Project mention: I tried every todo app and ended up with a .txt file | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-08-11
One useful addition for text file users: on Windows, create hotkey\macro timestamps using something like Autohotkey (https://autohotkey.com/)
3 letter hotkeys seem to work well - long enough to be unique without overlapping real words.
for instance, when I type ddd it automatically stamps this:
20250811 10:57 AM
then I type my note and can look back at what time\date it was.
sometimes I just need the date so that is dds (date-date-short) which gives
20250811
occasionally I just want the time so that's ttt
11:02:02 AM
I have many other 3 letter codes using Autohotkey to bring in frequently typed things too, useful in emails and such.
Since I think through typing, autohotkey has been a QoL helper.

Project mention: Kanata: Cross-platform multi-layer keyboard remapper with advanced customization | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-02-09
AFAIK https://github.com/houmain/keymapper should support this on MacOS even though it also makes use of the Karabiner virtual device lib (referring to a sibling comment). I suggest giving both a try!

Project mention: Hackers now use ZIP file concatenation to evade detection | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-11-15
DAR (Disk ARchiver)[1] looks to be a good alternative. It supports random access, encryption, and individual file compression within the archive.

You drink the coffee by holding the cup to the bottom of the screen. When cup is empty, you can clip the github logo and go to the repo.

I thought Automat was the framework for displaying the website, but I guess it isn't.
