slack-term VS quickadd

You can still find terminal interfaces for a lot of these things, including Slack: https://github.com/jpbruinsslot/slack-term. I don't use Emacs but I imagine you could integrate that somehow if you wanted to.

If I accepted having an intermediate jump box, then things go even farther down. Any with a telnet client works, and with something like ZiModem that opens up literally anything with a serial port. I've done "real" work from an Atari 8-bit and Commodore 64 by telnetting to a jumpbox and then sshing into my work Macbook. Spending a whole day that way would be pretty challenging but it could be done. Throw in slack-term and I was able to even keep up with company chat. I was only doing it for fun so I didn't go all the way but I could have set up our g-suite in a terminal IMAP client.

Slack/Discord This is the biggest gap for me so far. I haven't figured out how to get slack or discord to load in firefox. Those sites just redirect me to a page that tells me to download the Android app, even if I spoof the user agent. I use Slack for work, and Discord for communicating with some friends and family, so I'd still like to figure this out. The closest I've found for slack is slack-term which is terminal-based and seems to be abandoned. But it actually works (not well, but you can read and write messages), though the user experience is truly terrible on the phone, since you have to use the on-screen keyboard to do anything. Supposedly there is a matrix bridge, but I haven't tried it yet.

NB. On integrating slack & other webby things. Terminal applications might be a big help here (the Windows terminal now has excellent compatibility if you’re using Windows). For instance, there’s a slack plugin for weechat (a terminal IRC / chat client) which by all accounts works pretty well. Or there’s this client that runs directly in a terminal.

there's a much better way providing simplicity with full data ownership and real tasks out of the box in daily documents https://acreom.com

the premise of this article is false. acreom [1] is VC backed, and doesn’t implement any of the mentioned practices. No price subsidising (quite the opposite), no pressure to create lock-in or monetize user data etc. There’s nothing wrong with being VC backed given the expectations between investors, the team and users are aligned.

Hello HN! Maker of Keycheck.dev here.

Keycheck is an open-source web app that lets you quickly find consistent and conflict-free shortcuts for your app. Currently featuring over 100 apps, and 1400 shortcuts.

When designing keyboard shortcuts for our main app - acreom (https://acreom.com/), we wanted to create a great keyboard user experience. This involves designing shortcuts which are easy to hit, easy to remember, and do not clash with the system shortcuts. We have learned that there’s no reason to reinvent the wheel and it’s easier to follow conventions from other popular apps to achieve this. Finding this out, however, was frustrating, and involved lots of manual work of downloading and signing in to other apps.

We decided to solve this problem and open-source our solution to help other makers in the process of designing shortcuts. You can match any key combination against combinations of other apps, search shortcuts by their keybinds, descriptions, or by app, and explore the apps and see their shortcuts. Feel free to play around and explore all the possibilities.

The code is fully open-sourced (https://github.com/Acreom/keycheck) and contributions are welcome! If you are a maker, feel free add your app to help other makers and increase visibility for your own project.

Looking forward to the feedback!

with the steep learning curve of setting it up followed by the never ending UX complexities emacs seems like it's for people who get satisfaction of spending time setting things up rather than being effective. A modern alternative of this is Notion.

On the contrary, for people who care about getting stuff done with a capture-first organize-later interface that works out of the box like an iPhone, options are limited.

for the curious ones I'm building one myself https://acreom.com
