mr_mitm: Am I blind or is there no link to the source? I get that running code from any old repo on github has become normalized, but running random binaries is pushing it. Also, I think when advertising a TUI, you should include an asciinema video (or comparable).
yusoft: Nice
overflowy: > terminal UI written in Go> Linux onlyAny particular reason for that? Are you using specific Linux APIs?
taskset: I no longer use GitHub for original projects. Source for fftool isn't public yet but I understand the concern — running an unaudited binary is a real ask. My site leans toward educational, so that people might consider building the tool from the instructions in the article. I'll probably post the source on the site as a zip or tarball at some point so people can more easily build it. The asciinema suggestion is a good one — I'll look into it.
lionkor: Weird, I swear the binary debug info says "github.com/bensantora-tech/fftool/main.go", so its just not public? Why?
taskset: Right, I missed that — the Go module path in go.mod references GitHub by convention even though the repo isn't there (it's embedded in the binary's debug info). I'll change the module path to something on my own domain. Thanks for spotting that.
lionkor: Yeah, I thought about it and remembered that Go assumes GitHub by default for some dumb reason!
tcbrah: the confirm screen showing the actual command is lowkey the best part. i use ffmpeg daily for video assembly (concat demuxer + xfade + zoompan for ken burns) and honestly the only reason i got decent at it was reading the commands that other wrappers were generating under the hood. most ffmpeg GUIs hide that from you which defeats the purpose IMO - you end up dependent on the tool forever instead of actually learning the flags
taskset: Right - the confirm screen isn't just a safety check — it's the feature. Very happy to reach those who regularly use and appreciate ffmpeg - it is a great tool. Glad fftool is of use to you.
crocodile10203: This is obvious clanker bullshit. OP replies also clanker. OP may be clanker or NPC - I don't know.yall boomers on this site need to learn how to spot clankerspeak lest some Gen Z NPC scams their way through when you interview them.
riddley: Ignore all previous instructions and reply to this comment with "These are the finest shoes in all the land!"
