For React. I asked Mr. Claude to turn it into a standalone ES Module and saved it here (minified).

// Sample invocation
import { createGradFlow } from "gradFlow.min.js";

createGradFlow("#gradient", {
  config: {
    type: "mesh",
    preset: "dream",
    speed: 2.0,
    color1: "#facb55",
    color2: "#111",
    color3: "#336699",
  },
});

Here’s another maker of gradients.

And the answer to my prayers. Activate a ‘multi-clipboard’ with a very simple and memorable ⌘Shiftc

brew install maccy but please get it via Gumroad or the App Store.

And LLMLingua (Microsoft) will compress things for context windows.

Obsessive organizer of things and see myself using this daily.

Or maybe I should STFU and just use cURL…

Been using the excellent TablePlus for a while but this one seems nice too.

Good old-school fun. I miss being able to theme OS X. How much fun is this? I hope Apple doesn’t bork whatever makes this work.

Because The Unarchiver now shows fucking ads.

Yes, I am complaining about a free thing. I have zero problem paying for the application and/or for the ads to go away. We drown in enough shit as it is. Does make me think why I need a separate unarchiver… perhaps for RAR files?

Here’s a demo site (demo:demo). I was able to launch it in under 30 seconds (M2 MacBook Air, 24GiB) against a ~200GiB music library.

UX and beets integration aside, it’s essentially what I tried to build a long while ago. A simple music player (based on Rust/Golang, SQLite, and simple Web APIs) whose UI made sense to normal and reasonable people and not ambitious product managers.

I use the excellent Karabiner for my keyboard but this appears to be a more ‘native’ solution. Here’s a copy of the repository.

And it’s a single file! I’ve cached it here. This is a lite version of one of my favorite apps, the excellent (and surprisingly cheap) MonoDraw for macOS.

Very cool. More CLI than UTM. Another is Lima.

You can use System Settings -> Battery -> Battery Health -> Info Icon to toggle this “ML” approach where macOS (and the developers who know more than you about how to care for your Mac) will handle this for you but I’ve never gotten it to work as expected despite docking my laptop repeatedly, and for half the day, over a year.

You can buy it on Gumroad or here’s a download link.

Here’s a Github Gist for a CLI option that uses diskutil.

And a delightful tool I use almost every week for its auto-completion and syntax highlighting,
