What it does

When Apple removed Launchpad in macOS Tahoe, something felt missing. Spotlight is great for search, but not for browsing. NexusPad is a native macOS app launcher designed to bring back that simple, visual experience, without the clutter. ✨ Features: 1. Grid & list view for flexible browsing 2. App folders for organization 3. Add to favorites for quick access 4. Sorting options 5. Fast, keyboard-first search 6. Minimal, native UI

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.
