  MagicQuit – closes apps when you don't use them anymore (free)2023 · magicquit.com · ▲13

  I often end up having 15+ applications open in my Dock. And, unfortunately, I tend to never close them. While Arc Browser does a great job for browser tabs, I didn’t find any fully satisfying solution for MacOS. One used way too much power and the other one would have taken quite some time to set it up. So instead I decided to develop an app which took x times more of my free time. MagicQuit is entirely free, open source, 100% offline and closes apps that you haven’t been using in the last 12 hours (customizable). Feature-wise I wanted to keep it as clean and simple as possible. It also uses…

  Talanoa▲341

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  LLMs can generate valid JSON 100% of the time▲854

  Outlines is a Python library that focuses on text generation with large language models. Brandon and I are not LLM experts and started the project a few months ago because we wanted to understand better how the generation process works. Our original background is probabilistic, relational and symbolic programming. Recently we came up with a fast way to generate text that matches a regex (https://blog.normalcomputing.ai/posts/2023-07-27-regex-guide...). The basic idea is simple: regular expressions have an equivalent Deterministic-Finite Automaton (DFA) representation. We…
