Designer @ Poolside here. Thank you for all the feedback – specifically we rebuilt all the eval charts to be clearer. https://poolside.ai/blog/laguna-a-deeper-dive

sgottiton Laguna XS.2 and M.1

We got a lot of feedback about this. We've just pushed new chart components live across the site – thanks. https://poolside.ai/blog/laguna-a-deeper-dive

sgottiton Show HN: Echo, an iOS SSH+mosh client built on Ghostty

Thanks! Agree - Secure Enclave support with key generation has been a common feature request. Definitely on the roadmap.

You can pinch to zoom in and out beyond the defaults and get a lot of real estate that way. Thanks for the kind words!

thanks that's great feedback. currently thinking and working right now on the best way to handle customisability of the keyboard (without making it a chore to configure or a horrendous ui). hadn't considered "chords" yet but it's one we'll consider as we approach this

Terminus was a sledgehammer for the small, neat little app I wanted to build (though I'm sure it's great). Plus a big driver was the ability to use Ghostty's engine. I'm not familiar with what Terminus use under the hood.

Thanks! We're working on an update to the keyboard toolbar right now to support a customisable set of keys

Echo works great with an external keyboard fwiw. My daily driver is using it with the iPad and keyboard

sgottiton Show HN: Ports – see what's running on what port

A little macOS app I made to quickly manage processes and ports. Essentially a wrapper around `lsof` with some added niceties.

sgottiton Sparkle: A software update framework for macOS

huge fan and user of Sparkle. a while back I wrote a wrapper around it for automatically creating a changelog, signing software etc and its worked perfectly for years https://replay.software/bump

sgottiton Sparkle

I use Sparkle on all the Mac apps I work on and always found the setup docs somewhat convoluted so happy to see this.

A couple years ago I built https://replay.software/bump to automate into the cloud the entire Sparkle process, and it's made it much more idiot-proof to create the changelog, do signing and release.

sgottiton Ask HN: Those making $500/month on side projects in 2022 – Show and tell

I'm one of the creators of Sleeve, a "now playing" desktop accessory for the Mac https://replay.software/sleeve. We charge a one time fee for the app, and average around $700/mo. We've been working on it entirely in our spare time for the last couple of years.

sgottiton Show HN: I hate adding updating to my apps, so I created Pakkly

I had a similar problem – which I opened sourced here; http://replay.software/bump. Bump basically automates all of the Sparkle signing and appcast creation using GitHub Actions, and then pushes the binary & changelog to AWS automatically with Terraform.

sgottiton Ask HN: What's your quarantine side project?

https://umbra.replay.software/

Spent some time learning Swift UI to build a mac app to manage dark mode & matching wallpapers.

sgottiton Not enjoying startup life, what now?

Sounds like you want to try another startup, but perhaps one where you can get to know the team a bit before you join?

sgottiton How we use BitTorrent to improve our design sharing workflow

Ah my bad – I've corrected the open source claim and I'll reword about the 24 hr secrets. Thanks.

sgottiton From idea to AppStore in 2 weeks

Thanks. As of writing Lines has sold a few thousand copies, so it's made a good ROI. After costs have been paid (servers, iOS dev license etc) I'll be giving some profits to chairty.

sgottiton From idea to AppStore in 2 weeks

Yes – as of writing I've sold enough units to pay for the costs a few times over as well as server costs for the custom API I built. Some profits will be reserved for London based charities.

sgottiton From idea to AppStore in 2 weeks

Thanks!

I knew that there were a lot of similar apps on the AppStore but I went with my conviction that less is more. Nearly all the apps are multifunctional and include journey planners, maps, alerts etc etc.

As a Londoner, I know my way around, the only thing I want to know is if the tube is even working – this is how Lines was born. I've tried to make the app's simplicity it's main selling point and hope I've achieved this to some degree.

sgottiton Show HN: Flatsies – concept sharing for designers

Thanks, yes you're definitely right. I'm going to do a short video tour at some point.
