OSX-KVM
Run macOS on QEMU/KVM. With OpenCore + Monterey + Ventura + Sonoma support now! Only commercial (paid) support is available now to avoid spammy issues. No Mac system is required.
I used Kholia's scripts[1] on Qemu with Virsh. I didn't have much trouble other than some SELinux permission issues which I resolved quickly.
iCloud/imessage have always been finicky with Hackintosh, but in my experience setting the correct serial number with appropriate Mac model is the key to resolve those issues.
With just couple of years of Hackintosh scene left before support for x86 Macs are dropped completely, a VM Hackintosh makes more sense to me than building a physical Hackintosh.

Project mention: Rio-labs/rio: WebApps in pure Python. No JavaScript, HTML and CSS needed | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-09-17
afaict it uses https://github.com/r0x0r/pywebview under the hood (so yes, cross-platform)

Project mention: Ubuntu Hoping to Remove Qt 5 Before Ubuntu 26.04 LTS | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-11-01
Qt5 to Qt6 is nothing like Python2 to Python3.
The lessons from (Qt3 to Qt4 and) Qt4 to Qt5 have been learned and moving a large project from Qt5 to Qt6 is not that hard comparatively. There are a few minor deprecated APIs to handle and it's relatively easy over all.
I even have a stable project that is compatible with Qt5 and Qt6 [1] all in a single code base (particularly thanks to the effort of the qtpy[2] library). It's not that hard, and my opinion includes C++ in that assessment.

Project mention: TextSnatcher: Copy text from images, for the Linux Desktop | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-14
I'm the author of Textinator [1] a similar utility for macOS that uses Apple's Vision framework [2] for doing the OCR natively. Modern versions of macOS have a similar ability to copy text from images directly but Textinator works on macOS back to 10.15 and simplifies the "take screenshot, copy text to clipboard" workflow.
