#213I'm sick and tired of audiophile level bs floating around online forums and I want to create a simple tool for people to fiddle around with different settings to see what really impacts their speed while cycling.
As usual - no plans for monetization whatsoever. Nothing fancy either, just an elaborated weekend project.
If you like the idea and want to help with graphic design and or html just let me know. :)

#217The app is nearly completed, and Grok (preview in Copilot, currently free) wrote most of the CRUD pages with Entity Framework. Of course, it does get things wrong, and I use Claude 4 to fix the issues. (i'm a C# dev, I review code generated by Grok sometimes.)

#219- rich markdown editor (via mdxeditor.dev) and source (codemirror6)
- uses indexeddb and optionally opfs (select a directory on your local hd)
- some service worker hacks to do seamless image processing (jpg/png -> webp), storage and retrieval
- document snapshot history, thumbnail preview with iframe and snapdom: html->img sorcery
- live previews and compilations
- loads very quickly, navigation and cold starts, images make heavy use of the Cache api
- use in-browser git (thanks isomorphic-git) for version control; optionally sync with github via cors proxy (host your own if you want)
- best of all completely free to use. 99.5% finished MIT github repo dropping soon ;)

#220It augments your existing muscle memory: a quick tap of a shortcut switches apps like normal, but holding it opens a powerful interface with features like:
Unified Search: Instantly find any window, app, or browser tab.
Scopes: Save and restore entire window layouts for different projects (perfect for after you unplug a monitor).
Placement Modes: Snap windows to screen halves as you switch to them.
The goal is to make the OS feel as fast as my other tools. I'm always looking for feedback on how to make window management less frustrating!
