AutoRaise - A Focus-Follows-Mouse Implementation on Steroids
I am hesitant on whether to classify your feature request under AutoRaise or FinderFix as it seems to belong halfway between the two apps. Do you mind submitting it meanwhile to the main synappser repo until I decide where it belongs? Thank you.

A Roadmap for FinderFix
On May 24th, I opened FinderFix to public beta. A couple of days later, I noticed a sudden surge in the number of downloads. I am a regular reader of HN and Reddit where I have seen software thrust overnight into the limelight, so my first guess was that someone had posted about it. Seeing nothing unusual on HN, I headed to the other usual suspect and there it was on Reddit!

Ask HN: 如今,保持匿名开发者的身份仍然是可以想象的吗? (Ask HN: Is it still conceivable to remain an anonymous developer nowadays?)
I was caught completely off guard by FinderFix (https://synappser.github.io/apps/finderfix/), the first application I'm opening to public beta, making the top row on Reddit a couple of weeks ago. This sudden limelight is both an opportunity and a challenge.

Ask HN: Is it still conceivable to remain an anonymous developer nowadays?
HN has been my morning coffee favourite read for years now but it's my very first post. I'm an old man, so please bare with me.
I am a seasoned systems architect and developer, now retired. While I was tempted in the first few weeks of my retirement to just turn the page and let it go, I remembered how much I used to enjoy writing small utilities for my own daily workflows. A year ago, I asked my fellow forum members (a Mac-dedicated one) if they would like to beta test some of my applications (and oh, they did). I got high quality feedback I would not have gotten elsewhere. I kept striving to answer their feature requests and today many of my first beta testers are insisting that my applications have outgrown the private beta.

I am not complaining. Any publicity is good publicity and I got this kind of genuine enthusiastic feedback: "OH MY GOD! Bro you’re a god sent. Thanks man I love this app. Also that Cmd + X for cut/paste. Oof so good!".
I however cherish anonymity and I laud the Internet for allowing me to enforce it. I am thus publishing my software under a pseudonym (a pen name, if you prefer) with a free Apple Developer Certificate. How long will I be able, with Apple's current Gatekeeper policy, to preserve my anonymity if I were to turn this hobby into a real business, albeit a small one?
For more context, please refer to a couple posts of mine (a manifesto of my core ethos):

I guess this is a tough question to answer, unless you're an Apple insider, but I'd really appreciate any guidance you could give me.
Thank you

macOS 13.5 no longer allows setting system wide ulimits
A large number of extremely talented engineers might beg to differ. Everything you listed as an issue has a solution. Like any operating system, you have to spend the time to learn the intricacies of how it works and to customize it to your liking. For me, must haves are Alfred to replace spotlight, my dotfiles which change a ton of defaults in various apps like finder, the dock, etc, setup key repeat, iterm2 colors and profile, etc. divvy and magnet for window management. Caffeine to prevent sleep. Stats open source menu monitors to replace istatmenus
I’m sure there are newer equivalents to what I’ve listed. I’ve been using those programs for years.

Just got MBP M1 Pro. Any tips for me?
I guess the awesome Mac list is a solid place to start generally speaking, since there are a lot of apps of all kinds of use cases in there. Personally, I especially love - Raycast (replacement for spotlight, check out Alfred as well) - Bartender (to tidy up the menu bar) - AltTab (gives you a Windows like app switcher) - Rectangle (windows like window management) - purepaste (let’s you paste text without formatting)
