WindowSill

Hey everyone! I'm excited to unveil WindowSill, a universal command bar for Windows 10 and 11 that brings AI-powered text assistance and a suite of productivity tools directly to wherever you're working. Why WindowSill? Inspired by the MacBook Touch Bar, StreamDeck, and Apple Intelligence, I wanted a tool that gives context-aware actions without interrupting my workflow. WindowSill is my take on that idea for Windows. What it can do AI text assistant Select any text in any app to summarize, rewrite, translate, or fix grammar instantly. No copy/paste needed. No switching apps needed.…

The command bar for Windows that puts clipboard, media, meetings, and more at your fingertips. A few testimonies extracted from Microsoft Store and YouTube. A window sill is the ledge at the bottom of a window, the place where you keep things within arm's reach. WindowSill does the same for your desktop: a slim bar between your taskbar and your apps, holding every tool you need. Media controls live right in the bar. Skip tracks, pause, or adjust your music without moving your hands or breaking focus. Works with Spotify, YouTube, Netflix, Apple Music, Deezer, and virtually any media player on your system.

    Hey everyone, I'm excited to share Heynds, a new desktop app for macOS and Windows (Linux coming soon!) that combines voice dictation with a powerful AI writing assistant to significantly boost your productivity. First and foremost, I know that many solutions like this already exist, but I needed my own, something faster than all the others, that both integrates speech-to-text and a writing assistant in an all-in-one app. The core idea is to let you work much faster by: * Voice-to-Text: Speak naturally, and Heynds transcribes your words into perfectly formatted text in real-time. Think of it…

Some of the key features of RewriteBar include: - Correcting grammar errors that even Grammarly may have missed. - Rewriting your text in a different style to give it a fresh perspective. - Translating sentences quickly without the hassle of…

  • I made a built-from scratch Wayland Compositor to display any GUI app* in the terminal! I think there is a lot of unexplored potential in custom Wayland compositors, a lot of really cool things you can embed existing applications into! So, I started with embedding apps into the terminal because that is the easiest input/output (output is just utf-8 and I use the great `chafa` library for that, and I just read from stdin for the input). If you have any other ideas for cool Wayland compositors, let me know. I purposedly wrote 80% the app in Typescript to appeal to the most developers and…

    Years ago I stumbled across a basic version of this concept and it stuck with me. I knew if I was ever going to take on such a project, it would need to be flawless, but without coding experience it was just another idea that would never happen. By the end of 2024, as AI coding tools exploded everywhere, I finally had a way to make it real. I started from zero knowledge and spent months collaborating with AI agents as a learning experience. Every pixel and every function went through me. The AI translated what I asked for into code, but every decision was human. I didn't use existing OS…
