- TUI libraries like Lipgloss and Bubbletea really allow users to build a rich experience nowadays. Really anything from https://charm.land is well-polished and a joy to use.
- Kitty image format works great and allows for Avatars, image previews, etc, which helps immensely make slk feel like a Slack client and not an IRC client.
I have nothing but respect for vaxerski. He's 100% dedicated to the project and is incredibly prolific. But I feel like they need a better release strategy for those who prioritize stability over shiny new thing.
See https://www.caniemail.com/scoreboard/ and take note of what's at the bottom of that list.
> Runtimes are longer than the Intel-based configurations by significant margins due to the lower power consumption levels mentioned above. We're able to browse the web for over 3 hours longer on our AMD model versus the Core i7-1370P model when both are set to Balanced mode and 150 nit brightness.

* I can write Markdown notes. I've only wanted to write markdown notes.
* The syncing is incredibly fast because it's using an existing technology purpose-built for syncing (CouchDB)
* I can bring my own CouchDB and not have my data locked in
* Has a mobile app that works well
* There is a "vim mode" and that makes me happy.
The CLI portion is fully baked and works great, but the webapp and syncing part never really gained traction.
ConvertKit is an email marketing platform that helps creators earn a living online. Read our full reason for existing here: https://convertkit.com/mission/
Here's why you should seriously consider working at ConvertKit:
1. We're bootstrapped. We're not on the VC train. We like growth and are growing, but answering to VCs, investors, and all the BS that comes with that is just not part of our world at all.
2. We default to transparency and working in public as much as possible. Feel free to browse all of our financials here: https://convertkit.baremetrics.com/
3. We love side projects. I have my own side project that Nathan even referenced in his most recent blog post (https://nathanbarry.com/product-secrets/). I (me being the Director of Engineering at ConvertKit) personally view side projects as a fantastic, zero-risk way to learn new tech and keep up in the field.
4. Nathan is a kind, generous, nice, and trusting individual. Our culture reflects that. It's built on a foundation that we trust each other, and therefore we have a very positive, healthy culture.
5. We're growing. Our growth is accelerating, and we are needing to scale with our growth. Because of that, we're facing a lot of hard, interesting scaling challenges. For some engineers, these types of challenges are super fun. Those are the kind of engineers we're hiring.
4. Other cool perks like paid paid vacation, 2 year equipment credit, 4 weeks of paid vacation, generous maternity/paternity leave, a flexible work schedule, fun team retreats, and being supportive of the needs of those with kids.

* CTOschool in NYC (http://www.meetup.com/ctoschool/). They have over 2k members, monthly meetups and an active, relevant mailing list. I recommend joining for the mailing list alone.
* I live in Philly so I was tired of commuting to NYC for this meetup, so I co-founded CTOSchool in Philly (http://meetup.com/CTO-School-Philadelphia/). We have over 200 members now and growing.
Both groups focus on engineering leadership topics like hiring, onboarding, software delivery process, team structure, dealing with c-level team, etc. It really made a huge difference in my career.
