stick to arcane bash - at least you know someone has had the same problem before.
