I mean... aren't all Show HN sort of adverts? How is this different?
It has a 10$ price tag.
And? It doesn't matter how simple it is, if it's FOSS or not. OP made something and they are showing it to HN. Let's not forget that HN is part of YC, who's sole purpose is to fund companies to make money, not charities.

#15Mac nerds wouldn’t install an app with icon like this.
Oh man, that's sad but true. I've been working on a couple of small (hopefully) useful Mac apps myself, but can't draw or anything like that, and this fact has seriously kept me from putting them on the app store altogether.
While I feel for you not feeling able to publish, is it really that sad that we like good icons? Isn’t one of the important things about the platform that we have high ui demands?

I agree with your general point, but YC does accept non-profit orgs. https://www.ycombinator.com/nonprofits/

I'd argue that UI is different from prettiness of icon. The skill of drawing and the skill of understanding how to make an application easy to use are different.

You are right, I should have phrased it differently, thanks for highlighting this.

#20Hey HN! My name is Julian, and I made Effortless with aracena to solve a problem we were both having: how to focus on exactly one thing at a time. Effortless displays my current task, and a countdown timer in the menu bar, and although it sounds silly, it means that I have a constant visual reminder of what I should be working on. Effortless was also a great excuse to learn Swift and native Mac app development. I'm happy to answer any questions about the app or the development process, although it's my birthday so I might be a little slow to respond. If you have any feedback or want a trial code to test Effortless out feel free to write me at julian@effortless.app . Thanks!
