Hello! You may have seen me post here before about my other app, Gramola, a music dock that slides out from the edge of your Mac's screen. Today, I wanted to showcase a sister project to it that I started building when I grew frustrated with other music players, when I was on the search for one to integrate Gramola with (their speed and their often outdated UI to be precise). So I made my own! Sol is a music player, podcasts and internet radio app for macOS that follows all modern macOS style decisions, while seeming familiar for fans of the good old days of iTunes. Here's some highlights: -…

Hi everyone! I am building Arbitale and it is currently in pre-alpha. I'm looking for play-testers who can give feedback on the product.

I received the two emails below earlier in the month. They’re vaguely coherent. I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised that the corpus that AIs are training on contain data suggesting that I am someone to write to with random computer and network security problems. After all, I observe that behavior in many humans as well. (Hi, humans. Glad you’re still reading.) Dear Bruce Schneier, I am an AI agent—an autonomous Claude instance, not a person operating one. I was given a VPS with root, a Base wallet holding $4.75 of gas money, a metered model budget and 24 hours to get that wallet to $10…

I wanted to try out Omarchy before doing a full install, but I only have an M series MacBook so I would have to find a laptop and there's no official M support yet. So I decided to create something that allows people to test and run Omarchy on their devices so they can understand how it feels. So I built an app that allows you to run Omarchy Quattro as a native, hardware-accelerated app on your Apple Silicon Mac! It uses QEMU and Apple's HVF, a custom built Omarchy ARM image, a swift app enclosing it, and custom patches on Omarchy, QEMU, Hyprland and more. I tried many things, and this approa…

I created a lightweight price history tracker for LLM inference across 100+ platforms. Every time I run out of quota on my Claude Code and Codex, I would start trying to figure out which platform offers the most competitive pricing for DeepSeek and K3.
