Apple doesn't allow you to change macOS cursor anymore
Especially because that repo hasn't been updated in ~4 years and the link to the authors site at http://www.alexzielenski.com/ is dead.
Yes, it's my impression that the submission link should be https://github.com/alexzielenski/Mousecape/issues/219

I created a fun cursor for my Mac using Mousescape.
I was looking for a way to use custom cursors for my Mac when I came across a cool app called Mousecape that allows you to do just that. Unfortunately, there isn't a strong community creating cursors for it so I decided to give it a crack. You can snag the files here https://github.com/obatola/mousecape-hand-cursor.

macOS Cursors
I rarely use Macs, but a quick search found https://github.com/alexzielenski/Mousecape
This got me wondering how I could set my macOS system cursors to something else.

I made a spreadsheet of free Mac Apps I use — check it out and recommend more!
Another suggestion: I just started using it recently but Mousecape for customizing your macOS cursor. I'm currently using a KDE Breeze theme and it looks and runs pretty well.

Show HN: Heynote – A Dedicated Scratchpad for Developers
This looks fantastic. I will definitely give it a spin. I've been tracking what I call "computational scratchpad" apps for a while now but haven't found one that fits my environment/workflow yet. Maybe Heynote will. Here are some others that I've looked at:
* https://soulver.app Granddad of them all, Mac-only, proprietary, expensive
* https://numi.app Mac-only, proprietary, semi-expensive. Has a Github and claims to be MIT-licensed but I don't see how you could build a working application with what's in the repo.
* https://calca.io Windows- and Mac-only, proprietary, not expensive, nice docs.
* https://notepadcalculator.com Web-based, not open source, hosted but uses local storage. You can optionally create an account to sign in and have your notes saved in plaintext on his server.
* https://github.com/bbodi/notecalc3 Web-based, open source, self-hostable. But it seems to save your document in the URL string itself, which means the URL gets updated with almost every keystroke. Worth it for quick calculations and very small notes, I guess.
* https://numpad.io Web-based, hosted, not open source. Also stores entire doc in URL, but doesn't update the URL bar the whole time you're typing.
* https://numbr.dev/ Web-based, hosted. Has a Github but is not open source and the repo does not have all the bits needed to self-host it. Stores entire doc in URL.
* https://github.com/metakirby5/codi.vim Vim/NeoVim plugin that is less like a "smart notepad" and more like Jupyter but with results printed on the right side of the screen instead of in a cell below. Supports lots of programming languages.

Power User's Guide to the Galaxy
Apps that can sell themselves: Numi - a way better calculator. Meeter – gives you a timer in your toolbar to showcase your next meeting, you can also easily join the meetings. Bartender – Tidy up your toolbar. Hidden Bar is a free alternative Magnet – Snap windows in place. Rectangle is a free alternative. I just happened to get Magnet. Ryan Hanson is the developer for Magnet, but also Hyperkey. He has some more interesting apps that I'm yet to try out. Checking out his work might be worth some time. Dropover – Effortlessly drag and drop files. Creates a temporary box to hold your files while navigating to where you want to drop them. Pure Paste – Can automatically remove formatting from what you copy, which I believe has annoyed everyone at some point.
