Can you share info about UI framework you using? Looks nice.

#133Last fall, during covid-19, I started working on an app to use my iPhone as a webcam for my Mac. I had some interest in it, so I recently released it publicly last month. There are similar apps out there, but to my knowledge my app is the only one that is both 100% free and supports 1080p @ 30 FPS. Hope any of you find it useful: https://webcamplus.app
I love you for this. I was pulling my hair out trying to hack something together using the crappy apps out there for it. Can’t believe it’s not a native feature. Excited to try this and send it to some friends facing similar issues!

#136I just launched Writxt[0] a “walkthrough” to let you setup your own SMS to blog platform. I also put up a stupid side project ThriftyName[1] where you get a brand name for $5. [0]: https://writxt.fun [1]: https://thrifty.name
Another person posted https://phasedust.com/ the other day. I thought it was a great idea. I think Writxt might be better for me. The instructions are pretty easy to follow. I am going to try it out this weekend. Thank you.
That’s actually the post that inspired me! (I even commented on that original posting[0])
Please let me know if you run into any issues along the way.

That is awesome to hear! Website looks great. Did it take some time to gain traction/users?

#138Dotfilehub: https://dotfilehub.com I've always found various solutions that use git for sharing configuration files cumbersome. I set out to make my own simple version control system, and a lightweight web application where I can browse and edit them remotely. The main idea is that paths are aliased to simple names, so I can say `dotfile pull i3` and it will install https://dotfilehub.com/knoebber/i3 to ~/.config/i3/…
Pretty cool. The kind of thing I’d never look for, but now want to explore.
I’ve seen some awesome looking terminals / setups while watching programming demos / tutorials.
I would totally try their setup if they had a link to it via your site.
Likewise, any sort of preview / screen shot on your site would be awesome.
Well executed thus far.

I'm actually just using styled components and styling everything one-off (trying to re-use components as much as possible to maintain some sense of cohesiveness). Started building a design system in Figma awhile back, but realized how much time I was spending on something that wasn't adding value and backed off.
