macOS app PhotoSort could help reduce your monthly iCloud bill
PhotoSort does two simple things that Apple Photos (deliberately?) doesn't. It sorts your iCloud and Mac Photos library by file size and aesthetic quality. This lets you find not just your best photos, but also large, unwanted photos and videos filling up your iCloud storage, and the hundreds of useless screenshots and forgettable photos cluttering up your Photos library. PhotoSort creates two albums in the Photos app: SizeSort and QualitySort. The first identifies the biggest space hogs that you could offload to reduce storage; the second separates your best shots from the mediocre and…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
PhotoSort does two simple things that Apple Photos (deliberately?) doesn't. It sorts your iCloud and Mac Photos library by file size and aesthetic quality. This lets you find not just your best photos, but also large, unwanted photos and videos filling up your iCloud storage, and the hundreds of useless screenshots and forgettable photos cluttering up your Photos library. PhotoSort creates two albums in the Photos app: SizeSort and QualitySort. The first identifies the biggest space hogs that you could offload to reduce storage; the second separates your best shots from the mediocre and rubbish ones that you might want to delete. PhotoSort is available on the Mac App Store (https://apps.apple.com/app/id6739038077). The free version reveals your 30 largest files. The paid version ($5 for lifetime use) shows the full sorting and creates the two albums. More details at www.photosort-app.com. PhotoSort is available in English, French, German, Spanish (ES), Spanish (MX) and Russian versions. The feedback from users has been fantastic, and the app reached #54 in the Mac App Store's Photos & Videos chart last week. A reviewer (See below) called PhotoSort "The $5 solution Apple hopes you’ll never discover". I do hope you discover it!

Hey HN! Pilots everywhere are required to keep a logbook of all their flying hours, aircraft, airports, and so on. Since I track everything digitally (some people still just use paper logbooks!), I put together some data visualizations and a few 3D globes to show my flying history. This globe is probably my favourite so far: https://jameshard.ing/pilot/globes/all If you’ve got ideas for other graphs or ways to show this kind of data, I’d love to hear them!

I was the main contributor to workout.lol, an open-source fitness app to easily build a workout routine. The project had traction (1.4k GitHub stars, 95 forks, ~20K visits/month), but was eventually sold due to video licensing hurdles. The new owner stopped maintaining it, and the repo went abandoned. Over the next 9 months, I sent 15 emails to try to save it : no replies. Feature requests & issues were ignored. The community was left with a "broken" tool let's say. I couldn't just let it die So I built the new version from scratch with the same open-source spirit, but a better…
