`fzf` * `Git` done right

In plain words

fzf is a command-line fuzzy finder tool that helps users quickly search through files, command history, and other text-based content. Designed for developers and power users who work in terminals, it integrates with Git and other tools to streamline workflows. The tool stands out for its speed and flexibility, allowing fuzzy matching across large datasets without requiring exact spelling or order.

  fzfm – fuzzy finder file manager2025 · github.com · ▲6

  Hi HN, fzfm is a small Bash utility I wrote that turns fzf into a terminal file navigator with fuzzy search and preview support. It’s fast, zero-setup, and works entirely from the command line. Core features: - Navigate directories and fuzzy-search files - Preview file contents with bat (fallback to cat) - Preview directories with eza (fallback to ls) - Open files in your editor or viewer (configurable) - Easily customizable via environment variables It’s designed as a quick, keyboard-driven way to browse and inspect files.

  Talanoa▲340

  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…
