terminal-notifier VS TextMate

I use an app called terminal notifier - I noticed in Monterey SF symbols just show as a box with a ? In it. No issue using them in Big Sur, never did find a fix and ended up just using emojis instead.

Going a step further I've thought that relying on sound maybe it's not the best option. I've decided to display system notification instead of using say command. For displaying notification I used terminal-notifier tool which is pretty straightforward to use.

The only "difficult" part of this is deciding exactly how you want to send the notification to the notification center. You have many options including the two most common, Growl and terminal-notifier.

Another MacOS plug- I use terminal-notifier

I mostly work on MacOS these days and previously my general purpose text editor wax Textmate: https://github.com/textmate/textmate

Last official release was 2021, so I looked for something more regularely updated, and found CudaText. Definitely very Sublime-ish, and I like it so far.

Textmate 2.0 got open-sourced https://github.com/textmate/textmate but it looks pretty much abandoned/finished.

If you want something like TextMate maybe use TextMate? https://macromates.com

Use a native editor. VS Code is IMHO awful. Someone mentioned Sublime which is fast and has some nice features, but its non-native UI is IMHO ugly and clumsy. You might like it for similarity to VS Code, I guess. If you want something much more "Mac", though: https://macromates.com

I know no one talks about it anymore but TextMate 2 is still actively being developed and I find it excellent.

TextMate is a well-known code editor for developers who code on a Mac system.

See, VSCode itself utilizes grammar files called “tmLanguage” files to tokenize your code. This tokenizer is borrowed from TextMate.
