Emacs Bedrock–A minimal Emacs starter kit
- Integration with other macOS apps, like Tip.app[1], so selection (region) in Emacs is recognised by macOS and sent to Tip.app as stdin
From downsides, it won't compile with xwidgets support (webkit).

I don’t want to build websites in react for my whole career. Not sure where to learn other things.
Project 1: A desktop app. 900+ github stars, built with Swift / Obj C
-
A curated directory of 700 Mac menu bar apps
Alternatively, you can program Tip (https://github.com/tanin47/tip, disclaimer: I'm the creator) to popup relevant menu items based on the text you currently select.
I've been using this at work hundreds of times every day for years now. I'd love anyone to try it out.

GitHub stars won't pay your rent
It won't, but I feel pretty damn good about my repo getting almost 900 stars (https://github.com/tanin47/tip).
The github stars is quite useful to break into big tech as well. But the value of it probably stops there.

Ask HN: What not-profit-seeking project are you tinkering with this week?
Thank you for pointing it out. I just notice the description.
I guess I can offer a different one that is free.
A programmable tooltip on Mac: https://github.com/tanin47/tip
I'm experimenting with a mechanism to replace the selected text. You can select a text (on any app), activate the tooltip, and select one of the options, and that option can replace the selected text. The UX isn't as smooth as I want, and I'm still figuring out how to overcome that.

Ask HN: Does anyone use keyboard/mouse extra buttons for coding?
I use a mouse with 3 extra buttons.
2 are for copying and pasting.
1 is for activating a programmable tooltip.
Here are the apps I built for the above:
1. Mouse config tool for Mac https://github.com/tanin47/noo

Ask HN: Looking for a project to volunteer on? (February 2024)
SEEKING VOLUNTEERS: https://letsblock.it - https://github.com/letsblockit/letsblockit/
A companion project for uBlockOrigin that curates a corpus of content blocking templates, and provides the server to create you personal list of content blocking rules. The official instance just hit 800 active lists and a lot of template suggestions have been filed recently.
The easiest way to contribute is to create new templates, fix or extend existing ones. You need to learn the uBlockOrigin syntax and how to properly target the right elements, happy to mentor! See recent PRs for examples and https://github.com/letsblockit/letsblockit/blob/main/data/fi... for documentation.
The server itself is built with Go and HTMX, it's pretty low-maintenance, but there's interesting improvements if you want to toy with it (need to open issues for these).

I use a combination of:
- https://letsblock.it/ and Ublock Origin
- The Unhook plugin for Firefox
- Blocking channels on my YouTube account when I see something inappropriate
- Adguard Home also blocks certain channels
to try to moderate the YouTube content for my kids. It's not perfect, but it does get rid of a lot of garbage (like YouTube Shorts).

Show HN: uBlock Origin filters to remove distractions
You should submit these rules to https://letsblock.it ! AFAIK their distractions rules really only cover YouTube
-
Some veteran YouTube staff think Shorts might ruin YouTube
They're horrible.
Luckily you can use ublock origin and letsblockit, or other browser plugins, to completely erase them from YouTube.

Ask HN: What cool software utilities have you created?
https://letsblock.it : it allows you to create your own content blocking rule list from a corpus or community-maintained templates. It allows you to hide pinterest and stackoverflow clones from search results, remove shorts and upcoming streams from youtube, and many more. The project is now two years old and sustaining a slow but steady growth with an active community.
