Atuin seemed like an interesting way to sync shell history across machines. That wasn't a problem I personally had, but I could've seen myself giving it a try.
These recent developments with the Desktop tool, and now what seems like a Jupyter-like replacement for... shell scripts(?)... sounds completely alien to me. I'm sure it solves some problem for somebody, but it's far removed from any problem I've ever had. Good luck with the project, as it does look like a lot of work and thought went into it.
Ive been wanting to give this a try. I see that it mentions markdown formatting support, but I wonder if it actually supports markdown. I'd love to find a way to integrate it with my Obsidian vault, since I already have all my shell snippets and homelab docs there
The slow turnaround is somewhat disappointing but not surprising for a FOSS project; I'd fork it but using a forked Rust project is quite inconvenient vs, e.g. Python where you can just clone it and go.
Having trouble getting it to work on Ubuntu, the terminals seem to work but do not show any output. Definitely looking forward to when all the issues are ironed out, I'll probably make it a core part of some of my projects.

[ 3.1 ms ] story [ 38.3 ms ] threadI'll try atuin desktop and I hope it succeeds, but I can't say that it solves any particular problem that I have and am aware of.

At first I didn’t know what I wanted to do with it…then I realized basically anything I would want to do more than once should go in here.
One off CSV export from a custom sql query? It’s in Atuin.
Need to onboard a new dev across all our various repos and tools? Shared Atuin runbook.
Basically any kind of manual process I’ve ever needed now lives in Atuin and is almost entirely automated. It’s wonderful.
Used to do all this stuff with Confluence and a bunch of copy-paste. No more.
I, uhh, moved on before I finished it.

”if you run a command like mktemp -d to create a tempflorary directory”
A tempflorary sounds like a pop-up garden.
The CLI is amazing though!
