Bioengine··on Show HN: I made an iOS/macOS widget that combines other widgets
I always thought that Apple should merge Calendar and Reminders. The only reason to even think about other calendar apps like Fantastical for me was because it shows you your day at a glance, with something like calendar and something like reminders in one view. So i wrote this app that i call Onward and it shows system Calendar and system Reminders in one widget.

It matches system Calendar widgets look pretty much exactly (all 3 sizes) It shows more upcoming events (system ones only show today and tomorrow) It's a single app for iOS and macOS (no Apple Silicon required)

And as a bonus i discovered that it's so easy to have specialized widgets now! For example i have a widget that only shows upcoming birtdays. You can have one to show upcoming holidays. Or just have one that shows just Reminders because actual Reminders widget is weird.

Bioengine··on Switch Browser – macOS extension to view current page in a different browser
Being a webdeveloper and having Safari as my main browser i often need to look at my websites not just in different browsers but in a browser with actual DevTools. Looked around, couldn't find anything simple for viewing current page in a different browser so i made my own solution. This is "share menu extension", you can configure which browsers you want to see and it recognizes all the browsers installed in your system.

There is no night/dark mode as of now but it should be added somewhere around the next version.
