what's your favorite text/Markdown editor that runs on Linux? Like if I... wanted to write longer fiction, with chapters. Feeling envious of Ulysses I think https://ulysses.app/"Tweak your Vim config" is an acceptable response I guess.

would it be silly to make a command-line tool that finds duplicate files in a given directory? I'd use hashes I think? Write it in Rust or Go?

Is there a better or more complete way to remove smart quotes and the like from a string in Rust?```foo .trim() .replace("’", "'") .replace("‘", "'") .replace("”", "\"")```

Anyone have recommendations for writing Python in Neovim? Plug-ins, etc. Is Python-mode the go-to plug-in? Is PEp8 good to use?

nice to see the Rust lang folks launch an effort to improve how the language handles/supports async (something I continue to struggle with, and made it easier for me to move away from Rust)> Our goal is to engage the entire community in a collective act of the imagination: how can we make the end-to-end experience of using Async I/O not only a pragmatic choice, but a joyful one?https://blog.rust-lang.org/2021/03/18/async-vision-doc.html#Rust

friend of mine bought a book in the form of a PDF (only version available). He wants to pay for it to be printed and bound and sent to him. Like just one copy. Any services like that?
