With 2022 over soon, what were your favorites apps of the year?
🫴 Simple Comic free and open source - a reader for Graphic Novels, but it will also open image pdfs or a directory of images. It uses Apple's Vision Framework so you can use the mouse to select text in .pngs, .jpgs, and it has a Find command to make it all searchable. Once you've got the text, you can use the built-in Text-To-Speech to have it read to you, do a Google search, or paste it into translate.google.com to get it translated into a more comfortable language.

iOS 16 introduced the Live Text API, so I made an app to quickly markup text within your images.
I used the Vision framework to add full-text searching, and selection©ing to the text in Graphic Novels. Graphic Novels are just collection of image files, usually a zip of jpegs. It is a free reader app in the Apple App Store: Simple Comic It's for Mac, but it's open-source. The source code is here.

How can I display a pdf/doc/docx or whatever in chunks

Is it possible to hide app menus in the menu bar?
hideOCRMenusIfUnavailable in OCRTracker.m in the open-source App Simple Comic which, if you go into Preferences and turn off Recognize Text hides all the menu items that depending on recognizing text to function. Go into Preferences* and turn Recognize Text back on, and it puts those menu items back. That way, I don't have to explain to the user why those menus items are dim.

WWDC live text feature for app?
You give it a CGImageRef, and a block, and the block gets called back with an array of structs, each of which contains a rectangle, a confidence level, and a string, that corresponds to one line of text. https://github.com/DavidPhillipOster/MockSimpleComic takes that and wraps it in a layer, so you can mouse over the text like you can in Preview when you open a .png. https://github.com/MaddTheSane/Simple-Comic/ has been taking my pull requests and putting it up on the App Store. All available today, and with the Vision framework, which works back to the 2019 vintage macOS, and iOS.

Sparkle: A software update framework for macOS
Also, as a different approach, to some degree Ferdium can act as a central place for various messaging platforms even if the integration that Pidgin (and Adium) and libPurple provided is not possible this way. Station is similar and a bit better but is in desperate need of developers. Both are FLOSS.

Is there a place to suggest software you'd like to be on the AUR? If not, let it be here!
I've moved on to Ferdium by the way via the ferdium-electron AUR package. I also use Tuta, Skiff, Google Messages and YouTube Music with it.
