I've made an autoformatter, linter, and LSP for Quarto, Pandoc, and RMarkdown documents! It's still very much a work-in-progress; only the formatter is reaching something resembling a mature state. Check it out at https://github.com/jolars/panache

I’ve decided that the world needs yet another Pomodoro timer. yapm was unfortunately already taken, so I named it after the Swedish 🇸🇪 tomato 🍅: Tomat.

Tomat is designed specifically for status bars like waybar and polybar and only for linux.

It will be built entirely in Europe, have zero transaction fees, instant payments, and strong privacy, giving the EU full control over its payments infrastructure.
