   Substage▲183

   Hey all! I’m a solo indie dev and I’ve been working on Substage – a Mac app that docks under your Finder window and lets you interact with your files using natural language. Stuff like: • Convert to webp • zip these up • Author of this PDF? • Download this file: • Is this really a PNG? • What's 5 foot 9 in cm? • Open in TextMate Substage converts your prompt into a Terminal command using an LLM (GPT-4o, Claude, Gemini, Mistral, or your own local model), runs it, and summarises the output. If it detects something risky, it’ll pause for confirmation before running. Commands run locally on your…

   SpacePigeon▲93

   I switch between a few different “modes” on my Mac every day (work, coding, meetings, personal stuff). Each time I’d end up reopening the same apps and dragging all the windows back into the right Spaces. Super repetitive and honestly kind of annoying. So over the past few weeks I hacked together a small open-source tool called SpacePigeon that basically remembers your whole workspace and puts everything back where it was. Things it can do: Save your current layout (apps + windows + Spaces) Restore it with one click or a hotkey Keep separate presets (like “Work”, “Coding”, “Meetings” etc.)…

    Onboard-CLI, a LLM powered and AST-based tool to visualize codebase▲24

    Onboard-CLI—a blazing-fast developer tool I built in Go. It uses AST parsing (Tree-sitter) to map out codebase architecture and automatically blocks spaghetti code and bad dependencies locally before you even commit. I heavily optimized the concurrency, so it can parse 50k+ files in under 10 seconds.

    A cross platform desktop installer maker project▲6

    Hello, I have been working on a desktop app as a side project for which I needed an installer kit. I looked at some existing ones for different platforms. Felt, it benefits to have a cross platform desktop installer builder which is flexible enough to code your UI and actions (non declarative style). I have also added Github actions (sourced from Tauri) to automatically generate installer files for all macos, win and linux. Here is an effort towards it. Please share your thoughts: https://github.com/krishnakumar4a4/desktop-installer-maker
