What it does
Slapppy is a native macOS menu bar app that turns your trackpad or mouse into a shortcut engine. Hold Option, tap a rhythm, and it fires a keyboard shortcut, pastes text, or triggers a virtual key (F13–F20). Record your own patterns — the matching engine handles sloppy timing. No more memorizing Cmd+Shift+Ctrl+K. Works with any Mac, not just MacBooks. Built in Swift, one-time purchase (€9.98), no subscription.
Slapppy turns your MacBook trackpad into a shortcut engine. Tap a rhythm or draw a gesture — paste saved phrases, trigger shortcuts, never retype the same thing twice.
Paste text, open apps & websites, fire shortcuts — from any app, any time. Slapppy runs silently in the background, always ready. Your trackpad has been holding back. Slapppy gives it a purpose — open apps and websites, paste text, fire shortcuts. From any app, at any time. Dim dum tap dum — your apps open, your setup is ready. Your whole Mac switches to work mode. Rate card, follow-up, sorry text — each has its own rhythm. Never retype them again. Dum tap dum dim — VS Code, Claude, Figma and Terminal open at once. Ready to build. Name, title, email, phone — fully pasted at the end of any message, from any app. Text, shortcuts, URLs, commands — if you do it more than twice a day, it…from slapppy.com

Talanoa▲346Hi 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…

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.
