February 2026 update

2 March 2026

Hey,

You’re receiving this email because you bought a Posh TUI license or subscribed. This is my Posh TUI update for February 2026.

Things are progressing faster than I expected. This month I tracked 56 hours of work on Posh TUI–related projects, and there’s a lot to show for it.

Doczilla

Docsets builder on the Hetzner server already supports two basic workflows for a couple of gems. I’m working on RDoc integration now.

After that: YAML → Markdown…

Bunny.net, please approve my S3 access application. I really like Hetzner, but I don’t like their S3 solution.

*-to-markdown gems

I’ve been working on the yard-markdown and rdoc-markdown gems.

It’s tedious work: continuously tweaking the Markdown templates and rebuilding projects to validate the results. And I had to do that for both YARD and RDoc.

It was fun to figure out how to build these templates, but building them from scratch is a different story. It was difficult to get consistently good results with rdoc-markdown in particular.

I’ve been putting off work on these gems for a long while. But one evening I asked: why not “Ralph loop” it?

I knew there were multiple issues, but instead of writing out a list, I told an LLM what the gem is about, that it needs fixes, and gave it good ways to test and validate changes.

In about 4 hours, the LLM produced a decent result for the rdoc-markdown gem. It resolved all known issues at that point, but introduced a few small bugs (which I cleaned up later).

I ran the same process twice: for yard-markdown and for rdoc-markdown. Most of the structure was already there, including all the test data. The LLM nailed the template part better than I could.

My goal for next month is to finish Doczilla and have docsets for the top 100 gems available in Posh TUI. A new Posh TUI version should follow shortly to integrate with new docsets system.

Thank you for the support.
