You should be able to press 'i' to enter 'insert' mode then the site should work.


You may be thinking of [Homerow](https://www.homerow.app/) for Macos. Its okay for popups that I used to need a mouse for. There's another app that does similar "Vimium for Desktop" but it wasn't as responsive and sometimes focus would get stuck, but I forgot that software's name.


Oh nice, thanks for sharing this. I don't think it was homerow (or it has evolved a lot).

I'll give this one a go to see if this helps me touch less my mouse


You might be thinking of Shortcat. I've been using it for a while and it mostly works but doesn't seem as polished as Homerow. Going to give that one a try now.

Thanks for sharing will try this out.


I would like to see the details of this, do you have the source available publicly or a blog post about it?


Sadly no; internal work stuff.


Please share some of your code, I would like to see and get a feel for some personal ideas.


I use Thermal Printer for a different use-case (TTRPG stuff). Feel free to check it out :)

wow I love this. I like using spellcards but havent had a good solution for items... might need to buy a receipt printer now.


I am currently working on an "input" interface to scan resposnes that I write from my typewriter and am planning on releasing a github repo on it when im done. conveniently you can type directly on the receipt printer if the response is short.

Right now all my credentials are hardcoded so i can't push out what I have without some cleanup, but I can point you to some of the libraries: python-escpos and nfcpy were what I used for the bulk of it.


I am interested to give this a try if you share.

Hello, I'm looking for a senior SWE role may I submit a resume to you. I wrote it myself without chatGPT :) but I would be curious if I appear like some who does use chatGPT.

Hello, my name is Michael Toohig, I have recently returned to the United States after working the past decade in the South Pacific island nation of Vanuatu. I worked on a dozen greenfield projects from whiteboarding to deployment as a solo-developer or the sole technical member of some teams. I've worked with many different technologies and built a variety of products and subsequently have become a strong generalist covering backend, frontend and devOps but a preference for backend work.

Looking for any kind of role with preference for backend but I would prefer a field that touches upon a topic that interests me such as drones, computer vision, GIS, or services that benefit remote or developing markets.

I am a full stack developer with preference for backend work nearing a decade of professional experience. Recently repatriated to the USA after my wife got her green card last April. Prior was working in my wife's home country and had my own consultancy building various software solutions for local businesses and for contracts. I worked from whiteboard to deployment and comfortable up and down the stack from devops to frontend. I've built a number of systems from web scrapers, GIS applications, VOD streaming services, data processing pipelines and offline-first progressive web apps.
