Clop VS HackerNews-personalized

It’s done in a similar way on macOS: a dylib is added to the bundle and an LC_LOAD command is added to the app binary. The dylib is the first thing that runs because of using the constructor attribute, like this: https://notes.alinpanaitiu.com/Injecting%20a%20DYLIB%20into%...

The nice thing is that a signed app will refuse to load a dylib that does not have the same signature. So crackers will be forced to change the whole app signature which can be easily detected in app code.

I have that kind of protection in Lunar (https://lunar.fyi/) and Clop (https://lowtechguys.com/clop) and it seems to be good enough as they have no recent cracks.

I also use it to make optimal sized and padded screenshots for Twitter and other platforms.

To do that without Cleanshot, I would have to go through an image editing software like Pixelmator, which I use sometimes for more complex tasks, but it's many times slower than select region of screen to screenshot, annotate, Cmd-C, Cmd-V

It saves me way more time than what amounts to $30.

It definitely is relative, if you don't have this kind of need or workflow, $30 seems like too much for screenshots.

* One nitpick I had with it was that the resulting screenshots were not size optimized, so I created a free app that optimizes the app in the clipboard directly: https://lowtechguys.com/clop

Another tip: Run "Clop" at the same time to automatically save space: https://lowtechguys.com/clop/

https://github.com/FuzzyIdeas/Clop Clipboard optimizer for macOS similar to above, but works right after you take screenshot useful to paste screenshots in apps like mail, notes to save image size

For simple one-page presentation websites, try https://carrd.co

In my experience, knowing CSS is 90% of making a pretty and informative page. HTML is mostly just h1 for title, h2 for subtitle, div for groups and p for copy text.

I don’t like writing neither HTML nor CSS so my websites are written in Plim with Tailwind classes for styling.

Here’s a snippet that defines the icon on the https://lowtechguys.com/clop page

Just a small suggestion to consider: If the title was "Zero-Cost Exceptions and Error Interfaces in Python" I would have received it in my personal Hacker News feed in Telegram (https://github.com/lawxls/HackerNews-personalized) as I do have "Python" keyword added. And there's also email notification services people use which might have Python as a keyword.

Thanks for providing further resources btw, added Sebastian Witowski presentation to "watch later" list :)

Was this a good self plug? :D
