I recently switched back to macOS and as part of that thought I'd go all in and give Safari a fair shake (coming from Chrome). While Safari has mostly been okay, one of my common use cases is searching for an image and sharing it with friends via the "Copy Image" contextual menu. Unfortunately, most of the time this results in you just getting a URL to said image, which is frustrating. After Googling the issue, I saw someone recommend this app which creates a workaround of sorts by giving you a "Copy" share action that will actually copy the image to the clipboard. It's an extra click, but it works, and that's what matters. Some of the share actions look useful too and I look forward to…from apps.apple.com

    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…
