Am I blind or is there no link to the source? I get that running code from any old repo on github has become normalized, but running random binaries is pushing it. Also, I think when advertising a TUI, you should include an asciinema video (or comparable).

Any particular reason for that? Are you using specific Linux APIs?
Just to clarify, this looks like a super helpful utility, something that I would personally use. The issue is that I noticed the installation instructions include a link to a prebuilt binary hosted on your website. Without providing access to the source code, you're asking users to trust executing an unknown binary on their system.

Why is the source being distributed as an archive? The whole thing smells weird. I'd be cautious. Glad I'm using a VPN right now

Speaking of ffmpeg tools, someone on HN showed a TUI for ffmpeg that let you trim a video, with a preview in your terminal so you could trim precisely.
I've tried searching for the comment but without any luck, if anyone have a suggestion for the name, I would be grateful.

the confirm screen showing the actual command is lowkey the best part. i use ffmpeg daily for video assembly (concat demuxer + xfade + zoompan for ken burns) and honestly the only reason i got decent at it was reading the commands that other wrappers were generating under the hood. most ffmpeg GUIs hide that from you which defeats the purpose IMO - you end up dependent on the tool forever instead of actually learning the flags

This is obvious clanker bullshit. OP replies also clanker. OP may be clanker or NPC - I don't know.
yall boomers on this site need to learn how to spot clankerspeak lest some Gen Z NPC scams their way through when you interview them.
