Some apps I really like are on sale. Here are some suggestions: Web Development: - ProxyMan - https://proxyman.io/ — web debugging proxy (30% off the first year) - Tower - https://www.git-tower.com/ — powerful Git Client (50% off the first year) - DevUtils - https://devutils.com/ — set of small developer tools (50% off) For overall productivity: - BetterTouchTool - https://folivora.ai/ — customize input devices (50%…

+1 for DevUtils

$40/year on regular pricing sounds quite expensive for stuff you have other means of accomplishing.

Love BetterTouchTool. It's a must-have to customize your Mac, keyboard shortcuts, automate things you do regularly, etc.

No idea why custom gesture isn't baked in macOS itself yet.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Anyone else bothered that they do not specify the energy in watt-hour? Back when USB was 5V it was pretty easy to do the conversion from Ah, how does it work now that USB can negotiate voltage dynamically?

You should be able to calculate the watt hours based on the voltage of the internal batteries. Its likely a 3.7v lithium, so this anker bank would be 3.7v x 24,000mAh = 88.8Wh

The issue is comparable to mileage numbers... I dont trust that at all.

Usually they just multiply the number of cells with their "rated" mAh-value, but who knows what their cutoff voltage is. Also you need to integrate over the voltage (which keeps falling during discharge) and the discharge graph also depends on how much power you draw. Then the 4.2V=>5V (or 9..19V for USB PD) conversion losses are also not counted.

I'm doing a 50% off sale for my app Recut, https://getrecut.com It's a simplified video editor that removes pauses and dead air, and creates a cut list you can then import into a "real" editor. Saves a bunch of time if you're doing talking-head videos, vlogging, podcasts, screencasts... the sorts of content where the first step of editing is to chop out the long pauses and mistakes. I originally built it because I wa…

Looks nice I probably will pick it up - any thought about adding a "filler" word detection/removal such as "umms" and "ahhs"?

Someone compiled a big list of deals on apps, SaaS software, utilities, books, courses, etc and seems to be taking PRs: https://github.com/trungdq88/Awesome-Black-Friday-Cyber-Mond...

I mean, it's worth it because it's been so helpful, but I bought Recut (which takes the silences out of video editing and is on that list) a couple of weeks ago, and now it's 50% off. I wonder if marketers ever think about how black friday sales annoy customers.

Hey, Recut creator here :) Glad to hear it's helpful! I also hate this feeling of missing a sale by mere days, so I've been offering partial refunds to folks that bought very recently. Feel free to shoot me an email! (in my profile)
