Project mention: 18-year-old built a better computer monitor that doesn't strain your eyes | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-10-27I use "Monitor Control" on my Mac Studio to control the brightness of my Dell monitor:
https://github.com/MonitorControl/MonitorControl
I found this https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-qt/issues/967
Project mention: Why can't MacOS just TELL ME which program is using the drive I'm trying to eject rather than just have me guess? | /r/MacOS | 2023-07-05That said, after I learned about how to use lsof, I found this little free app called =Sloth (and its github page ), which is just a nice native Mac app serving as a GUI for lsof. It'll let you know exactly which process to quit or kill so your drive can eject happily.
Project mention: Kyutai AI research lab with a $330M budget that will make everything open source | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-11-19
CotEditor doesn’t get enough due. Completely Mac-native and open source.

Plash - Price: Free Menu bar app for macOS that allows you to create and manage web apps as if they were native apps.
Project mention: Show HN: Applite – Clean Homebrew front end app for macOS built with SwiftUI | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-08-10As far as I know, Cakebrew is no longer maintained. There are quite a few alternatives though, you can see the full list on the GitHub page (https://github.com/milanvarady/Applite#alternatives)
Project mention: Show HN: Brewer X, a native macOS client for Homebrew | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-17Note: Cork is not open source. Cork is under the Commons Clause, which bans distribution. As of commit 404943c, the README.md of Cork mistakenly refers to Cork as "open-source" [1]:
> Cork is licensed under Commons Clause.
> This means that Cork open-source and you can do whatever you want with Cork's source, like modifying it, contributing to it etc., but you can't sell or distribute Cork or modified versions of it.
even though the very FAQ for the Commons Clause asserts otherwise [2]:
> Is this “Open Source”?
> “Open source”, has a specific definition that was written years ago and is stewarded by the Open Source Initiative, which approves Open Source licenses. Applying the Commons Clause to an open source project will mean the source code is available, and meets many of the elements of the Open Source Definition, such as free access to source code, freedom to modify, and freedom to re-distribute, but not all of them. So to avoid confusion, it is best not to call Commons Clause software “open source.”

It would make it possible to use tasks.org on Android and another app like Sleek on Windows (or any of the other todo.txt clients).
