What it does

Your Mac apps live in floating panels you arrange, lock, and summon on demand — grouped by project, client, or mood. Click an app and only your last window comes forward, never a pile of others. Native, sandboxed, no account. Free, with a $4.99 Pro unlock.

Iwan Dock is a quiet macOS menu-bar launcher. Your apps in tidy floating panels, right where you leave them. One-time $4.99. Built by Riwaq Labs.

Iwan Dock keeps your apps in tidy floating panels, right where you leave them — quiet in the menu bar until you need them. One-time purchase. No subscription, no account, no tracking. macOS 14 and later. Iwan Dock keeps your apps in floating panels you arrange once and forget. It stays out of sight in the menu bar, then appears exactly where you left it. Group apps into clean, draggable panels — one per project, client, or part of your day. Spin up as many as you like. Lay a panel out horizontally along an edge or vertically down the side. Switch in a click; every panel keeps its place. Drag an icon and the panel opens a gap to show where it lands. Hold Option to fuse two apps into a group…from riwaqlabs.com

    I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

    Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

  • A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…

    Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…
