Rubio-Radio Currently Playing Song & Full-Text Search
Another GitHub Pull Request for Rubio-Radio (open-source Internet radio app built with Ruby) got accepted and merged, which focused on displaying the currently playing song/program, loading all available radio stations (instead of a pre-defined limit), and enhanced full-text-search support including column-specific queries. The changes have been released in rubio-radio gem version 0.0.6. In fact, the enhanced full-text-search support is included in the latest version of Glimmer DSL for LibUI (Ruby Desktop Development GUI Library used to build Rubio-Radio) as part of the refined_table custom control for use in any projects, so software engineers get that feature for free now.

Rubio-Radio Bookmarking & Async Gradual Fetching
Recently, I blogged about how I contributed Pagination/Filtering support to Rubio-Radio, an Internet radio application built with Ruby and Glimmer DSL for LibUI.

New Glimmer DSL for LibUI Apps: RubyCrumbler and Rubio-Radio
I am particularly impressed by the fact that the developers of those apps fully went the distance by walking the walk, not just talking the talk, especially given that the developers of the first app (RubyCrumbler) were brand new to Glimmer DSL for LibUI and had to exercise great problem solving skills to finish their app on time for their needs.

2021 Was The Year of The Ruby Desktop!!!
Glimmer DSL for LibUI (Prerequisite-Free Ruby Desktop Development GUI Library): this gem just won a 2022 Fukuoka Ruby Special Award after getting judged directly by Matz (creator of Ruby) and the Fukuoka Ruby Award Competition Judges! How is that for a Year of The Ruby Desktop accomplishment!!?!

Perfect Shape - Pure Ruby Geometric Algrithms
Another reason why this library was created was to address the need for supporting automated declarative drag and drop features in Glimmer DSL for LibUI coming soon (right now, it supports manually implementing drag and drop with area listeners out of the box).

Shoes makes building little graphical programs for Mac, Windows, Linux simple
Something for which I wish there was a windows variant...
Embedding a script into a small tray icon/menubar app can be extremely powerfull even with its low complexity.

Application-Specific Terminals
> Which apps do you use actually it for?
neovim, mutt, tig, weechat
> That's what aliases are for (or you could rename the binary?)!
Unfortunately, it's not that simple on macOS for app bundles. The human readable name of the app bundle really doesn't matter that much to the operating system -- it's the contents of Info.plist that matter. In order to have a separate app that can be Cmd+Tab'd to, you have to have a separate app bundle, separate app bundle identifier, etc. There's really not a way around it on macOS that I've seen.
(And to be clear, aliases do work on the command line. I'm talking specifically about GUI apps - which is my primary method of separating my different activities. Terminal emulator tabs are not good enough.)
This also doesn't solve the performance problems with any of the various GUI applications, nor does it solve my problem for other applications that I want to run.
> By the way, do you know the app https://github.com/sveinbjornt/Platypus that can generate app bundles on a Mac?
I do! I tried this route first, but it falls apart when you start a GUI application from the script that you supply to platypus. If your script is e.g. `wezterm start`, it'll just start up another instance of a wezterm-branded GUI app in addition to the wrapper app that Platypus spits out.

The Icelandic Saga Database
Random fact; this website is created and maintained by Sveinbjörn Þórðarson who also made Platypus (https://github.com/sveinbjornt/Platypus) and Sloth (https://github.com/sveinbjornt/Sloth) — software that Mac nerds might be familiar with.
Sveinbjörn is a ball of energy that just radiates positives for human society.

How to easily share a small CLI script with non-technical coworkers?
Not sure if I understood the question properly but I found this program for Macs the other day: Platypus. It will create a .app out of any scrap of code.
What are some alternatives?
