For me it was the open source e-ink display TRMNL[2] which I learned about via ATP and Snazzy labs[1].

Would appreciate if you could share some examples from your workflow!
I don't mind bash and the various cli programs I used to use for the tasks I was doing at the cli. However I was forced years ago to learn powershell. Now syntax aside I was able to use powershells native functionality to do things I'd have to call other programs for, read and process CSV, JSON, XML, etc. Nushell is like powershell but a much better syntax and I prefer the data model and love the output.
My main workflows consist of exploring data, cleaning it, and outputting what I need. Nushell has this covered.
* KHelpCenter - KDE GUI alternative interface for manpages
* Hotspot - GUI for perf profiler - https://github.com/KDAB/hotspot
I think tldr is similar though
