What’s your feeling on Google #keep #notion Or, do you have a preference for sharing a text or checkbox-type list?
In a perfect full GNU/#linux world, I would want the list to be in #dmenu (#suckless software), but idk about the file sharing aspect.
I don’t like Resilio. It just hasn’t worked out reliably when I tried. Plus, it is a bit of a drag being proprietary. Dropbox functions better anyway, so it remains a little lingering tech question of mine: what is the best free (FOSS) alternative?

This is a really lovely launcher.
https://github.com/vicinaehq/vicinae
It will replace #dmenu for me (RIP Xorg).
One piece of software I miss is sxhkd for defining global shortcuts with a plain text file. Does anything like that exist for #Wayland? #Linux

CW: mention of suckless, fascism
I have an obscure problem.
I really like #dmenu for its simplicity and functionality.
But I don't like nazis. And I'd really like to use software that isn't made by them.
I've tried configuring and using #rofi but I just don't like it. Has anybody found an X11 launcher with the same feel as dmenu, but with devs that are less bent on seeing people like me dead?

I got tired of Windows Start Menu's bloat and lag, so I built WindMenu, a dmenu-like launcher for Windows.
Keyboard-first, minimal UI, instant response, pure Win32 APIs. Here's how it took shape:

For your curiosity's sake..😜

I can't believe it took me until 2025 to realize that I needed a rofi-based address book for email address completions everywhere.

I found this project called `tofi` that seems to work the same way as dmenu but for Wayland. It is not in the Arch repos only in the AUR, so I guess it is not that popular.
Might be `rofi` the good option? It seems to have a Wayland-compatible version, too. What do you think?

My kingdom for two rows of favorites in #KissLauncher (on #Android).
It's such an awesome launcher. It's like using #dmenu / #rofi / #wofi on your phone ;)

Watching videos with #dmenu and #links2
This is the barebones script for video-watching from my ratpoison companion #serpico, adapted for dmenu.
Except for the search option, a valid video url must be selected, either with cursor keys or hovered over with a mouse.
Links2 must be focused for it to work, so execute the script externally (either with a delay, or through a key-binding). The example uses a #cwm keybiding Super+l.

use #dmenu to find and play a song through #mpd:
```
#!/bin/ksh
query=$(mpc listall | dmenu -l 24 -i)
if [[ $(mpc) != *paused* || $(mpc) != *playing* ]]; then
mpc play; fi
if [[ $query != "" ]]; then
mpc insert "$query"; mpc next
fi
```(this suggests you have mpd running and correctly set up)
#serpico #tutorialedit: the previous version didn't work if mpd was stopped.

I call this one 'Goodbye links/ratpoison'
A runner-up title was 'what ads?'
video watching through #dmenu. While this is still recorded in #ratpoison, my project is no longer dependent on it.
