menubar VS pls

been working on https://github.com/smol-ai/menubar for a couple months, but nervous to "launch" it because i feel like it hasn't had a significant "wow" moment yet. basically the idea is to 5x the amount of chat output for every unit of human input, to get variety + familiarity with the wide range of chat models out there. its moved from a "smol menubar app" towards its own "ai chat browser". i wonder if i should put int he work to make it a full "ai browser" before i launch it.

comparing them every day via https://github.com/smol-ai/menubar . i'd say when it comes to coding I pick their suggestions about 30% of the time. not SOTA, but pretty darn good!

fwiw i noticed the demo failing before today's release. i use all 4 major chat apps every single day for every query (https://github.com/smol-ai/menubar) and started detecting a major major regression in bard about a week or so ago. so suspected something was going on, went back to pop in this question and lo and behold

smol-ai/menubar: a menubar with Zero latency access to ChatGPT/Bard/Claude! A/B test them, or use them in the background. I use this 20 times a day. (github.com) It has a customizable URL. But I don't know how to install it. Plus limited to three chatbots.

smol menubar - quickly access ChatGPT, Bard, and Anthropic with a single keyboard shortcut

i think the best way to consume these things is a menubar app that can be brought up quickly with a shortcut. i recently released https://github.com/smol-ai/menubar which i personally use!

I'm working on pls (https://github.com/dhruvkb/pls/), a prettier and more powerful alternative to ls(1) that adds a lot of customisation and provides a very fluent command-line interface. It aims to be a superset of exa in terms of the features, while being more actively maintained and targeting a smaller subset of pro-users.

It works quite well and is very usable as a daily driver. I'm adding more features to it and making it available to install it via platform-native package managers.

I made a small CLI tool called pls (repo). It's a FOSS app for listing the contents of your directory (similar to ls) but it has lots of nifty features geared towards professionals/programmers (hence the 'p' in the name) that make the output prettier and easier to visually parse.
