I built Ledge, a small native macOS menu-bar app (Swift/AppKit) that works as a temporary shelf for files.

• Shake a drag to open a shelf, drop files on it, then drag them out wherever you need them.

• It has a built-in image converter. It reads HEIC, JPG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, WebP, PDF and more, and writes WebP, PNG, JPEG or GIF.

• You can ignore specific apps or file types so they never open a shelf. The newest version also has a toggle to ignore dragged text snippets.

• It's about 3 MB on disk and runs entirely on your Mac. The only network feature is an optional iCloud Drive link.

• The license is Apache 2.0.

Install:

brew install --cask NeeL21YT/ledge/ledge

You can also download the DMG or build it from source. Repo: https://github.com/NeeL21YT/Ledge

Caveats: the download is Apple silicon only (Intel Macs can build from source) and needs macOS 13+. It's ad-hoc signed, not notarized, so the Homebrew cask clears the quarantine flag for you. Feedback and issues are welcome.

To be honest im apalled at reddit attacks at open source.

Are you wishing you had something simpler and faster and cleaner than CMake? I've been building pcons, an open source build system, since January. Build descriptions are plain Python; pcons generates Ninja files and runs the build. Zero-install if you have uv: just uvx pcons. It's explainable, debuggable and sensible, with nice error messages.

It knows C, C++ (with C++20 modules), Fortran, Swift, CUDA, WebAssembly and Qt 6, plus installers and Android/iOS cross-builds and a lot more. I'm a serious Emmy-winning software engineer with 40+ years of experience as a toolsmith, so it's well tested: over 6,500 tests and 99 examples run on all three OSes on every commit, and I rebuild a dozen real open source projects with it before each release.

I was one of the original SCons developers, so this is my take on what a modern build tool should be. It's AI-assisted (Claude Code), with my thoughtful design and careful review. It's a serious tool for serious users.

Wanted to share about this release because it seems cool and it brought comptime features into language.

Zeen - a statically typed modern systems programming language. It uses move semantics (not borrow checker, just move semantics) to control data flow, which makes easier to manage memory (especially drops) while leaving more control and freedom to you.

It has editors support (via LSP + TreeSitter/Grammar extension), package manager Zora (which inspired by cargo) and pretty nice set of libraries: core and std.

Yesterday it got v0.4.0 update released, which was a huge update mostly in compiler frontend: frontend performance (about 16x on basic check, 12x on full build), MIR fixes.

But the coolest feature in my opinion: compile time engine, you can see some good examples of it in changelog (attached link)

Would appreciate if you'd leave a star on Github, it will help a lot!

r/kde is toxic AF, I hope u guys are not like that T_T

I recently started working on a brand new window manager with a search app.

The code is mostly done with ai so far but I’ve been using it on two systems for a few weeks.

Repo is https://github.com/midnightbsd/midnight-wm/

I’m targeting MidnightBSD specifically but it should run on FreeBSD and possibly other operating systems.

I also have developed a simple chat app (not pictured) with it that can talk to local ollama or other open ai compatible endpoints. It has basic tool call support for web searches, file system searches and package management queries.

It is a social network and a feed aggregator; you can engage with a welcoming community, as well as view and publish posts from the Fediverse, Bluesky, Mastodon, Reddit, and Threads!
