Infra, Rust, and motorcycles 🏳️‍🌈

Building @atuin.sh
Pinned
A lot of my infra workflows live in Slack threads, docs, or buried in shell history. That sucked.

I've been building Atuin Desktop. Local-first, CRDT-powered, executable runbooks - with integrated terminals, sql queries + monitoring

Lmk if you have any questions <3

I just bought a 90s film camera I've been obsessed with for a long time

more expensive than I'd like, but stock will only ever go down. SO HYPE for it to arrive

What if you could write shell scripts like a short story (and use Go code in that process)?

I tested integrating Go into Atuin Runbooks; find the results in the latest Applied Go Weekly Newsletter.

I want to pay a company money to enable me to give away stickers for free

Like I order stickers from a printer I like to your address, you give me a webform I can send to my users. Is there anything like this?

I really don't want to use print on demand because the quality is never good

This is very cool to see, looking forward to giving it a try :D
Finally sharing what I’ve been building for almost a year now! 🐢✨

Atuin Desktop: runbooks that run

It’s open source and in open beta now 🥰

Built for engineers who need repeatable, reliable workflows. No more copy-pasting from slack or outdated docs

New dev machine setup continues. Got Atuin running on it this morning. An incredible project for anyone who uses the shell daily, across machines. Built by @ellie.wtf.

Atuin Desktop now has tabs! We've been working hard to get this ready for open beta, and making it feel like a real editor is important

In recent weeks, we've also released support for local, file based workspaces - check them into a git repo, sync them however you want

So last week I discovered @atuin.sh by @ellie.wtf and it's fucking awesome. I was going to write a whole thing to sync my shell history to my NAS and now I don't need to. 10/10 would recommend.

If you haven’t used @atuin.sh it’s well worth looking into! Rock solid shell history search and sync. One of the first things I install onto a new machine and then it quietly works perfectly, waiting for me to need it.

Fun fact! The Atuin logo is the wonderful work of @andycarolan.bsky.social and it was seeing this that led me to reach out to Andy to design the dogs you see in my more recent blog posts 😁
