Project mention: Automatic Visual Feedback for System Volume Change in I3wm via Dunst | dev.to | 2024-06-27
I switched to the i3 tiling based window manager. Because it's a whole different environment and thinking, it was very different from what I was used to. The volume buttons were working on my keyboard, but I didn't get any visual feedback. Furthermore, the volume percentage could go down below zero and increase up to more than hundread percent. There were times when I was confused why the keys stopped working, but the actual hidden reason was that the volume's value was somehow -500 percent, so increasing it by 5 percent via my keys would have taken a little time.

Picom has an awesome feature [0] that, for the sake of all our eyes, should come by default on every device with a screen. It can continuously adjust the brightness of individual windows by averaging all the pixels in that window. It's great for defending against "flashbangs" (when a new tab burns your eyes with a blank white screen).

Project mention: Godot founders had desperately hoped Unity wouldn't 'blow up' | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-09-06
I wanted this exact thing (Caps Lock -> End), and https://github.com/rvaiya/keyd works.
It runs in the background as a systemd service, and the config is just:

On the other hand, as you can read at its GitHub repo, jgmenu is a simple, independent and contemporary-looking X11 menu, designed for scripting, ricing and tweaking. It is hackable, has a simple code base and does not depend on any toolkits such as GTK and Qt, but uses cairo and pango to render the menu. It can optionally use some appearance settings from XSettings, tint2 and GTK; and it has UTF-8 search support.

nsxiv (fork of the now unmaintained sxiv), is also very light and simple (and the mousewheel zooms in and out): https://codeberg.org/nsxiv/nsxiv

Project mention: Flameshot – Powerful, yet simple to use open-source screenshot software | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-06-11
For screenshots I use 'scrot' and then open the image in gimp if I need to crop or edit further.
Seems very simple to me and avoids browsers, cloud storage, and other potential pitfalls.
