CodeCleaner is a native macOS app that finds and safely removes Xcode DerivedData, iOS Simulators, node_modules, Docker images, Colima VMs, Rust/Cargo, Python virtualenvs, Gradle builds, Go modules, Homebrew bottles, and IDE caches — six specialized tools built for developers who need their disk space back. Requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later. Native on Apple Silicon & Intel. CleanMyMac and DaisyDisk-style tools show general disk usage. They do not understand Xcode DerivedData, iOS simulator runtimes, Docker image layers, scattered node_modules, or Cargo registries.

  Talanoa▲343

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.

  I built a frontpage for personal blogs▲783

  With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
