  • Awesome-Design-Tools

    The best design tools and plugins for everything 👉

    Project mention: Suggestions for new Awesome Design Tools | /r/DigitalArt | 2023-04-12

    I'm a big fan of curated lists and resources, and a great example of that is GitHub's awesome lists but I've noticed there seems to be a lack of any art focused that isn't specific to one software (such as Awesome Blender) or that are actively maintained, the closest being https://github.com/goabstract/Awesome-Design-Tools, which, although still quite helpful today, hasn't been updated in 3 or 4 years since Flawless Apps joined the Abstract team, so contains many broken links and there are plenty of new and useful options that aren't there. So I'm going to remake it over the next weekend and keep it regularly updated so any help with finding links to software, plugins, hardware, websites, learning materials and anything else you think might be relevant, any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • modern-unix

    A collection of modern/faster/saner alternatives to common unix commands.

  • Another Redis Desktop Manager

    🚀🚀🚀A faster, better and more stable Redis desktop manager [GUI client], compatible with Linux, Windows, Mac.

    Project mention: Redis Insight: GUI App for Redis | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-10-20

    Another alternative I've used is [Another Redis Desktop Manager](https://github.com/qishibo/AnotherRedisDesktopManager). It handles JSON values much better than Redis Insight in my experience.

  • WorkOS

  • DoraemonKit

  • infer

    A static analyzer for Java, C, C++, and Objective-C

    Project mention: An Introduction to Temporal Logic (With Applications to Concurrency Problems) | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-22

    I think most development occurs on problems that can't be formally modeled anyway. Most developers work on things like, "can you add this feature to the e-commerce site? And can the pop-up be blue?" which isn't really model-able.

    But that's not to say that formal methods are useless! We can still prove some interesting aspects of programs -- for example, that every lock that gets acquired later gets released. I think tools like Infer[0] could become common in the coming years.

    It is important to say that there is an elegant solution to the resource consistency problem that we haven’t adapted yet. Instead of testing raw values of UIStoryboard.Name cases, we could just generate the UIStoryboard.Name enum. Please refer to SwiftGen for the details.

    I use containerized versions of things, ubuntu and chainguard images mostly.

    You can always create containers with init if that's how you want to do that though. Some distros publish images that come that way: https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox/blob/main/docs/useful_...

  • cli

    the package manager for JavaScript (by npm)

    Project mention: 'everything' blocks devs from removing their own NPM packages | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-04

    Because sometimes I make idiotic mistakes and I really don't want that embarrassing stuff out there where people can see. I ran head first into an npm bug once when I tried to symlink the README file which resulted in the thing getting published without a README.

    https://github.com/npm/cli/issues/6746

    Embarrassing. And then they slapped me with a stupid 24 hour count down on top of it. I seriously hate this thing.
