Eric Going to try to put together a console client for Sublevel, because why not? Something like rainbowstream.org is for Twitter. In other news; rowing machines are my new favourite thing.
Mark Dain CLI Client for Sublevel would be great! Although based on recent posts are you going to write this in Node?
Eric Probably, I know that might upset people haha. I enjoy working with JS so for a hobby project I'm set to use it.
Mark Dain Personally I'd prefer it be written in Go, Rust or some language I can compile easily and run without too much hassle. Languages like Node, Python and Ruby seem to never run for me. It's a source of frustration when I see a cool program written in Python as I know I'll never be able to use it. Thankfully tides are turning and most of the cool stuff posted today is written in Go.
Eric Never run? Are you installing the required programs to use them?
Mark Dain Of course.

Eric I felt rude just asking that, any clues as to what's going wrong?
Mark Dain I've given up trying to diagnose why Python and similar languages never run. When I raise issues they're usually closed or I'm given yet more instructions that don't actually work. One repo I tried for more than an hour to get it to run, unsuccessfully. It's a massive productivity drain. Nowadays I just sigh and close the tab when I see a GitHub repo that uses a language that I can't run.
