ohmyzsh
🙃 A delightful community-driven (with 2,400+ contributors) framework for managing your zsh configuration. Includes 300+ optional plugins (rails, git, macOS, hub, docker, homebrew, node, php, python, etc), 140+ themes to spice up your morning, and an auto-update tool that makes it easy to keep up with the latest updates from the community.
Honukai has long been my favorite iTerm, Oh My ZSH color theme, and I just assumed it existed for other use cases. But alas, I had to create them for myself. I adapted Oskar's work for Tabby terminal, ZED IDE and VS Code. You can get the files here.

I chose Alacritty for this. Why? Because it's written in Rust. Is there any other reason? It also has a pretty simple and has an easy to understand settings page and uses TOML. It also has built in support for vi motions. All wins. It's pretty easy to install as well, just follow the link above. I went with the portable version. Just make sure you note where it is going to look for the configuration files.

Project mention: Getting Started with Hacktoberfest: My First Open-Source Contributions | dev.to | 2024-10-01
So, I submitted another PR to a project called TLDR, which is a popular repository that provides concise explanations for various terminal commands. The TLDR project is part of Hacktoberfest, so this contribution will count toward the event. My contribution involved documenting commands for the Azure CLI, specifically az disk, which is used for managing Azure disks. I read through the contribution guidelines, forked the repository, created a new branch, made my updates, and submitted the PR with notes on the changes I made.

Project mention: In your opinion, what is the text-editor equivalent of Openbox? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-09-09
Simple yet customizable? My thoughts go to Sublime Text if you want a GUI editor and closed-source is OK, or Micro if you want a TUI editor that is open source:
https://micro-editor.github.io/
Like OpenBox, most casual users can be dropped in and know their way around their interfaces, and both options are kinda lightweight compared to other modern options. There is power available for serious customization if you want (you can write plugins for them in Python and Lua, respectively).
Personally, both Vim and Emacs do not remind me much of OpenBox. I think i3wm is more a Vim, and I guess XMonad is the most Emacs-like window manager I've tried. (Arguably, EXWM is the only truly Emacs-like window manager...)
