BusyBee

What it does

BusyBee updates your Slack status from Google Calendar—custom emojis and text per meeting, focus time, OOO, and more. Rules you control.

BusyBee reads your Google Calendar and updates your Slack status with the emoji and text you choose—meetings, focus time, out of office, and more. Set rules once; skip the busywork. Define what status to show for different event types and titles. See your status update automatically, then manage rules on web or in Slack. Teammates see the right status and emoji without manual updates. Manage rules from the web dashboard or directly inside Slack. Match by event type (meetings, OOO, focus time), title keywords, or regex patterns. Polls every 60 seconds so your status is always up to date with your calendar. Manually set your status and BusyBee pauses. Clear it and auto-updates resume. Set…from getbusybee.app

  Homebrew 6.0.0▲1,481

  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!

  Performative-UI – A react component library of design tropes▲1,181

  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!
