@pointlessone thanks! i will have to test drive that a bit. i don’t understand how it could possibly do the right thing 100% of the time.
julia evans mentioned this issue with ngrok in a blog post, “Terminal colours are tricky,” and reasons about why colour #16 might be orange instead of black with her base16 which is interesting.

but i’ve found this to be the case with all the base16 colour schemes i’ve tried. while i’m semi-mad at base16, i’m more mad that ngrok sets a background colour at all and that it’s outside of the ANSI 0-15 colours.
pro tip for base16 color scheme ngrok users…
if your terminal emulator uses a base16 colour scheme and you want to be able to read the text output by the ngrok program, simply prefix your ngrok command with
TERM=ngrok-sucks
and use the web client to view the request log. before and after screenshots below.
@konnorrogers @jardo i got my feet wet in it for ~3 weeks and then IMMEDIATELY uninstalled it because it was too good
@jardo sorry!
ty @jardo for trendsetting
a couple of projects i work on document why ruby dependencies have been added to the gemfile and why those dependencies are locked to specific versions. we do this inline, in the gemfiles. i highly recommend doing this.
as a reader, this gives me a lot of context about the codebase at-a-glance. it tells me about how valuable a given dependency is.
as a dev adding gems, it forces me to *really* justify them and think critically about if i need a version lock or if i’m just giving into fear.
