A curated list of delightful tools for digital creatives in a variety of mediums.
EDIT: Nevermind with the below, I’m guessing you used Graphite. Glad that was the first option to try (with runnable in browser).
Though the pen tool doesn’t seem to be perfect for this (or I’m missing something) so perhaps I am wrong.
What did you make the logo with, particularly if it is not (just) raster?
I know Inkscape doesn’t seem to work very well with that style, or at least it could be a lot simpler and easier. To the point I’d say the Godot game engine has a better polygon editor, but it only really handles the basics well (for instance, vertex colors are edited by a list).
I actually did not make the logo, so I’m not sure! Unless I’m mistaken, it was probably made by @smallcircles who created the #delightful list project. I just maintain this one particular list. :)
I chose the original logo, which is just a recolorization of an SVG Gem emoji from Wikimedia. Then an adaptation was made. Am on mobile now, can’t check whom to credit. See main codeberg repo :)
Cheers for the list. Great to keep an eye open for alternatives. What I’m looking for right now is a good GIT client for Ubuntu.
On windows I’ve got Sourecetree, it’s free and got a really simple UI.
I’ve found a single program, SmartGit that looks decent but apparently it’s just a trial version and they’ve got licenses. I haven’t really found anything as a good substitute
Actually not trying to be a dick or a pedant, but is there a problem with just the git
command? I’ve been using it since git existed so I don’t really have anything to compare it to. The idea of finding another client seems a bit strange to me.
One thing I’ve found invaluable about a visual interface is the ability to quickly browse the commit tree. Having a big list of commits that you can sort and click to see the diff of each file has saved me on multiple occasions. I’m sure it’s all info you can get from the CLI as well, but I can’t imagine it being even half as fast.
While the CLI provides the same functionality, it can be a lot easier to visually parse information or provide direct interactivity with a GUI instead. If you’re working on a large project or just want a different way to display the information git
provides, it makes things a bit smoother.
Generally I just use VSCode’s source control UI when I want a GUI for git. I can’t imagine using a standalone GUI for git when all the big editors have their own interfaces.
Anyone try joplin before? Looking to change up my notes app for some reason or another
Yeah! Joplin is pretty cool. I like it a lot and have used it quite a bit. I will warn, the backup sync feature can be a little finicky. It normally works just fine, but I have seen a couple incidents that resulted in data loss. If you use it, just make sure to check every so often and be sure it’s syncing properly. It’s never failed on me personally, though.
How about web browser?
I’m going to try Vivaldi.
As a home browser it’s alright, but it really shines for me when I’m at work. I work on multiple projects so I created a workspace for each with default tabs I need. I also added a bunch of startpage folders for HR links, documentation links, stuff I want to learn which is a lot more user friendly than bookmarks, I find. I also added my email client to the panel sidebar so I can quickly check and respond in the same browser window.
Then there’s also the cmd + e shortcut which acts like the Mac OS spotlight but for browser functions.
On the whole it’s made me a lot more productive.
Is “delightful” the codeburg version of “awesome”?
