Taphouse
The missing GUI for Homebrew
What it does
Taphouse 1.3 Since launch, we've added: CVE vulnerability scanning for all your packages, a Health Dashboard with system score, orphaned dependency cleanup, leftover file detection, duplicate app finder, and pre-install inspection to see exactly what a package will install. Plus: 6 languages, Mac App Store integration, third-party app updates (Sparkle/GitHub/Electron), code signing verification, Brewfile export, and menu bar mode with auto-updates. The complete Homebrew GUI for macOS.

Hi HN! Like many of you, for my entire career I have relied on Homebrew to install all kinds of software on my Mac.

Brewer X is graphical interface that lives on top of Homebrew. Leveraging the power of native APIs improves the classic experience and unlocks new features. For example: • bulk actions are performed in parallel • syncing the entire library locally provides incredible search performances and the ability to query descriptions and other…

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
