So compared to plain bash without autocomplete and Ctrl+R it may be useful. It is probably a step back for everyone else.

I think it could be much worse than even a plain shell with ^R, as the llm will be slower than the normal history search and probably has less context than the $HISTFILE.

I used VLC in the past but switched to the simple music player after having too many bugs and crashes with VLC on my phone.

One alternative are monadic types like result or maybe, that can contain either a value or an error/no value.

I use both versions actively, the main differences of SCEE compared to StreetComplete are the addtion of more obscure questions (for example building and roof colors, species/genus of trees), allowing direct editing of tags and disabling the gamification/statistics.
