Not at all! Current implementation is too easy to use "wrong". Index isn't really built for large trees. Working on a different take on it

lol

It was Tahoe only at first but quite a few people asked me to lax the version requirement and now you're telling me that's a problem too?

The index isn't for all the files. Of course, if one adds all the files anyway the experience should be better than what you describe.

There's a "Spotlight search" action that open a Finder window with the search query. I think that's how it'll work for now re: spotlight

Love that you're calling it a "marketing site" Indexing is meant to be as fast as possible. It's good enough for my needs. You can add custom folders and/or their contents to the global index. Which I think would be the equivalent of "in" search?

I need to what? The website?

Great notes! Thanks. The onboarding thing is fixed in next version.

You're not gonna like my word processor called "Sausages and bacon"

Swift. I'm currently dog-fooding the implementation for many of the built-ins and the store downloadable ones. I want to let the API and approach settle a bit before making it public but they'll be Swift based and hopefully easy enough for someone experienced in any kind of programming to implement with the help of an AI agent or on their own.

Why?
mikker··on Tuna: A new, modern, modal launcher for macOS
Haha ... so ... it worked?

If it looks like I'm excited it's only because I am

Never forget! I've dm'ed with and shown Tuna to Alcor and he's been kind enough to bless both the app and my efforts. Great guy

Hey nerds! I made Tuna – happy to answer any and all questions. Thank you for posting it OP!

I do this too. I use my app Sprinkles to do it. For Mac, you can inject your own js or css into any site.

mikker··on Design System Options for Rails
Thank you so much!
mikker··on Design System Options for Rails
I'm currently building one called Nitro Kit.

Everyone seems to have their own opinion on what something like this should and should be or do. Nitro Kit is my opinion and I'm getting a lot of joy from using it on my own sites and services.

It's free and open source and, full disclaimer, there's a paid premium offering too.

Here's a video about my reasoning behind building it:

mikker··on Bootstrapping 10er, a Patreon-similar service for Danish creators
Exactly. I fully support anyone’s right to say what they want. But I’m a business and if your business is racist bullshit (for example) I don’t want to do business with you.

I’m not censoring nor silencing nor putting anyone in prison. But I’m politely refusing to receive your money and work with you.

Money isn’t everything.

Not really. I have the same policy of not allowing hate speech and the like. I don't see myself as a "Patreon competitor" in that sense. Without getting myself into a debate I've only read a little about, I think good on them for controlling who gets to use their platform. I don't think of that as censorship, really.

I have no plans to add anything but Stripe, no. I realize how vulnerable that makes me and my relationship with them but you have to trust someone. I have used Paypal before and I didn't like it at all.

Thanks! I like to share.

JS is he way Stripe works and without Stripe there's no 10er. You're the first one to mention this though. So while I agree that it's not without problems, I'm not sure it's holding that many donators back.

mikker··on Bootstrapping 10er, a Patreon-similar service for Danish creators
Never thought about it that way but I see your point!

Patreon is a nice service and I use it to give back to several projects. But I don't use any of the things (I suppose) I get in return.

Thank you for spreading the word!

It actually isn't! I've recently done most of the work of translating it to English. So anywhere Stripe Connect is, I am.

Creator of 10er here! Happy to answer any questions.
