Linklog

This is my Linklog where I keep links to my favorite content on the Internet. It's a great way to keep this content as reference while also sharing articles and tools I encounter and find interesting.

April2026

fnox(fnox.jdx.dev) #tools
An interesting secrets manager from one of the devs behind mise.

March2026

varlock(varlock.dev) #tools
I've been on a "declarative" kick recently, and this sounds a really nice way to do this for environment files.

astral-sh/ty: An extremely fast Python type checker and language server, written in Rust.(github.com) #python #tools
I've been waiting for the astral type checker for a while: mypy is just excruciatingly slow, and every astral product tends to be a superperformer. And finally, it looks like it's coming together, with a preview release!

March2025

Slidev(sli.dev) #tools
During my PhD, I wrangled with beamer for important presentations, but I always yearned for a simpler markdown-based system for smaller, recurrent presentations. I just discovered slidev, and it just checked every feature I would want from this, and more.

February2025

SolracHQ/bmath(github.com) #tools
An interesting CLI math tool, with its own language and sane defaults.
efugier/smartcat(github.com) #cli #LLM #tools
An interesting CLI tool designed to call on to LLMs from the CLI with isolated short prompts. Seems to adhere to core Unix philosophy unlike most AI tools out there. Handles both local and hosted LLMs.
Helix(helix-editor.com) #tools #rust
A rust-based alternative to neovim with opinionated defaults. After setting up an LSP for Python, it immediately became my daily driver.

November2024

shshemi/tabiew(github.com) #cli #rust #tools
A handy rust-based TUI application to view and manipulate data from CSV and databases. Supports SQL syntax to query the data regardless of its sources.

August2024

sharkdp/hyperfine(github.com) #cli #tools
A very useful CLI tool to perform benchmarking tests. Very useful to test a bash script of a simple script file without any complicated profiling.
