While learning jj, I realize how Git habituated me into being ok with its unique jargon and prickly command line interface.
Unlearning Git is refreshing.
#jjnotesfollow is just brilliant; it really feels like theyโve fixed all of the problems with git whilst at the same time remaining completely backwards compatible. The simpler interface, the universal undo, the reduced set of concepts โ Iโm a big fan
Also, editing and rearranging commits like 3x5 notecards on your desk is tremendous. It makes using an SCM feel more like editing your work than lumbering forward.
thinking on deploying excalidraw on my homeserver, so I can store drawings without bothering with export/import. Yes, excalidraw+ for $7/mo; but nowadays I pay only one sub - for Claude; everything else is personal software.
Hell must have frozen over.
I just installed Openclaw on my Linux box.
I had already cobbled together an agent like thing (pi) that I talked to over Telegram, so I figured, let's give Openclaw 2.0 a try, locked down completely at first, but slowly opened up over time.
I really like this minimal approach, I wish the maintainer great success with textlog.
whatever that may look like to them :)
I will make sure to check in occasionally.

Hi, yes, I develop ari. I'm so glad it's proven useful for you! Any feature requests or changes you'd like to see? I'm curious what bits of ari have made it easier for you to explore data, too.
UI or #dataviznotesfollow additions keep tempting me, but I haven't settled on what I want there. If you have thoughts on that front, I welcome them.

The two main things I use are the duckdb support and of course the built-in resty client. Not needing to shell out to curl just makes life easier. I should probably add that Iโm mainly prototyping and explore things that later eventually will be developed further by others in our organization, so using array langs where I donโt need to type a lot is a big plus for me:) Iโll let you know if I need anything!

Thanks, thatโs helpful. Those are the two things I use the most, too.
One development tool I use frequently is the util.ac function (for โauto-completeโ) that takes a glob pattern and returns all the globals whose names match.
I didnโt want to make people have to define or update their Goal lib path, so in recent versions of ari Iโve been packaging all of the Goal libs and ari's into a libs FS that you can use with import.
