I’m the post author, and I use this same polyfill. I even install it with the same NPM download method I wrote about.

Yes, pretty much. It’s definitely cool that so many folks here have left positive feedback, but ultimately I don’t have the same bandwidth and motivation that I had when I started …

I’ve thought a lot about this! I’d love to create hardware someday that plugs directly into a keyboard and turns it into a music workstation. I recently came across the Wooting key…

Thanks a bunch! I wonder which gear brands you had in mind when commenting. Teenage Engineering had a big influence on how I make music, and I like to think some of their charm shi…

Hi HN! I’ve been working on Typebeat for a year and a half, and I decided yesterday to make the code public. There’s also a website where you can download the macOS build and try a…

I'd highly recommend "The Beam Book" by Erik Stenman: https://blog.stenmans.org/theBeamBook/ A few years ago, I spent my free time building a Haskell BEAM codegen library, and that…

I submitted the initial version of Multi to HN 2 months ago [0], and the response was much larger than I was expecting. Initially, I just built Multi for my personal use, so I cut …

Thanks, these are nice clean ups! I added a note in the blog post that points to your Swizzler example. The final version of Multi didn't end up needing that NSBundle monkey-patch …

I built a few Swift CLIs before, but this was my first time working with AppKit (the macOS GUI framework)

Yup, that was exactly my workflow as well! And for building CLIs it's quite nice. Once I started using AppKit though, it felt like I kept running into things that weren't quite fin…

Thanks! Honestly my reasoning for avoiding XCode is fairly thin—I just hadn't used it before and didn't have it installed when I started. I imagine if I took the time to learn it, …
