Show HN: Zenta – Mindfulness for Terminal Users
Great job!
I was looking for an app/cli that lets me adjust breathing patterns on the fly (think of extending the hold duration for 0.5s and a while after for instance extend the outbreathe duration 1s, while having my eyes closed using my bluetooth controller). Finding something like this on any app store with its thousands of bloated apps seems quite hopeless and it's a relatively simple feature. Can I hope for your kindness to implement something like that?
(I'm using 8bitdo controller and mapping of buttons is possible via keyd, so no need for adding configurations, any key combo would do).
I'm also happy for anyone else pointing me to a solution.
Keep on doing good!
(Happy to follow your repo if I can hope for this feature. No worries, I'm a patient man.)
Pretty cool. Have you thought about auto triggering a need for a breath at certain intervals?
I always love this kind of silly tui tools. Thanks for sharing!
Thumbs up for the philosophy. This is the way.
Thanks for this. We need more of this kind of energy in the world.
no analytics, no numbers, love that!
Any plans for additional commands? I was thinking that a 'focus' command with a short to-do list (perhaps paired with some Stoic quips) could be useful in keeping one on track over the course of the day.
Great.
I only get a line animation in the MacOS terminal app, under zsh, it doesn't look like the description.
Well that's just neat, thanks for sharing!
This is quite nice! I found the name zenta slightly inconvenient to remember and type, so I renamed the executable to 'relax', but the help messages still say 'zenta'. As a small fix, maybe you can make the help messages print argv[0] as the executable name?
Nice! Would be cool if implemented also as a progress bar.. :)
Looks great, though I must say I am not a huge fan of the yoga-namaste-style theme. Reminds me of spas where the "relaxing" music is stock ambient crap.
If I had more time, I'd theme it with a more rock n roll approach.
quite original, bringing mindfulness to coding good luck with it
Where do I put my OpenAi key though or are you saying this doesn’t even need a LLM :) /s

This is elegant and tasteful in all the right ways. Really nice work!
