Windowfied

My friend was saying to me today that dir in windows is superior to ls in every way. So I created windowfied for macOS on homebrew. This is dumb. I hope you love it. brew install mnky9800n/tools/windowfied https://windowfied.com/

In plain words

Windowfied is a macOS command-line tool available via Homebrew that replicates Windows' dir command functionality on Apple computers. Designed for developers and command-line users who prefer Windows-style directory listing over macOS's native ls command, it brings familiar Windows behavior to Unix-based systems. The tool is installed through Homebrew and appeals to users who want a humorous or practical alternative to standard macOS commands.

    I'm an airline pilot – I built interactive graphs/globes of my flights▲1,539

    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!

  • Workout.cool – Open-source fitness coaching platform▲827

    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…
