do you mean Trillian, the software that offered a (very themable) frontend to AIM, ICQ, yahoo and (i think) at least 3 more chat services?
the awesomeness of Trillian made it obvious how useless it is for so many different services to coexist while they all offer the same value. still true today
> I built Ledge because I spend much of my day copy/pasting commands from my notes into the terminal. I was inspired by how much cmux helped me organize my terminals - but there was still a split brain between my notes and frequently Run commands. I've been daily-driving it for the past few weeks and use it for deploys, API calls, smoke tests, etc.
I see it might be handy for exploring your own pipelines (and so are things like https://github.com/akavel/up/ ) , but I advise against using this for any serious project management. Nontrivial and/or crucial code-blocks in markdown files is an anti-pattern.
Once i find I'm re-using code from my markdown notes, I make it a script in ${dotfiles}/bin or in ${project}/scripts and put related docs in there. This feels like the inverse of this tool's imposed workflow and has the upside of composability of tools.
Then use something like a makefile to call these tools/scripts behind generic phony targets (or you can roll your own 'project.sh' entry point script if really needed).
It then becomes just `make release`. it is portable already and does not add yet another host dependency on everybody nor a fricking javascript engine.
Ledge doesn't remove the need to write scripts / automations. But for things like complex deploy pipelines there are still many manual / human steps in between. So I use Ledge to run my automation scripts, do some manual checks, based on those run more automations, etc.
wake me up when signal can be used with no significant loss of feature or extra-hoops like signal-cli+SMS on non-google/non-apple devices like my linux desktops / linux phones.
