Reminds me of customizing WindowMaker's dock with system monitor widgets[1]. I wonder how quickly (or if at all) the macOS dock responds to changes to an app's icon...

The graphs on this look really close to how the ones in iStat Menus 6 look. I love the aesthetics of this app and how it shows all the graphs, but wonder if it has the ability to show things like temperatures and powers

iStat Menus works great on Big Sur - they keep it updated. Temp and Power included!

I can't help but notice that this is being distributed via Apple.

Pretty soon you'll only be able to get Mac apps from the app store.

It's coming.

Not on a mac right now, is there an alternative page that shows the UI, the screenshots on the app store in firefox are tiny.

I was too wondering why the screenshots are so low res... is it because I have some apple domains blocked like ocsp?

nope, you’re seeing correctly - it’s a very low-functionality site that’s primary role is to open the App Store app (only works from Safari, I believe). The full images are available in the appstore.

Mac App Store is nothing new, it was launched 10 years ago.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Wow, that went fast.

I believe bots scrape the internet for these, unfortunately :(

I assume these codes are limited to just this app? What would the bots do with individual licenses?

We’ve been hearing that refrain for years. It obviously can’t be disproven, but if you’d care to put a time bound on that statement, I’d be happy to find a site where we can place a bet against it.
