What it does

BuoyBro is a simple little widget that provides you with a live report of the current conditions at your local surf break. Drawing from the live data recorded by hundreds of ocean buoys, and tying in waves, wind, and tide, this app lets you keep your eyes on your local spot at all times - whether you're at home, in the office, or on the road. No more messy websites and cross-references surf apps - just a quick look at BuoyBro and you know exactly when to go.

Current wave height, wave period, swell direction, wind, and tide — all in one clear, clean widget. Check your real-time local surf conditions at a glance - and receive a notification when your spot is on. Your local conditions at a glance, right on your lock or Home Screen. Choose from over 150 buoys coast-to-coast. The last three readings are also displayed in the app, to show if the swell is building or dropping. Pin your local conditions to your desktop! Know exactly when it's time to drop everything and rip out of the office. Customize an alert for your preferred wave height + period to never miss afrom buoybro.ca

  • Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

  • Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
