Viberunner – build personal desktop apps in seconds
I kept seeing people making macOS apps for their one-off use cases and automations. I thought surely the hassle of paying for an Apple dev account and fighting with code signing and notarization would be a deterrent for most people. Viberunner is a container environment that lets you build macOS apps with simple prompts. You can run the apps in a new tab, a new window, or even as a system menu bar app. You can create things like: - a clipboard manager - an image redactor - a note-taking tool that saves a daily note to a folder on your desktop - a desktop organizer that cleans up your…

It's totally free during alpha. I'd really just like feedback to know if this is useful or not! People I've shown this to said it was really cool, but is it useful? Would love your feedback :) (demo video: https://x.com/moughxyz/status/1932423349738860979)

Hey HN! Pilots everywhere are required to keep a logbook of all their flying hours, aircraft, airports, and so on. Since I track everything digitally (some people still just use paper logbooks!), I put together some data visualizations and a few 3D globes to show my flying history. This globe is probably my favourite so far: https://jameshard.ing/pilot/globes/all If you’ve got ideas for other graphs or ways to show this kind of data, I’d love to hear them!

I was the main contributor to workout.lol, an open-source fitness app to easily build a workout routine. The project had traction (1.4k GitHub stars, 95 forks, ~20K visits/month), but was eventually sold due to video licensing hurdles. The new owner stopped maintaining it, and the repo went abandoned. Over the next 9 months, I sent 15 emails to try to save it : no replies. Feature requests & issues were ignored. The community was left with a "broken" tool let's say. I couldn't just let it die So I built the new version from scratch with the same open-source spirit, but a better…
