    Show HN: Remind – schedule Claude Code on your Mac

    Claude Code can't schedule itself locally on your Mac, so I made Remind. Just add a reminder to the "Remind" list in Reminders with a due time and your prompt as the notes. Remind …

    Furwall is a tiny macOS menu bar app. While you're at the keyboard or mouse, the FaceTime camera looks for a human face or upper body. When it doesn't find one, the keyboard stops …

    Based on my research the ivar has been stable since macOS 13. I'll keep things up to date if that ever changes... To your second question, it's mostly for agents to pull icons as t…

    You're right. Just flipped the default to SVG on main. Honest answer: SVG wasn't fully working during early dev, so PDF was the working default and it stuck. Should've revisited.

    Thanks! I'm not sure how animations would translate into these exported formats. SF Symbols animations are typically state driven, and that doesn't really translate to a standalone…

    Right, these are licensed by Apple for UI use on Apple platforms only. The README has a "Before you use this" callout up top about this. sfsym is an export tool; what you do with t…

    I found myself reaching for SF Symbols' 'Copy Image As…' quite often during agentic design sessions, so I made a command-line tool that the agent can use by itself. It exports Appl…

    I didn’t have to amend the soil. Thyme actually does well in poor soil conditions! As for planting you’ll have to buy plugs if you want consistency. These varieties if grown from s…

    I'm in Albuquerque (zone 7). I'm not sure this is a great kid lawn because while it will hold up to foot traffic, it might get kind of torn up if kids are running around on it a lo…

    iOS 11 introduces a "safe area" to lay things out in where they won't be occluded. It's meant an extra couple lines of code — not a big deal at all.
