Project mention: Ice: Powerful open source menu bar manager for macOS | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-01-30
I love Ice as well. Hoping development resumes soon, the developer got busy with life a few months ago and there are a few QoL changes that would really elevate this. Notably, the ability to declare the location where "new" icons are placed (left, right, hidden etc)

> (2019 Intel MBP)
I used to have one of these and recently got an M1 Max machine - the performance boost is seriously incredible.
The throttling on those late-game intel macs is hardcore - at one point I downloaded Hot[1], which is a menu bar app that shows you when you're being throttled. It was literally all the time that the system was slowing itself down due to heat. I eventually just uninstalled it because it was a constant source of frustration to know I was only ever getting 50% performance out of my expensive dev laptop.
