Inspiration
I have a good habit of exploring new things and trying out different ideas, whether it’s scripting or Linux-related tasks. Often, I find myself diving into scripting projects or experimenting with tools, even if it starts with just sitting around and tinkering.
One of my inspirations has been watching Chris Titus Tech's live streams and videos. Chris has been working on an amazing project called linutil. It gave me the idea to start building my own project, but in my own unique way. Initially, my project was quite basic—just a script with a whiptail-based TUI. It felt somewhat boring and clunky at the time.
Later, I discovered another inspiring creator, ML4W (My Linux For Work), whose Hyprland scripts and configurations are quite popular. After exploring their repository, I noticed they used tools like gum and figlet in their scripts. I was amazed to see how these tools added flair to bash scripting.
Inspired by this, I returned to my own scripting work and implemented gum and figlet for enhanced ASCII text and user interactivity. It wasn’t an instant success—the development process took time and effort—but day by day, my script became more polished. Now, I’m quite proud of what I’ve built, and I truly enjoy using these tools in my work.
I want to thank both Chris Titus Tech and ML4W for being such incredible sources of ideas and inspiration. While I put in the work, their creativity and contributions to the Linux community have played a big role in shaping my own journey. 😊
