I shipped v0.2.0 of ghostty-theme-picker, a two-column TUI theme browser for Ghostty that lets me compare dark and light themes side by side, star favorites, and keep jump history while I browse. The new release adds forward history and persistent browse state, but the engineering bit I especially like is leaning on a functional core and imperative shell, so most of the state transitions stay pure and surprisingly testable even though the app lives in the terminal. I also recorded a short demo below so I have a visual snapshot of how it feels in motion.

Published Bypassing the Meta Horizon Link Drive Check in CrossOver, a write-up of the narrow binary patch that got Meta Horizon Link past its CrossOver drive eligibility check.
