If you are using Linux you should give [Vicinae] a spin, you will love it. Its a powerhouse and opens a lot of doors for you to extend it.

I myself wrote 5 Vicinae Extensions that I use daily. Really great app and the community is growing 2.9K stars on github and around 170 members on discord. The dev is also kind and open to accept improvements and issues.

- Manage bluetooth
- Manage Wifi
- Manage your active media
- Clipboard History (Unlimited)
- Global file search (Unbelievably fast)
- Power menu (shutdown, sleep and so on)
- Switch Active Windows
- Emoji Search
- Shortcuts
- Access to all Raycast Extensions (Even though only some of them are currently working the number is increasing everyday)
- Their own Vicinae Store coming soon !!

I just finished watching the vite documentary on cult repo and I really loved it. I just kept imagining what the Better Auth documentary would look like 😁. Coz it will happen for sure. And it would be awesome to be a part of it.

Here are the tools I built and actually use every day:

[nr-fish-completion]
Autocomplete for nr (from antfu’s ni) in Fish shell — lets me run scripts effortlessly. Probably my most-used tool ever.

[Noty]
My quick notes app — keyboard-focused, autosave on, and zero distractions. (Writing this post on it)

[floww]
Restores my entire dev setup after a reboot — one config, and I’m back where I left off.

[gitsnip]
Grab just a folder from any Git repo. Small but mighty.

[Better Hasura History]
Total lifesaver — lets me find past API calls I made on Hasura weeks ago.

[EthCal]
Ethiopian calendar app in my Gnome top bar — my latest project and I just see it at a glance. and i am adding small features bit by bit.

[cvm]
Cursor version manager that lets me update my Cursor IDE with just a single command, I built it back when cursor doesn't have support for rpm (it only had appimage) and installing appimage with desktop entry, cli command and updating it was a mess. This tool saved me.

What’s your favorite tool you built and use daily?

Helium Browser looks clean lets see how it performs

Is having no opinion about some tech u use or not use a skill issue 😕

Random midnight idea

What if I can open my telegram chats through Vicinae. But it has to be easy to use and no auth no anything.

discovery 1: you can open their chat if you have the username of a person using

'xdg-open tg://resolve?domain=aion_ue'

so basically i can use a vicinae command with arguments to open any chat if i have the user's username. (thats what i did in the viedeo using the 'ot' shortcut)

problem 1: do i have to remember the username to open the chat after the first time. that won't be easy at all. many chat and many username to remember.

solution for problem 1: when the user first opens a chat using username with the xdg-open command i can save the username in the viciane local-storage(yeah it has one, its like a small browser except its written in cpp from scratch and it has react renderer too 👀). so now right after we hit enter we save the username in our local storage then launch telegram with the user's chat opened.......

so maybe we can have a list view that lists all our contacts that we at least once accessed through the command with argument ('ot') but the list should be easily searchable and pretty. so what can we do???

discovery 2: if you open https://t.me/username it opens a webpage with the users display name and profile image (if they enable it to be shown to everyone)

problem 2: how can i get this data inside my vicinae extension

solution for problem 2: i can use curl then get the html then parse the html to extract the display name and the profile image. (i called curl using execAsync from node util promisify)

then we get what is shown in the screen recording.

so for your chats that you open frequentely you can open them using viciane once through username then i will handle the rest. finally we built a progressively updating telegram contact list that we can launch instantly with features


Fuzzy search through saved contacts
Profile pictures from Telegram
Manual name editing for custom nicknames
One-click refresh for updated data
Zero authentication required


😁. now i need to sleep

huh??

so now chatgpt history is going to be like 🥸 browser history 😅

You are waiting for someone to choose you.
You are waiting for someone to create space for you to speak.
You are waiting for someone to notice your brilliance.

But here is the truth. No one is coming to hand you that moment.
It is not their responsibility to see you, hear you, or value you.
It is your responsibility.

If you want to be seen, show up.
If you want to be heard, speak with courage.
If you want to be valued, deliver undeniable results.

Stop waiting for permission.
The opportunity you are waiting for might already be in your hands. You just have to take it.

Whatever it is you want, go get it.

The time we live in! we have prompt injection now.

someone added nix dev shell on vicinae-gnome-extension and its almost 500 downloads 😁 people are actually using it.

[PR]

The [Extension] got accepted on Official Gnome Extension Store

[EGO]

My panel was cluttered with tray icons from another GNOME extensions and some apps like Discord and Telegram. So I decided to de-clutter it using another GNOME extension 😅 and called it [Veil].

It has auto hide after a delay feature and smooth animations too.

r/gnome is loving it
