Floating Finder

Windows Explorer's address bar, on the real Finder

What it does

Coming from Windows? Floating Finder puts a Windows Explorer-style editable address bar on real Finder windows — and inside other apps' Open/Save dialogs, where Finder's own Path Bar never appears. Plus two-pane tiling with one-click copy/move. Doesn't replace Finder.

Coming from Windows? Floating Finder puts an editable address bar and two side-by-side panes on the real macOS Finder — without replacing it. macOS 14+, Apple silicon. $5.

Switching from Windows? Finder keeps the path out of sight, has nothing you can type an address into, and opens a new window for everything. Floating Finder adds all of it — an editable address bar, two panes side by side — on top of the Finder you already have. Address bar The bar is not part of Finder. It tracks the window — move it, resize it, switch spaces, and it stays put. Shown with the orange accent; eight colours and the system accent are available. Open and Save dialogs The same bar under another app's dialogs — where Finder's own Path Bar never appears. Type a path, or pick one of the bookmarks you already use in Finder. Two panes Two Finder windows tiled into a single pair, with…from floating-finder.pages.dev

    Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
