Hi HN,my name is Eric, I am from Canada. I love technology, but for a long time now, I feel disrespected by technology.Specifically smartphones and social media. Social media is built to keep you glued to your phone. Smartphones also have too many distractions, it's constantly spying on you (getting ads that are way too specific) and they are difficult to repair / they discourage you from doing it yourself (which voids warranties).Social media can be used for great things (posting for

For the last few years, I’ve been battling a specific kind of burnout: the loneliness of having no one to think with.I have friends and a wife, but they aren't in the trenches with me.

I just finished building ShotSnap, a macOS app that automatically organizes screenshots.Like most people, my desktop ended up full of files named things like “Screenshot 2025-01-16 at 9.55.42 AM.png”. After finishing another project, I realized cleaning that mess manually was painful enough that I wanted to solve it properly.ShotSnap works entirely on-device. Screenshots are categorized, renamed, and organized locally. Nothing is uploaded, there’s no tracking, and no screenshot data leaves the m
Hey Hacker News The ones that know me here know that I am a productivity geek.After DockFlow to manage my Dock and ExtraDock, which gives me more space to manage my apps and files, I decided to tackle the macOS big boss: the menu bar.I spend ~40% of my day context-switching between apps — Zoom meetings, Slack channels, Code projects, and Figma designs. My macOS menu bar has too many useless icons I almost never use.So I thought to myself, how can I use this area to improve my workflows?Most s
