I was just working on a music improv app for the MacBook trackpad [1] and tried to use Sonic Pi 4 for the backing track (muse) generator but it was too clunky to run a full fledged…

We don’t have static IPs at home in Romania. A restart of the router will just give that person another public IP and they won’t notice any repercussions.

Dev here, thanks! Although it's a pretty well known source in the macOS apps community (lowtechguys.com) with source code available right on the front page ( https://github.com/Fuz…

Wait, so.. how are we supposed to test Intel builds of our macOS apps from now on? I get it that macOS has to evolve, but that doesn't mean all apps have to drop Intel support at t…

Hook this to a lid angle below 30° trigger in https://lowtechguys.com/crank and you can easily make it run on a simple lowering of the lid

Not sure if it's exactly the same, but I had to add a When notification arrives with , do event trigger in my Crank macOS app ( https://lowtechguys.com/crank ) so I can show you ho…

Right, it’s not worth $30/month all year for me because I don’t use it past demo videos for when I publish a new app or large update. Which happens rarely. But if I was that kind o…

A lot of the time it is, I agree. I would love the ability to do more highlighting and less panning. But in a small 700px wide video, zooming is kind of necessary to make it clear …

For me it would make more sense to have something like “unlock for a week” if the dev wants to keep the ongoing revenue model. Of course a lifetime purchase is even better, not sur…

Am I in the minority for thinking ScreenStudio is actually worth the money? The recent video I did for Cling for example ( https://lowtechguys.com/cling ) I’ve had many people ask …

They even have a scrolling 5-star reviews section, clearly generated: https://oneuptime.com/#reviews-title https://github.com/OneUptime/oneuptime/commit/538e40c4ae724e... https://g…

The notch hiding menubar icons is such a stupid problem to have. I waste hours every week trying to help people who send me frustrated emails because they bought one of my apps and…

Thank you for the kind words! Love to hear from people that were helped by my work! That was also my pain point with Lunar, working on a small balcony in a small apartment where th…

There are some things that are only available in Shortcuts because Apple gave the app entitlements to communicate with parts of the system that an AppleScript or other apps can't. …

You can definitely have Claude work with cherri files. Jelly was a confusing experience for me, with JellyCuts becoming closed source and focusing on advertising, then Open-Jellyco…

I've just used this extensively to build 200 Shortcuts for my event-based automation app on macOS [0], because some actions you simply can't do without Shortcuts: changing Focus Mo…

It could, but there's no possibility to apply a LUT to a realtime framebuffer on macOS. But it would have been a clever solution if it was possible.

It's still possible with the older forced HDR + Gamma tone-mapping logic, but it has its limitations. The native unlocking was miles better.

Does everything need to be snark on HN now? What is happening with this place? Those are valid problems affecting real people. For some are just missing conveniences, for others th…

macOS 26 has to be the most breaking version so far, its problems and intended breaking changes making my app dev life so hard this year. Just to name a few: - Reference Presets no…
