Shameless plug: I've been working on strudel [0], a CLI that uses a lot of the same ideas in this post and allows you to build/sign/notarize Mac (and iOS) apps without touching Xco…

Hi HN! I built an open source macOS app that allows you to unlock your SSH and GPG key passphrases with Touch ID. You can also store secrets and inject them into your dev environme…

Cool! This looks like go/ links, the internal URL shortener that Google uses and which a lot of other tech companies subsequently adopted (I wrote about it here: http://blog.goatco…

One cool little thing you could add is a javascript widget on the front page, where people could paste in their link to a markdown file, and have it automatically formatted as a Ma…

For what it's worth, Dropbox does have an alternative permissions model where the app is sandboxed into its own folder. I used it recently for a project of mine, and it was really …
