https://notepad95.com/ I still use regular notepad.exe and text files to take meeting notes. But I thought it'd be fun to have a seperate browser tab for it.

https://github.com/nickbarth/closedbots/ I was also trying to do a simplified openclaw type gui using codex. The idea being its just desktop automation, but running through codex by sending codex screenshots and asking it to complete the steps in your automation via clicks and keypresses via robotgo.

Tried using doing some desktop automation by sending codex screenshots and stepping through generated instructions. It's rough, but it (mostly) works. In the screenshot it accidentally presses 71336 haha.

Cool idea! I actually do something similar albeit without sorting. The idea is if you check out a remote branch it'll track it.

  gbb() {
    eval $(echo git checkout "$(git branch --all \
                   | fzf --height 10 \
                   | tr -d '[:space:]' \
                   | tr -d '*' \
                   | sed 's/remotes\//\-\-track /g')")
  }

Aha Tcl/Tk makes writing desktop apps fun! In my system admin days I used it for little UI's to interface with my bash scripts. Running scripts or little visualization tools on remote servers with X forwarding was pretty nifty too!

This is awesome! I see you have tkinter, but could you guys add tcl / tk as a language please! It'd be awesome to have tcl / tk apps on the web.
