j0r0b0··on Show HN: boringBar – a taskbar-style dock replacement for macOS
Thanks for sharing, added it to macOSWM.com: https://macoswm.com/wm/boringbar
j0r0b0··on Native Instant Space Switching on macOS
There's a lot of great options in the field of macOS window managers. Instant switching to another space is one of the big features I was looking for too.

Exploring wm for macOS, I realized there was a lot of good software, so I built a directory website to try and list them all: https://macoswm.com.

yabai and AeroSpace are two personal favorites. OmniWM [1] is the current favorite on macosWM.com

Very curious to try this app too, if you dont mind sending an invite code.
j0r0b0··on Show HN: Finic – Open source platform for building browser automations
Thank you for sharing!

Your sign up flow might be broken. I tried creating an account (with my own email), received the confirmation email, but couldn't get my account to be verified. I get "Email not confirmed" when I try to log in.

Also, the verification email was sent from accounts@godealwise.com, which is a bit confusing.

j0r0b0··on Ask HN: Where to find open-source house plans?
> You can also check Open Source Home, by Studiolada (those are free, but the plans are in french) https://www.countryliving.com/remodeling-renovation/news/g46...

The plans aren't on the website anymore, but you can get it from https://web.archive.org/web/20170918182346/http://www.studio...

j0r0b0··on Tell HN: News sites may have a “lite” version for low-bandwidth users
Shameless plug: I made a French version of CBC Lite, with contents coming from Radio-Canada.ca[0]. It basically shares the same advantages, but the content is written in French and the build/content is refreshed every 30 minutes. It's built with Eleventy[1].

The project is called Radio-Canada Lite and it's over at https://rc-lite.xyz

j0r0b0··on Ask HN: Show us your low-tech/simple stack side projects
I made Radio-Canada Lite - https://rc-lite.xyz - a static, text-only and low bandwidth version of Radio-Canada's news website (the news articles are in French and targeting Quebecers and French Canadians)

It’s built with Eleventy (https://11ty.dev), and fetches the news articles every 30 minutes from Radio-Canada’s public API.

There’s no ads, no trackers, no pictures. Simple HTML with CSS and a little bit of Javascript.
