nnn

I’m a fan of nnn for a terminal file manager, so I’m keen to try out broot. Does anyone have other recommendations I should try? https://github.com/jarun/nnn.

Another nnn fan here, great tool! Been meaning to try out xplr[1] which I came across the other day. 1 https://github.com/sayanarijit/xplr.

Productivity Power Tools

I found https://github.com/hoppscotch/hoppscotch recently and it's quite nice. There's also a VSCode extension that doesn't look like it's actively developed any more: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=rangav.vscode-thunder-client.

lf (file manager)

Related to ranger, nowadays I use lf[0], which is a clone of ranger written in Go. There's also pistol[1] which is a replacement for ranger's rifle file viewer [0] https://github.com/gokcehan/lf.

Broot has many features that feel natural... When you know they exist (for example, try looking for what's taking space with `br -w` then stage the files and remove them at the end). I suggest everyone to have at least a short glance at the introduction at https://dystroy.org/broot/.

Not sure if pup supports this but something I do use fairly often (and copied into my own internal tooling) is the ability to filter out results as a flag in the CLI. For example, something I usually do is: <pre><code> curl --include --location https://example.com | tee /tmp/example-com.html | htmlq --base https://example.com a --attribute href --remove-nodes 'a[href*="#"],a[href^="javascript"],a[href*="?"]'.

LNAV

Https://lnav.org/2021/05/03/tailing-remote-files.html As for integrating with a “genders” host DB, there’s no direct support for it. But, lnav is scriptable, so I’m pretty sure it’s possible to write a script that does what you want. I can help with that if post in the github discussion: https://github.com/tstack/lnav/discussions.
