mdbraber··on Show HN: Radiobar (MacOS) – Open source app to stream radio in your menubar
I enjoy listening to streaming / online radio and easily switch channels, on/off etc using my keyboard. I used to use a very old version of fStream to do so, but that doesn't work anymore under macOS Mojave.

So I've forked wass3r/RadioBar to build a simple, small open source menubar app for macOS to listen to online radio. It includes a simple script to switch channels, pause/resume etc. (which can be used with Alfred or other launcher).

Built with Python, rumps and vlc.

mdbraber··on Show HN: Fastmate – a native Fastmail-wrapper for Mac
Thanks - looks nice, especially as it's native. I'm using Fluid (fluidapp.com) to wrap Fastmail which also gives the ability to show notifications, show dock badge and handle mailto:. It also allows the use of custom CSS or JS which I find indispensable (see https://github.com/mdbraber/fastmail-customized). For shortcuts I use Keyboard Maestro w/ specific JS commands or URL triggers.
