Thank you very much for your contribution! I am very happy that you feel this is the right project for your first PR :) I have 2 really minor suggestions:
What are your thoughts on this? |
|
Those are great ideas! I will also check out maybe making that file a consolidated list so people don't have to scroll through each session |

Nice! If you go in that direction, I would recommend to split data and representation. For example, I would store the raw data (command distribution) in a JSON file that can be "resumed" and do the output formatting on demand with scusage. |
add 2 parameters: - --file/-f to store the output in a JSON file (directories are automatically created) - --resume to resume statistics from a JSON file previously written with -f see #1

FYI: I did a "proof of concept" implementation on a separate branch ( Unfortunately, I have not been able to test it at all, since I just re-installed my system to play around with wayland and sway :P |

Do you have discord by any chance? Mine is volker1#0001. I have some other ideas I would like to talk to you about. |

Hi, I am really sorry, but I don't have any "real time" channel, mostly because my github projects are purely in my spare time, and that is quite the scarce resource :( Also, I think for a community project, it makes sense to publicly track ideas in an issue tracker. Hope that is still fine for you, I am very interested in your ideas! |

@REALERvolker1 do the changes work for you? if so, i will go ahead and merge them to main. thanks! |

Hello, sorry for the extremely late reply, I had some irl stuff to do. As for testing this, I have yet to do that. It is a lot more polished than my implementation. |
|
no worries, there's no hurry to this. thank you and all the best! |

fixed in #2 |
