Playing with Zellij this week (a terminal multiplexer like screen/tmux) and it's worked great so far.
It's nice having many short-lived, named terminal sessions on a remote machine. Normally I'd have multiple iTerm windows, but they end up with huge histories.
I've been playing with Obsidian and having a great time. It's fundamentally a .md editor but it has so many affordances that it feels different. Link autocompletion, highlighting backreferences, polished mobile app.
A lot of teaching resources focus on folder structure, oddly.
LLMs are great at style transfer, and this works surprisingly well for syntactic transformations too.
