I took the initial "type" to be more of a difficulty or question-types, not about missions. Even so, clicking the bottom I get this:

> The mission of your game. Complete all your levels and achievements, and you can return to London a success. Can you go to London yet? Nope!

Which is both confusing (I am in London) and aimless ("Do everything"). Definitely needs some more attention.

I also wish I could click-and-drag the cards, or simply click to focus, keeps tripping me up.

Nice, definitely gave backpacker vibes.

Some issues:

- It doesn't "feel" like a game, it felt a bit aimless. Maybe some missions like travel to X countries, do Y things, within Z starting budget. - The "X" at the top of the screen feels disjointed. - The popup covers the pin sometimes. - I wanted to click the departures to travel onwards. - Clicking the true/false feels odd, I was not sure whether I correctly guessed or not sometimes.

Is this genre alive at all nowadays?

I made ScreenMemory. Usually the performance issues happen when users have high resolution monitors (often multiple) and set it to take screenshots very often (like every 2 seconds). It's fair because that's sort of how Rewind works, but ScreenMemory is generally built with longer intervals in mind, the default is 60s. I use this on my 2016 MBP without performance issues.

I have some improvements in the pipeline for lower capture intervals though.

It feels like it is primarily a creative outlet.

I don't know how others use it, but to me the staging area only lives for X seconds and acts as a last stop to simply select the exact changes and lines I want to actually commit. With a GUI, it becomes crystal clear as to what it is.

From what I can tell about JJ's split command, it seems like it does the same thing except you're working backwards to split out changes into another commit.

Both seems fine, I just don't see the complexity with the staging area (unless you're a beginner who's been told to only use the CLI at all costs).

Not OP, but I've been using SourceTree for over a decade. I've tried loads, but the only one that I have semi-moved to recently is Fork.

What is wrong with staging? I don't even consider staging until it is time to commit, at which point it is a little area to gather the exact changes you need.

People adding a fun little visual gag to their own personal website is not active malice to you.

Your assumed scenario was a magic button to recompile it.

Only one AI section out of 12 total sections, and while the second section has an AI example, it's only one out of five.

It's basically Alfred with more (?) functionality. Which is basically Spotlight with more functionality. Which is basically a tool to "do stuff" from anywhere on the device.

Same with Red Alert (etc) through the modern rewrite OpenRA (https://www.openra.net/). Similarly there is a guy FiveAces who has been commenting videos for nearly a decade.

I am sure there are people who has moved to macOS that grew on playing eg. Red Alert 1 who gladly would pay some amount of money to instantly own and play it again for some nostalgia.

And by this I mean myself.

Not sure to be honest, I know a lot of these tools popped up and swiftly disappeared. It wouldn't surprise me if there is a Linux version still alive though, try searching for "Rewind.ai alternative Linux".

https://screenmemory.app is my current project as of a year or so. Records your screen continuously and lets you look back at it through a GUI. I use it myself to recap days or weeks at work, mostly.

My favorite pasttime in HL/CS back in the day was bhopping and kz_. To some degree I think it has too responsive movement. I recently went back to play HL and I fell down so many crates due to the instant movement, having been used to some inertia in games since.

Similar here, documents goes into the documents drawer. Digital documents has been going into /Dropbox/docs/$current_year (without much organization within them). New year, new folder.

I assumed this is what they are trying to do with Deadlock [0]?

Very cool. I also come across people having used my apps for literal years, it's a small subset but they are distinct and super appreciated.

Hopefully there is some progress, but if not, I suppose it's a success already anyway, and less weight on your shoulders.

Nice. I am a fellow "more than a decade" maintainer of an app, and it's been fun. Some questions come to mind.

- Do you have some sort of community around the app?

- Do you have a steady (or maybe dwindling) stream of feedback?

- Any power users?

- Have you tried to reinvent the app in any way? (My app is on the third "sequel" where each one gathered some renewed interest).

- What made you open source it? Do you feel like you're "letting it go" by open sourcing it? (I could imagine myself feeling this way).

Do you not use a desktop environment? Loads of software is being made (and I only know the macOS side of it). Window managers, compression tools, utilities, powerhouse tools like Photoshop, text editors, IDEs, etc.

I myself build software in this space and generally its productivity-ish-tools.

Here's a list of 70 macOS apps that received updates _today_ https://macupdater.com/app_updates/index-2025-01-27.html

> why unify the software and make it easy for the consumer

I honestly believe that selling them as separate products is easier. Both for the company who can focus in on the advertising, and for 99% of the customers who can go straight to their hobby.

That being said, it does look like the very first watch on their website is specifically in its own multi-sport category.

Highlighting the valid squares to shoot to would be nice

I live in Thailand and I've seen _government software_ built in Unity. Please do not do this. Convention, accessibility, and feel, is simply not there.

Nice. Game looks nice, but I realized that I don't really know of any painters so I got out quite fast again. Maybe hints or straight up "J _ _ o r _ _" if hints aren't enough. Potentially turning it into a teaching tool as well, about these painters.

Feedback from someone who bounced within the first second because of the signup requirement. I would like the play it but honestly I couldn't care less about the leaderboards.

I once had a four year overdue reminder to setup gmail backups, still haven't set it up.

Yep, very similar. A host of tools similar have come (and gone) in the past year alone from what I've seen. Most of them seems to focus on the AI aspect though.

Fun fact, while the app is only a bit over a year old, I was doing something similar with a simple cron job nearly a decade ago: https://jontelang.com/blog/2015/08/15/automating-screenshots...

I've shared ScreenMemory [0] before, but I just released a 2.0 redesign so why not. It records your (macOS) screen and gives a calendar / timeline to explore. You can then revisit what you did. I use it daily and mainly to go through my day before standups, it's incredibly how much side-tracking I do and completely forget each day.

Tech is quite simple, all native frameworks from Apple. OCR included!

I make macOS apps [0], the revenue is irregular but on average it fits the $500/m. The main driver is [1] ScreenMemory, which records your screens and allows you to navigate a timeline / calendar. Sort of a Rewind.ai alternative.
