Playing around with PeppermintOS on a "new " old laptop, and having fun. Its making me realize that tiny things can really work to impress. (Especially when you're waiting on a ram upgrade, haha!)

Could be terminal based or GUI, I'm just curious---what tiny apps do you use that you think are neat? Things that don't take up much storage or memory.

My two favorites are recently:

  • nnn for managing files
  • miller for all my CSV needs
  • rg for searching in files
  • navi for my cheatsheet needs
  • nb for my jotting needs
  • ledger because I love to know about my money

Ripgrep is honestly such an awesome tool. Super fast, easy to use, and has built-in support for hidden files and .gitignores making it more flexible than traditional grep.

Nice. I've been putting off for some time trying to find something better than GnuCash or buckling down and writing my own. This looks perfect.

What do you dislike about GnuCash?
