#812https://cleave.app Cleave is an application that lets users persist OS state as a "context" - saving and loading open applications, their windows (and their positions), tabs, open files/documents and so on. Think of it as a workspace or project manager from an IDE, but on the OS-level. Started because of frequent multitasking of heavy work with limited resources. Made it because I wanted to switch between studying, w…
Nice. My solution to this (on arch linux) was to maintain a script that would open the stuff I need on specific workspaces. I'd always need the following to get work done:
1. Browser on workspace 1 2. Pycharm/IDE on workspace 2 3. Terminals ssh-ed into the compute server on workspace 3 4. Workspace 4 is empty - I use this as my scratch workspace 5. Workspace 5 contains slack and spotify
i3 provides you a way to map each application to each workspace. So it was pretty easy to get ^ this setup at the press of a button.

#813I'm working on an app to transcribe, edit and share all your video-conversations: https://spoke.app/
The idea behind it two-fold:
- people spend too much time in video-conferences as "by-standers" when receiving a summary of those conversations would be amply sufficient
- video-conferences transmit a ton of information that disappear into ether, or have to be written down.

#814An app to help couples learn each other's languages ( https://learncoupling.com ) My wife is Chinese, and I've been learning Cantonese and Mandarin off-and-on on my own for years. For many reasons, I recognize it's extremely difficult to make it work to acquire a language with the help of a romantic partner. I even had a friend who's wife was a doctorate in French language education but completely failed to use her a…
This is amazing. I can see this working in long-distance relationships as well. Super nice product! Subscribed to newsletter as well

This is awesome. I have found myself needing such a tool many times. I'm using tab managers in Chrome but this looks so much better. Good luck!

#816Hi! Not exactly something I build, but I'm working on expanding my YouTube channel. If you're interested, I make tutorials video for Django, Vue, ++ :-)

#817Building an alt/az mount to track satellites/aircraft/drones with an antenna. At this point it would’ve been cheaper just to buy a commercial mount, but it’s been a fun learning experience.
I’m using brushless motors in a direct-drive configuration so the ’tracker’ is nearly silent and can track quite rapidly. Have a 20 hour print running right now, hope to have it running in some capacity in a few weeks and prove to my kiddo that i can finish a project lol.

#818Still working on search.datao.net.
A search engine for the Linked Open Data (DBPedia, Wikidata, LinkedMDB, LinkedGeoData). All the technological stack is pretty much on (with a visual SPARQL query builder, and a ETL to elasticsearch), but the UX is terrible (I am no front end dev).

#819A macOS app to quickly create iOS apps and generate their SwiftUI code: https://purecreek.com/vulcan
I released the MVP in November, which only allowed structuring the navigation of an app. Since then, I released incremental updates adding more and more content, covering the most common iOS UIs.
The idea is to get it to be a full-fledged editor, but not as complex as to lose its initial purpose of creating apps quickly with a few clicks to save time on boilerplate code.
