What it does

LED AppBar pins a scrolling LED dot-matrix ticker to the very top edge of your Windows desktop — not as a floating window, but as a real Windows AppBar via SHAppBarMessage. That means maximized windows respect the bar's space instead of overlapping it, exactly like the taskbar. Point it at any URL: RSS news, clocks, Twitch chat, scrolling illustrations, whatever renders in a browser. Built with Tauri (Rust + WebView2). Multi-monitor support, auto-hides on fullscreen, ~4 MB installer.

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.
