  • Should you add screenshots to documentation?

    I built a macOS commmand line util to take window screenshots or videos https://github.com/xenodium/macosrec Window screenshots are mostly covered by macOS built-in app, but videos are not.

    Mostly grew out of a desire to post screenshots on my posts and projects.

    I often wish I could see how some projects look before I install them (but they often don't have screenshots). I'm doing my bit with my projects, I hope.

    - https://xenodium.com/an-ios-journaling-app-powered-by-org-pl... - Lately, I'm having a go at building a privacy-focused plain-text-based iOS journaling app. I starte building it for someone important in my life but now using it myself.

    - https://flathabits.com - After reading Atomic Habits, I wanted a habit tracker but most had more friction than I wanted, required accounts, had distractions, lock-in etc. so I built a privacy-focused app, with little friction and no-lockin (saves to plain text).

    - https://plainorg.com - There are a gazillion markdown apps on the App Store, but hardly any supporting org markup, so I built one.

    - https://xenodium.com/scratch-a-minimal-scratch-area - I wanted a surface where I could just dump text with as few taps as possible.

    - https://github.com/xenodium/macosrec - I wanted to take either screenshots or videos of macOS apps from the command line, so I could integrate anywhere.

    - https://github.com/xenodium/chatgpt-shell - I'm far down the Emacs rabbit hole, so I prefer Emacs-integrated tools. Built a ChatGPT Emacs shell to see what the hype was all about ;) tl;dr it really does help.

    - https://github.com/xenodium/dwim-shell-command - A way to manage and easily apply the gazillion one-liners (and more complex scripts) I've come across. I got close to 100 utils check-in now https://github.com/xenodium/dwim-shell-command#my-toolbox

    - https://github.com/xenodium/ob-swiftui - Play around with SwiftUI layouts from the comfort of my preferd editor.

    - https://github.com/xenodium/company-org-block - Org block completion.

    - https://xenodium.com - I tend to scratch own itches and post my solutions here.

    > screencapture - take screenshots

    Big fan of screencapture. I wanted something similar but for capturing window videos, so I built https://github.com/xenodium/macosrec

    I often wrap command line utilites with Emacs functions (don't need to remember invocation flags/structure but also enables batch invocations):

    Will write it up at some point... tl;dr built macosrec (command-line utility) and hooked it up to Emacs via dwim-shell-command. I'm trialing the following bindings:
