simplecd VS sunburn.nvim

I'm pretty sure that to this day, I am its only user, but it's fascinating how a relatively simple bash-based continuous delivery script can power the build & deploy pipelines of some quite complex and large-ish projects of mine: https://github.com/manuelkiessling/simplecd/

I needed a no-fuzz, lightweight Continuous Delivery setup, and wrote https://github.com/manuelkiessling/simplecd.

It’s a single bash script.

To this day, I use to deploy all my projects, including my work projects, no matter what tech stack I use, with great success.

I find most Continuous Delivery tools/services overkill most of the time, so I wrote (and heavily use, even in enterprise setups) my own tool „SimpleCD“, which is just a single Bash script, but is extremely powerful and flexible: https://github.com/manuelkiessling/simplecd

A while back I read about the Oklab color space, and long story short I decided I wanted to create my own Neovim coloscheme. That led to sunburn.nvim[1], which aims to take advantage of the hue and brightness uniformity that Oklab provides.

At first I was using lush.nvim to build sunburn.nvim, but quickly it became a hassle to only be able to specify colors via RGB or HSL. My initial thought was a PR to add Oklab support to lush, but that framework does so much that it was hard to see where to start. So I ended up writing polychrome.nvim[2], which is a dead simple micro framework in comparison to lush.nvim, but does enough to take care of all the boilerplate, and supports a bunch of color spaces (which are converted to RGB on the fly).

I also wanted push notifications for when certain RSS feeds I follow were updated, because I suck at remembering to check in on things or check an RSS feed app. But I didn't want to pay for IFTTT or other bespoke solutions, so I wrote notifeed[3]. It's designed to run as a service on a server, and then check all your feeds at predetermined intervals and send the necessary webhooks based on your configuration. Feeds and clients are configured via the CLI and stored in a SQLite DB for simplicity.
