An app that persists your OS state as a "context" - saving and loading your open applications, their windows, tabs, open files/documents and so on. Started because of frequent multitasking heavy work with limited resources, and I've found it to facilitate human context switching. Open Beta (macOS) as soon as I finish license verification and delta updates. https://cleave.app Also working through Penetration Testing w…

This is a super cool idea. I find that too often I have a bajillion applications open and get lost. Currently I try and partition by desktop but everything blends together after a while.

Will this be free / will there be an unlimited length demo version?

I'm building a text editor in Nim that is rendered with OpenGL. I haven't figured out why that's useful yet...

I'm trying to make Python's `pathlib.Path` something you can readily subclass and use for S3/FTP/whatever: https://discuss.python.org/t/make-pathlib-extensible/3428

Currently working my way thru a bunch of preparatory bugfixes: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TicFDMudKKA6CZcrscg1...

I'm working on a DiC library[1] for TypeScript that supports autowiring interfaces, array of types and generics without decorators by leveraging typescript's compiler API.

To be more exact, it visits the entire project's AST and generates mapping code (creates an AST that is outputed by the compiler to valid ts/js).

A portal/console for customers of saas products.

Every time I launch a new idea, I hate wasting my time on writing some basic customer facing admin/console where customers can see their invoices, change payment method, access support tickets, make some configuration change.

I am creating something more generic where I can just plug in firebase, zendesk, stripe, Braintree etc api Keys and all the base functionality is there. Easily extendable through react plugins.

I’m working on HeadlessTesting.com - launched last month.

It is a grid of browsers; currently Chrome, Firefox and Edge, which can be used to run Puppeteer and Playwright scripts.

Your existing Puppeteer and Playwright scripts can be easily configured to connect to our grid. The advantage for the user is scalability, no maintenance and setup of infrastructure and support.

Usecases include generating PDFs and screenshot and headless browser testing.

Just relaunched - tierlist.fyi -

Its an aggregator for tech company rankings in tier list format. Takes all user generated tier lists, combines them, and shows a “master” list.

I'm catching up on movie watching.

For the last 10+ years, I've been collecting a list of any movie mentioned on reddit or HN as being good or excellent. I also will add the Netflix top 100 DVDs each month (yes, I'm still a DVD Netflix subscriber!). I'll also add all of the academy award nominated movies (although most of those already show up in the Netflix 100).

That list has grown to about 650 movies now (fun fact, Netflix will only let your queue be 500 movies per profile).

They are all stored in my Netflix queue, so I can't share the list.

My first task is figuring out a better way to maintain the list outside of Netflix, and a way to export the Netflix list to the new method, as well as having it auto-import some top films lists automatically.

If anyone has any suggestions on what to use to keep track of the list or any easily importable "top movies" lists, I'd love to hear them!
