While I’ve been dabbling with root dir, Arcitext has grown to nearly 300 users 🤯 Getting new signups every day (10 yesterday), but: despite my efforts, every new user just seems to not do anything. I’ve tried: > Onboarding email flows > Rewards for completing onboarding >

I've just added a new command to root dir. You can now 'apt-get' and install new modules to enhance your terminal experience. For now, there's only one package to install, but that one has been requested by multiple users: vim support. So now you can 'apt-get install vim' and

It’s kind of mindblowing that we live in a time, where you can just write a big-ass prompt, run an errand, and come back to bloated, but functional, code.

With root kernel access, you can use the 'style handle' command to customize your handle appearance like below. You can also further customize your public page with background shaders, color themes and pick a different font. Also, you get analytics features, so you can keep

What is it about root-dir(.)com that makes it attractive? > The UX isn’t friendly > There’s plenty of friction > No quick fixes or fast wins But that’s exactly the point. > The UX isn’t friendly, unless you’re familiar with the command-line > There’s plenty of friction,

Very soon, all users of https://t.co/z4oO4zjC91 is going to be able to chat with rootIRC. All 22 of us :D

Whew, what a weekend. Christmas parties and family functions. It'll be nice to recharge with a full day of coding 😅 Am I the only one that recoups energy from coding and building?
