Float

What it does

Float is a lightweight Picture-in-Picture browser for macOS that stays above your windows so you can watch and work without context switching.

Float keeps a video or web window on top of everything on your Mac — even full-screen apps and Spaces. Watch YouTube, Twitch, or reference docs while you work. Native, lightweight (1.8 MB), free to start.

macOS locks every app behind its own fullscreen Space — even Chrome’s picture-in-picture. Float rides the native window layer reserved for system UI, so one small browser window stays on top of it all. Dial the opacity down and Float melts into your work — there when you glance over, invisible when you don’t. Drag the slider to see it happen over a real fullscreen editor. YouTube, Twitch, a livestream, a lecture, a local file — playing over your editor without ever leaving fullscreen. Stays pinned above all your desktops and fullscreen apps at once — the native trick that makes Float work everywhere you go. Keep a site, docs, dashboard, YouTube, Twitch, or supported streaming service in…from float.codes

  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.
