Project mention: Show HN: F2 β Cross-Platform CLI Batch Renaming Tool | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-05-24
> You get the list of filenames in your editor β edit them as you like, save, exit, and it renames the files. It uses whatever editor is set in your $EDITOR env var, so it doesnβt have to be vi/vim.
I'm not sure how "powerful" vidir is, but I recently found this functionality in yazi [1] and it became one of those "you think you don't need it until you try it" features

lazydocker as well. Also a big fan of bottom (https://github.com/ClementTsang/bottom) , which surprisignly enough even though it has charts and everything, it consumes way fewer resources on my system compared to htop.

Project mention: Office is too slow, so Microsoft is making it load at Windows startup | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-05-01
I'm using spotify_player[0]. It is pretty bare-bones but honestly, what do you need? I got album art, a progress bar, and can search and go to my library
Note that if you google you will probably get spotify-tui[1] which DOES NOT work

[1] https://github.com/Rigellute/spotify-tui
side note: man... I really wish I had the time to write or rewrite some TUIs. I'm sure I'm not the only one... Problem with a lot of open source is that they're side projects. I'd imagine there could be state of things could be a lot better if some small org just paid a few engineers to make and maintain a few of them.

termscp

There's a kind of "Magit Imitation" project https://github.com/altsem/gitu that aims to do what it does but sans-emacs. And it's ... fine... but what I realized once I started playing with it was that a large part of what makes magit.. magic... is the editor / buffers being right there.
I've still not fully absorbed magit, and mostly just use the command line and the emacs interactive git rebase mode, but I go in there once in a while. And wow. So cool.
