Command line applications
Yes, you can create whatever you want - from simple CLI utils , through moderately complex interactive tools (example by me), to complex, full-fledged command line applications (example, another example).
- Anyone down to revive this? Feels like in 2022, there's still a need for this. Seems like it's been dead for a few years. Cannot be installed anymore.

Admit it, you only edit .CONF files with it anyway...
In that spirit: I just found Slap (https://github.com/slap-editor/slap). Looks cool, but haven't installed it yet. Clearly best editor ever!!! Obviously better than vim.

Micro - Text Editor
There is also the slap editor which tries to mimic Sublime in the terminal, but it's very bloated and seems to have been abandoned.

Exploring video generators in FFMPEG
There is clearly a whole load of repetition, so this should be fairly easy to build and parameterise. Essentially this will all just be string building so we won't need to use any particular libraries for most of this script. We will need a way to call ffmpeg though - and ffmpeg will need to be present too, of course. To call a CLI command we can use the package commander.
