    Hi HN We're Vitalik (Ex-Bolt) and Stas (Ex-Grammarly, Wix) We build a MacOS vibecoding tool for native Swift iOS apps, that replaces Xcode for non-developers.

    Hello HN! So early this year I decided to build an iOS browser offering a large range of customization options, to accommodate anyone’s usage and visual preferences. Been using it as my default browser for 6 months and not looking back. On first launch it looks and behaves a bit like Safari, but to give you an idea, here are the various ways I customized it on my phone. - More screen real estate for the webpage, less for the toolbar. - A compact toolbar containing only the buttons for actions I use the most: new tab, close tab, open tab list. Since I use them hundred times a day, I need them…

    I’ve been building Oliphaunt, a native Mastodon client for macOS, as a solo project — designed to be fast, lightweight and feel right at home on the Mac. It’s not built with Catalyst or Electron framework. Key features: • Native macOS UI using AppKit with some SwiftUI integration (not a web wrapper) • Core Data for local caching • Responsive, keyboard-friendly interface • UX tailored for desktop-class Mac computers • Supports multiple accounts, cross-instance timelines and search You can try it via TestFlight (macOS 14+ Sonoma): https://testflight.apple.com/join/Epq1P3Cw…

    Every morning I'd open App Store Connect in Safari, enter my password for the millionth time, then wait 8 seconds for the dashboard to load and continue fumbling around for what I needed. Everything took too many clicks and way too long to load. I did this for years and got tired of it. Good thing Apple provided API access for all this data. So I finally built the app I wanted, just the way I liked. Fast, keyboard-friendly navigation, data syncs and gets stored only on the local device. Meet AppDesk — a native macOS client built with SwiftUI for App Store Connect. Everything runs locally —…
