What it does

Sim Genie is a power tool for developers that gives them access to many of the hidden options the Xcode simulator has, but almost no one knows about.

Sim Genie unlocks the Xcode simulator

Xcode’s simulator is a powerful tool able to do so much more than just Build & Run … if you know its secrets. Sim Genie lives in your Mac's menu bar granting you access to a treasure trove of productivity-boosters you probably didn't think were possible. Draw a path on the map for Sim Genie to generate location data for you (or load routes from GPX files). With customizable playback options you can control the speed of playback and more. Trigger the last Sim Genie action you took (like opening a deep link) with Sim Genie’s Quick Repeat hotkey, making debugging a breeze. (Oh, and of course there’s another hotkey you can set to delete derived data . Because, Xcode.) Grab marketing-ready…from simgenie.app

    Genie Builder, no-code UI plugin for building data apps2022 · genieframework.com · ▲38

    Hi! Genie Builder is a free VSCode plugin that makes it easy to build web GUIs for Julia applications (and in future, Python apps too). Users can simply drag & drop UI elements to create interactive dashboards and data apps, without writing any frontend code. The tool is designed for data scientists and researchers who need to expose their data models to business users with an interactive web application, but lack the software development skills to build one. Genie Builder completely eliminates the need to learn frontend development to code the UI. And very soon, we’re also going to support…

  • Talanoa▲346

    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…
