You can turn off auto-tracking.

I didn't understand what you meant by "haskell and lisp don't scale". Are you saying their library ecosystems are weak ?

This is great, thanks.

You can turn that off (I do). In your config file:

    [snapshot]
    auto-track = "none()"

Auto-tracking could be a great default in certain projects, and a terrible one in others. jj doesn't require it at all and is still awesome without it.

Bonus tips:

    # show help by default, as the subcommands do
    [ui]
    default-command = "-h"

    # more readable log (also affects jjui)
    [templates]
    log = 'builtin_log_oneline'

You can turn off the auto-tracking, and add your files manually.

And in case anyone else finds this thread: I tried the app, and it's great!

Mine do. The phone's lightning connector socket has become "flaky" (from age, or lint..), and at this point I must hold the phone in hand rather than in pocket while walking, for uninterrupted playback.

Ah, that makes sense.

It sounds cool, congrats!

If it's based on hledger, you'll need to license your source code under GPLv3, won't you ?

The linked blog post about making this is an excellent read.

Think of it as an intuitive alternate notation. + means debit, - means credit.

Some recent notes, somewhat mac-specific:

"I'm having trouble finding one true activity monitor on mac. I tried all of these on mac with certain criteria in mind (reliability, renicing, good UX):

- Activity Monitor: doesn't update charts when in background, doesn't show nice value, doesn't allow renice, doesn't hide idle processes

- Apple's top: non-standard, information overload, no nice/renice/idle/filter

- htop: doesn't show accurate process cpu usages (known bug awaiting release), no idle hiding. (Use latest release to avoid crashes.)

- btop: hangs (known bug awaiting release), no nice/renice/idle hiding

- bottom: basic

- gotop: I forget

- glances: pretty good, supports nice & renice. That or htop seem to be the only options for that. glances is CPU-heavy.

- zenith: also good, faster, and at least shows nice. (Crashes if you sort by it, known bug awaiting fix.)"

I went with zenith.

Lauding with faint blame ? :)

You're speaking of "GHC haskell" there. Yes that is the main stream - and this will get solved there sooner or later - but you can also do a fair amount of Haskell without GHC. Eg MicroHs is getting increasingly capable and I believe is highly bootstrappable.

I always liked https://www.extrema.is/articles/haskell-books/haskell-tutori... . But there's a lot out there. Have a look at https://joyful.com/Haskell+map . Or: read code. Or, just build practical stuff and seek help in the chats/fora when you hit problems.

Yes, it's still a thing.

I had the same question. The demo video does not look like half blocks. More details of the terminal, font, window config used would be illuminating.
