Fltrdr – A TUI Text Reader for the Terminal

In plain words

Fltrdr is a text reader designed for use in the terminal as a text-based user interface (TUI). Launched in 2019, it enables developers and terminal users to read and navigate text files directly within their command-line environment. The tool is built for those who work primarily in the terminal and need an efficient way to view and browse text content without leaving their shell. Its source code is available on GitHub.

  Textual Markdown – a Markdown “browser” in the terminal2022 · github.com · ▲254

  Hi HN, This is a TUI app which displays interactive Markdown documents. Interactive in the sense that you can scroll code fences / tables / and click links. There's a Table of Contents extracted from the MD, and a very rudimentary browser like forward + back. I'm thinking it could be the starting point for a variety of hypertext like applications in the terminal. Very much a work in progress.

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
