Show HN: Text Lambda, a versatile notebook for your personal data
Thank you!
"stash", the initial MVP version, is written in Haskell. I chose Haskell mostly because of https://github.com/jtdaugherty/brick, which is a wonderful TUI library. I also tend to prefer functional programming languages when I have the choice.
However, Text 's backend and website are currently implemented in Clojure. The app is in C + Flutter (Dart).

How can I move from a basic hello world/number program to something more substantial?
Brick is a great library for terminal applications. I’d say start with the examples or take a look at some tutorials that use it, then just go at it.

A simple tui to launch gzdoom mods
Thanks. Yeah I was surprised myself at how much of a capable tool whiptail turned out to be. Especially since I'd heard it has issues with returning values, or not being as capable as dialog. I was actually in the midst of choosing between it, Haskell's brick, or python's PromptToolkit, yet settled on whiptail to see how far a bash approach could take me.

If you could change one thing about Emacs what would it be?
In that vein, a declarative way to build (Text) UI like html+css. Or something along the lines of what Brick is for terminals.

Help me understand the possibilities of Bash (best uses, etc)
Aside from the obvious uses - command line scripts - you can also do quite a bit with the GUI. Check out Yad for bash script GUI. X11 related tools like wmctrl, xdotool allow you to create spectacular scripts. I write and use numerous dynamic menus created with bash + jgmenu.

I saw somewhere a program that transformed every terminal command into GUI. Someone know it?
Are you referring to yad?

How do you actually install steamtinkerlaunch? It requires the YAD dependency and I can’t figure out how to install it.

What are the tools that improve your workflow by a lot?
yad pushing your shell scripts to the next level via user inputs. For example i wrote a small script which lets me select an environment and an app and the url+port is written into the clipboard.

Most feature rich file manager?
I make a lot of use of yad (which I think is in the standard repository) to give a GUI-like feel to my scripts. yad is a significant advance over zenity.

Script for dialog box asking if I want too launch programs on the weekend
You might want to look at yad to add a GUI dialogue box to your script. Something like:

Showing GUIs from Shell Scripts
I like yad[0] for this. For example, I use it to present a GUI color picker to change/insert colors in Vim (via a plugin called vCoolor[1]). I also use it in some i3/sway scripts that need user input or to show a progress bar.
