I'm of the opinion that your software project deserves to be trivial to try out, and easy to use, customize, and extend.
I turn coffee into bad ideas and code.
Sometimes it's interesting.
I've been lucky enough to grow up on Ward's c2 wiki, spent a decade doing low-code #wiki systems with #TWiki and #Foswiki, then getting close to a decade doing #Docker related things.
I ride bikes, bake bread, indoor boulder sometimes, and generally have too much of myself bound up in computers.

PSA: Did you know that it’s **unsafe** to put code diffs into your commit messages?
Like https://github.com/i3/i3/pull/6564 for example
Such diffs will be applied by patch(1) (also git-am(1)) as part of the code change!
This is how a sleep(1) made it into i3 4.25-2 in Debian unstable.
gawd, i feel mildy dumb - i wanted this a few years ago, (go scripting shebang line), and this is ... clever:
Linux desktop voice control has a gap. Talon costs money. Other tools are X11-only or cloud-dependent.
So I built EasySpeak.

- Free and open source (GPL-3.0)
- Fully local — no cloud, no accounts
- Wayland-native
- "Hey Jarvis, open downloads"
Built for RSI, accessibility, or anyone who wants to talk to their computer.

I got nerd-sniped by some friends...
I am feeling somewhat better now, but this is the outcome: https://github.com/BjarniRunar/Pipe - easy shell-like pipes of unix utilities, in #Python!
Example:
from pipe import *
sh.uname | sh.grep('Linux') | sh.Check
(Raises an exception if not on Linux... assuming it runs at all).
