Mini Pong

What it does

Waiting for your code to compile? Watching your AI model think? Too short to do anything useful, too long to just stare at the terminal. MiniPong is the perfect 30 second micro-break. A tiny Pong arcade that lives in your macOS menu bar, always one click away. Play a quick round between builds, deploys, or while your LLM generates a response. No windows to manage, no Dock icon, no alt-tabbing. Just click the menu bar icon, play, and get back to work when your build is ready.

  TinyClock – a tiny true 5-arch universal Mac OS X single-binary GUI app2022 · tycho.sytes.net · ▲192

  1. Single universal binary, that can be natively executed on every hardware platform Mac OS X was made for (32/64 bit, PowerPC/x86/AppleSilicon). 2. Minimalistic gadget-style design. If launched as a tool, there is no menubar, no dock icon, no nothing, just the clock window. 3. Support for hidpi and dark mode for environments, that have them. 4. Window title bar for moving the window with a mouse, and a handle to resize it (latter for OS versions, that have it). 5. Can be easily ported to GNUStep and thus other OSes (sources under GPLv3). 6. Simple Makefile build system.

  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.
