sebmaynardon Show HN: Better Hub – A better GitHub experience

On mobile (Firefox android) you can't see the video overview - so I have absolutely no information to go on as to what this is, other than it wants a lot of permissions, and to sign in with my GitHub account.

sebmaynardon Show HN: Resizer2 – i3/KDE window movement on Windows

I used to use AltSnap (https://github.com/RamonUnch/AltSnap) which works extremely well, and supports template snap zones.

Recently I wrote my own and now use that daily instead, which supports similar functionality (alt+drag) but also "zooming" in/out and panning around the desktop

I'm one of those people. Absolutely can't stand it

sebmaynardon I'm terrified of old people

Kudos to you gaining the self awareness to realise you don't know shit; I'm 40 now and it's taken me until relatively recently for that to dawn on me.

Enjoyed the article, keep writing!

sebmaynardon A most profound video game: a good cognitive aid for research

Also available on Google Play Store [1], and it successfully derailed my sleep plans last night. Really breaks your expectations of "I move the character around" within minutes.

It reminds me a bit of the card game Fluxx [2], where every card you play changes the rules.

Long live Tony the Pony.

sebmaynardon I used AI to make an app to help me with my ADHD

The one that set off the light bulb for me was a book called The ADHD Effect on Marriage. 2 years ago I got a formal diagnosis having completed the DIVA (and got full marks )

Lightshot is a great app for exactly this. And lines, boxes etc

sebmaynardon Alpine-term: x86_64 under QEMU with termux on Android

This project runs a full-blown qemu-based VM on Android running alpine Linux. Written by one of the maintainers of termux, and genuinely useful having "real" (not proot) Linux on my phone

Performance is surprisingly ok too - I'm using it on a OnePlus 8 Pro, and happily running my erlang development environment in it. Docker works too, albeit with a slight performance penalty

sebmaynardon Beeware – Android and iOS Apps in Python

Here's a project the Beware team built, there's an iOS version built from the same source too

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keith_mage...

Also a note re their platform compatibility, it's not just Android and iOS: iOS, Android, Windows, MacOS, Linux, Web, and tvOS

Looks very interesting, going to give it a go adding guis to some existing cli python toys I've built
