Big sharkdp fan. Ty you for making awesome software that i use DAILY.

bat, fd, hexyl, hyperfine

I'm going to take this moment to remind all of you well-paid engineers that if we each spread $10 a month sponsoring talented software makers like sharkdp the Internet would be a better place.

So many great little tools out there and we should try to support an ecosystem for them.

bat, fd, and hyperfine are all by the same person??? That's incredible, I love all of these utilities.

Seems like David Peter works at Astral now, as does Andrew Gallant (ripgrep).

It's a dream team for rust cli tools over there.

Man should write a tutorial on writing good utility software. Or teach even.

in complete agreement, with tools like fd getting more visibility!

we sponsored fd's development a while back and we occasionally sponsor terminal tool authors from time to time at Terminal Trove where we have more tools in the trove. (0)

we're currently sponsoring zellij which I encourage you to check out and sponsor! (1)

Hard agree about zellij. I used screen, then tmux, for years. Zellij feels "right" for me in a way those never quite did. It's brilliant.

[wanderingmind]

Never knew about Terminal Trove.looks like an awesome place that collects a lot of useful terminal tools. This website must be a separate HN posting.

Only default of Zellij I can't stand is ctrl-q exits the whole instance

[jhbadger]

I'm glad you identified the author -- I'm a big fd and bat fan but didn't know they were created by the same person. I'll have to check out his other tools.

[mgrandl]

You should also check out numbat. It's insanely good.

I wish there was an easy way to find people to sponsor whose repos I use (not depend on because every project I use multiplies the same dependencies) but there are tools I use daily that aren't dependencies in my project like wezterm or atuin.

Completely in line to put some money where my mind is regarding opensource (just sponsored framasoft from another thread).

Do keep in mind how much how trillonaire/billionaire companies sponsor the free software they use while doing so.

bat, fd, rg for me
