Show HN: Piece – Floating note-taking app for your temporary thoughts
Some backstory of Piece in case you are interested:
This was initially a rewrite of one of my side projects during college years ago. It was originally implemented with Electron (https://github.com/PolarisChen/Piece), resulting a more than 100M size for such a tiny app. At that time, Electron just came out, and I thought the best way to get to learn something is by making something with it, which I still find legit. Anyway, the code haven't been touched for a long time, even though I used the app personally every day.
Months ago, I finally got some free time and decided to review the app, and concluded easily to rewrite it with Swift. There were some obstacles during the rewrite (https://twitter.com/polchen_/status/1433704888366604292), but eventually I made it. I tweeted about some comparison in terms of UI/UX, app size, memory usage (https://twitter.com/polchen_/status/1429224010852626440).
But I wanna make it more than just a rewrite, so I added some features that I personally needed, and just posted it on Mac App Store as a freemium app.
You might notice I mentioned "personally" several times. It's true. I'm not quite confident whether others would have the same need. Personally (again), I found Piece really useful in my daily life/work, as I can quickly bring it up with a global shortcut and write down anything in my mind, ideas, to-dos, random thoughts, etc; or use it as a outline prompter when I write, present or talk, since it's always floating-on-top, and I can quickly press the same shortcut to hide it when I don't need it anymore. It's a note-taking app, but don't get me wrong, it's not to compete with those branding note-taking apps like Notion. It's just a tiny app. I think what Piece to other formal note-taking apps is more like what working memory to long-term memory.
There are some other features like paste-to-app, copy-to-piece, clean reminder, additional themes and highlight syntax. But I would leave for those who are interested to experience them with the app.
I have a lot of ideas for future development. I even think about making an iOS version. But for now, I think I just wanna verify it and see if there are users like me. Thanks for reading the story and using the app :-D

Windows Subsystem For Linux a.k.a. WSL 1.0.0 released
Yeah, You need Hyper-V to run basic Docker configuration on Windows, I just simplified this too much I guess.
The end result is that if you run Docker on Windows with Hyper-V alone it's using Window filesystem and then "translating" this for Docker therefore making the whole process of accessing the files incredibly slow.
I used to work with docker using Docker Kinematic (https://github.com/docker/kitematic) in the past, which basically was a Virtual box with Docker installed inside this VM, and since the VM was some kind of Linux, it worked reasonably well.
The same seems to be the case when using WSL2 - you run VM and Docker inside this VM, removing the file sync/translation part out of the equation, resulting in speed boots.

Auttomatic Open Source Docker Open source Those are two i can think of that use those technologies, read the “contribution” part on github. If you search “open source projects” and the technologies you know, you’ll find even more. :)

What am I missing out by not using Docker?
Kitematic runs on Linux: https://github.com/docker/kitematic/releases, and so does Dockstation: https://dockstation.io
What are some alternatives?
