AI Analysis

●MidCozy

Yet another project switcher, but the flat-folder YAML catalog is a nice touch.

Strengths
  • •Fuzzy search integration with fzf makes jumping between contexts fast.
  • •Tags live in a single YAML file, avoiding scattered config files everywhere.
Weaknesses
  • •Flat folder structure breaks down quickly once you have hundreds of projects.
  • •Doesn't solve the actual problem of project discovery, just navigation.

Post Description

Proj (github:whizhuii/proj) puts everything in one folder, flat, with a category tag on each project: stable, archived, experiment. Each project lives in one directory its whole life — only the tag changes.

Proj has two ways to jump to a project:

Fuzzy jump: type proj, filter by tag or name, Enter (fzf mode). Direct jump: proj <tag>/<project> (pass-like mode).

Categories are yours to define — stable, archived, experiment, whatever fits. Change anytime; only the YAML catalog updates.

Convenient. Clean. Flexible.
