Tiny Moon – Swift library to calculate the moon phase
Tiny Moon is a tiny Swift library to calculate the moon phase for any given date, works super fast, and works completely offline. All of this started when I realized that we only have 12, sometimes 13, full moon's in a year. That doesn’t seem like that many. I set out to build a MacOS app to remind me when a full moon occurs, so that I could take a moment and step outside to appreciate it. The MacOS app I ended up creating can be found at https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tiny-moon/id6502374344 along with the source code [0], all powered by the Tiny Moon library. I…

In plain words
Tiny Moon is a Swift library that calculates moon phases for any given date. It operates entirely offline with fast performance, making it suitable for developers building astronomy or calendar applications. The library was created to power a companion macOS app that reminds users when full moons occur. Available as an open-source Swift Package, it draws inspiration from existing astronomy calculation tools and emphasizes minimal, efficient design.

1. Single universal binary, that can be natively executed on every hardware platform Mac OS X was made for (32/64 bit, PowerPC/x86/AppleSilicon). 2. Minimalistic gadget-style design. If launched as a tool, there is no menubar, no dock icon, no nothing, just the clock window. 3. Support for hidpi and dark mode for environments, that have them. 4. Window title bar for moving the window with a mouse, and a handle to resize it (latter for OS versions, that have it). 5. Can be easily ported to GNUStep and thus other OSes (sources under GPLv3). 6. Simple Makefile build system.

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…

Many years ago, I made VJ softwares (to mix live visuals in clubs) for unexpected platforms like the Game Boy Advance, the Playstation 2 and the Raspberry Pi. This year, I’m back with a new web-app: Pikimov. Inspired by Photopea (a free Photoshop clone), I created this web-based motion design & video editor as an alternative to After Effects, to fill empty void. It's free, without signup, without cloud uploads (your files stay on your machine), and your projects are not used for AI models training.
