yanex··on Show HN: Marta – A fast and minimalistic file manager for macOS
You're right: it's the first preview version, not the complete product yet. Please stay tuned :)

But if you have some specific problems with Marta, you can always contact me at mail@yanex[dot]org, or leave the TODO request here: https://quip.com/TOH6Abh8ruxi.

Thank you! I'll investigate it.

Sorry, it's not possible right now. But I've added a task to the TODO list (https://quip.com/TOH6Abh8ruxi), and it will be fixed in Marta 0.1.1.

This is a completely valid point, thank you. I added it to the public TODO list: https://quip.com/TOH6Abh8ruxi.

By the way, you can already change the font (https://marta.yanex.org/docs#fonts).

Homebrew is not suited well for DMG package distribution (well, at least I don't know examples of such software). But you can install Marta just as any another macOS GUI software.

fman is a cross-platform application made with PyQt. I doubt if it will achieve the native macOS experience someday. And I think the difference is really important.

I call it minimalistic just because the UI is not cluttered by numerous panels and menus. It's not about the functionality. I believe that the functionality/simplicity balance is possible, as I see it done well in Sublime Text. By the way, Marta supports plugins so the functionality is not limited by what you have out of the box.

Just Cocoa (Swift). Marta is a completely native macOS application.

Well, it's your decision. By the way, if you ping me on Twitter (yanex_ru), I can send you the direct link to DMG via a DM.
yanex··on Anko – Pleasant Android development in Kotlin
There's actually some sense under the chosen name.

First of all, it is a platform name (Android) and a language name (Kotlin), joined together and abbreviated. The word "anko" is short and there's no other library with the same name (at least, I didn't heard of one).

Also, it was created to make Android development sweeter with some synthetic sugar^Wanko.

Finally, I just love daifuku.

You can check it manually or use the provided configuration() function.

It looks good unless you actually use layout qualifiers frequently. Then it becomes a pain, because you now have to keep consistency among all your layout variations and with Java code. Moreover, there's no tool in Android SDK nor in Android Studio that could help you sort it out.
