I've been making native Mac utility apps to solve some of my (and hopefully others') needs. One is called WhimFiles and is a file manager for Mac that is only 9 MB. It started out …

Hold down the right mouse button (or two fingers on a trackpad) and a panel opens at your cursor. Clipboard history, snippets, favorite apps, folders, files, and a timer. A short r…

No worries. There were some minor initial setup/hiccups in the beginning of the project but overall I'm very happy with using .NET with Native AOT.

There's no web renderer at all. The UI is native AppKit (NSTableView, NSOutlineView, NSPanel, etc.) driven from C#/.NET via P/Invoke. It uses real Cocoa controls, not HTML/CSS in a…

Not MAUI. It's .NET's macOS target (net10.0-macos, the macos workload that descends from Xamarin.Mac), which ships C# bindings for the native Apple frameworks. So the UI is plain A…

My Downloads folder had been left unkept for a really long time and cleaning it up using Finder was quite cumbersome. So I started creating a simple app to help me filter out and d…

True. But it can be very helpful for learning new things.

Maybe not go live life completely offline. Just throw out the bad parts and keep the good. There's plenty of better things to do instead of doomscrolling, like taking a walk throug…

There's also the sunk cost fallacy. Instead of removing code/features that it's becoming more and more obvious were a bad idea to begin with they get kept in the code base causing …

I created a 2D platformer inspired by the classic Mario games. The game is called Jolly Land Adventure and I made it because I wanted a simple platformer that's easy to just pick u…
