Since I last wrote about Fish (the Friendly Interactive SHell), I’ve become a full-on convert. I actually stumble a bit when I use Bash now, with so many nice Fish features ingrained in my muscle memory. Did you know that Fish records command history per-directory and offers the appropriate completion based on your current working directory? It’s an amazingly productive feature.

Since posting about the new Marked Custom Style Gallery, I’ve added six new preview styles for Marked 2 that I consider worth a mention: Emma, Mouse, Hardstock, Monophile, Symphonic, and FadingFast. Click any of those links to preview the styles live in your browser.

Thanks to The Archive for sponsoring BrettTerpstra.com this week! I know that—with the impending release of nvUltra—it seems like touting the competition, but The Archive is a great app and their support of BrettTerpstra.com means a lot to me. Thank you!

I automate everything I can. I enjoy the process of building automations in myriad contexts, using myriad tools. And I frequently have to assess whether I’ve spent more time automating something than I’m actually going to save using the automation.

As part of my Marked 2 documentation update over the weekend, I ended up putting some more time into my (admittedly insane) NiftyMenu project. This project made me look crazy when I first posted it last year. This update is not going to help. I will have to shoot over 180 screenshots before I break even on time invested… but it’s really fun to play with.

I spent some time this weekend updating the Marked 2 documentation. In addition to the content editing, I also ended up reworking some of the tools I use to build the documentation, ranging from automated screenshots to the help builder system that turns a folder full of Markdown files into the Marked 2 documentation.
