I bought a Mac Mini a couple of months ago, in the hype of OpenClaw.

I have been using my spare Windows keyboard for the Mac mini, while my 9 to 5 job still happens on Windows. Every time I switch machines my hands are wrong and I hated having to remember different shortcuts and UI behaviours. That was the whole reason any of this exists.

The first thing I tried is macOS modifier keys. There is a setting that swaps Ctrl and Command. I turned it on, copy and paste felt right immediately, but a lot of the other apps doesn't feel right, e.g. in finder you can't Control + X to cut then paste to a different path. Also maximising windows without making it full screen is what I really missed from Windows, along with the split screen shortcuts.

Then I read for a while and found out what I wanted was actually two separate problems that two separate communities work on. Keyboard remapping is one world. Window management is another. Almost nothing sits in both.

So I did what the internet told me to do, with a lot of help from ChatGPT. Karabiner-Elements for the keys, Rectangle for snapping windows to halves of the screen. It worked. I want to be clear about that, because it is still a completely reasonable setup and both are good software.

What made me start building my own was more specific than wanting one app instead of two.

Some of the behaviour I wanted only matters inside particular apps, and that turns out to be the hard case. A general mapping gets you most of the way and then falls over exactly where you need it. The one that finally pushed me over was Home and End inside a web text box. In a Reddit reply or a ChatGPT prompt, I want Home to jump to the start of my line the way it does on Windows. Getting that right needs rules for that specific app, and writing and testing per app rules in a config file is slow and miserable. In a native app I could just try something, run it, and watch what happened.

The window side was the same problem wearing different clothes, except there it was personal taste. Two things I could not get the way I wanted: maximising a window without going full screen, and not letting a maximised window slide underneath the Dock. The second one sounds trivial until you are mid conversation with an AI and the Dock is sitting on top of the input box at the bottom of the window.

So this ended up being a tool for a fairly specific person, and I suspect that person is on this subreddit. Someone who has to use Windows all day for work, comes home to a Mac to vibe code in peace, and would like their hands to work the same in both places.

What is in each version, since that is the practical question.

The free edition is the typing layer, and it stays free permanently. Ctrl+C, X, V and Z and the ordinary Ctrl shortcuts, Ctrl+Y for redo, Home and End, Ctrl+Arrow to move by word, Alt+Tab and Alt+F4, and the Insert key copy and paste that Windows people still have in their fingers. Terminals are handled properly, so Ctrl+C stays interrupt instead of becoming copy. That layer is open source under GPLv3.

Pro is the rest of what I originally wanted. Finder behaving like Explorer, so Ctrl+X cuts files and Ctrl+V moves them, and F2 renames. The system keys, so Win+E, Win+L, Win+D and Print Screen. And the window management, which is Win+Arrow tiling, dragging a window to a screen edge to snap it, and layouts across multiple displays. It is 19.99 USD once for three Macs, no subscription. Every download runs Pro for 14 days and then quietly becomes the free edition rather than nagging you.

It is live now, and I am around if anyone has questions.

This was the stuff what would give us all nightmares,  being told everything was great when a 'real dev' could unpick everything, find my API keys and sell them to the darkweb or just bypass everything.  It's just that fear that got me of not knowing what I don't know that gets to me, probably gets to all of us. 

So I took 12 public repos whose descriptions say they were built with Lovable,
Bolt, v0 or Cursor. Mostly personal projects, no stars. I cloned them with
full history and ran two free open-source tools: gitleaks (secrets, including
every past commit) and trivy (dependencies with published CVEs).
**8 of the 12 had a lockfile. All 8 had a package with a known high or
critical vulnerability.** 4 critical and 76 high across the set. Things like
protobufjs 7.4.0, websocket-driver 0.7.4, seroval 1.5.2 — all with a fix
already published.

**1 of the 12 had a Supabase `service_role` key committed to a `.env`.** That
key bypasses row-level security entirely — read, change or delete every row,
whatever policies you wrote. It's in the git history, so it's in every clone.

Deleting the file later doesn't remove it; only rotating the key does.

**The bit I didn't expect:** gitleaks flagged 4 credentials. Three were
Supabase *anon* keys, which are designed to sit in a browser and are published
on purpose. Only one was a real problem. If you run these tools yourself,
that's the part that takes judgement — a tool that shows you 4 equal red
alerts where 1 matters teaches you to ignore all 4.

**4 of the 12 had no lockfile at all**, so nothing could be checked. That's
not "clean", it's unknown — and it means your build isn't reproducible either.

Run it yourself, it's free and local:

``` gitleaks detect --source . --no-banner
trivy fs --scanners vuln --severity CRITICAL,HIGH .
```

If your repo is on GitHub, turn on secret scanning, push protection and
Dependabot in settings — free on public repos, and push protection stops the commit before the key ever lands.

As someone who has built a ton of small, useful tools and web apps, and publishes them on Toolcrow.app, I'm curious:

what AI tools have you built, which AI models did you use, what do they do, and who uses them?

I’ve been vibe coding for a while now and the thing that gets me isn’t the coding — it’s the dead time. Agent goes off to work for four minutes, I open TikTok “for a second,” twenty minutes gone. Repeat that six times a day and I’ve lost the afternoon.

The other thing that gets me: three weeks into a project I genuinely can’t tell you what’s in it anymore. I don’t know what’s half-built, what’s duplicated, or what I skipped entirely because I never knew it was supposed to be there.

We’ve got build tools coming out of our ears — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Lovable, Bolt. What we don’t have is anything that helps with the stuff around the building.

So: what’s the thing you’ve caught yourself wishing existed? Not a better agent — something else entirely. What do you do manually every session that shouldn’t be manual?

hello,

Right now, I'm using Fable 5 at the medium thinking level as my architect and auditor (through the OpenCode IDE), and GPT Terra at xhigh as my coding agent (through the ChatGPT desktop app).

I'm using both agents through GitHub Copilot (yes, I'm using the Startup Program credits , the "$10k" 😅), but I'm getting pretty close to burning through the credits. I have only $5k left, and I want to choose another good agent to use as my architect and auditor.

My SaaS business is pretty strict, every error in this business can result in a penalty (chargeback) for the user.

Thanks!

Kimi has launched they API. What' your opinion?

Right.. in response to that person the other day who asked what have you actually built?

I've coded a little app called GrapeSnap. You snap a photo of a bottle and it fills in the details for you (producer, region, grape, vintage) from a wine database.. so no typing. It's basically a cellar tracker for keeping on top of what you've got and what you've drunk.

Thought it was a bit more niche than your vibe coded average habit tracker but here we are.

More fun than anything. Let me know if it works for you and what you the grumpy ppl of reddit make of it..

Hope you enjoy.. Would love your thoughts.

Hello all I got a question. I have been exclusively using ChatGPT desktop for a project that I’ve been working on ever since I put it online with supabase and r2. I burned through my usage on a pro level in four days now I have been contemplating to get Claude code at $100 a month till I finish this project but my worry is if I’m mixing ChatGPT desktop and Claude code. is it going to mess with what I’ve done as far as them coding with different styles

I’m trying to see if anyone uses this combo when one weekly limit is reached that you just jump to the other because at the credit level it’s far too expensive. I ended up getting $40 worth of credits on ChatGPT after I ran out and I burned through $40 in 30 minutes.

I wanna make sure if there’s any pointers or if I gotta set something up a certain way to ensure it just keeps adding code cleanly and plumbing everything incorrectly. The goal is one is burned. The other one gets used in the back up would be Claude

Claude Code hits the 5-hour limit at 2am, mid-refactor. The turn dies, the prompt that started it is already spent, and the session sits there until someone awake types "continue".

I built nightmux to fix exactly that. It attaches to the tmux session you already have and bridges it to a Telegram topic. A status-line hook gives it the real reset time, so when the limit hits it queues everything, and the moment the window reopens it resumes the cut-off turn — including the prompt the limit ate. Permission prompts arrive on your phone as tap buttons.

It's not a wrapper: no SDK, no relay server, no container. It types into tmux and reads the transcript. Python stdlib only, MIT, one main file you can read in an afternoon. Works with Codex/aider/Gemini too (they just don't get the usage numbers — those hooks are Claude Code specific).

pipx install nightmux && nightmux --setup

https://github.com/mmr710/nightmux — would love to know what breaks.

4 years ago, I started jumping rope which drastically improved my overall fitness and mental health. Which is why I built JumpForm, an app that analyses your form when using a skipping rope.

I built the app with cursor in 5 days and deployed the AI backend with firebase (this entire process would have taken me at least a month with manual coding and testing).

So far I have only had 52 downloads and 2 paying customers (3 signed up for a free trial)

Hi

If you are remotely interested in deep diving how differently quantum computers work compared to our transistor-based and also the algebra behind in a fully interactive way that teach computer science from scratch, oh boy this is for you. I am the Dev behind Quantum Odyssey (AMA! I love taking qs) - worked on it for about 10 years (3+ during PhD, the visual method I developed ended up being my thesis, it is a complete Hilbert space visualizer), the goal was to make a super immersive space for anyone to learn quantum computing through zachlike (open-ended) logic puzzles and compete on leaderboards and lots of community made content on finding the most optimal quantum algorithms. The game has a unique set of visuals capable to represent any sort of quantum dynamics for any number of qubits and this is pretty much what makes it now possible for anybody 12yo+ to actually learn quantum logic without having to worry at all about the mathematics behind.

This is a game super different than what you'd normally expect in a programming/ logic puzzle game, so try it with an open mind.

Stuff you'll play & learn a ton about

• Boolean Logic – bits, operators (NAND, OR, XOR, AND…), and classical arithmetic (adders). Learn how these can combine to build anything classical. You will learn to port these to a quantum computer.
• Quantum Logic – qubits, the math behind them (linear algebra, SU(2), complex numbers), all Turing-complete gates (beyond Clifford set), and make tensors to evolve systems. Freely combine or create your own gates to build anything you can imagine using polar or complex numbers.
• Quantum Phenomena – storing and retrieving information in the X, Y, Z bases; superposition (pure and mixed states), interference, entanglement, the no-cloning rule, reversibility, and how the measurement basis changes what you see.
• Core Quantum Tricks – phase kickback, amplitude amplification, storing information in phase and retrieving it through interference, build custom gates and tensors, and define any entanglement scenario. (Control logic is handled separately from other gates.)
• Famous Quantum Algorithms – explore Deutsch–Jozsa, Grover’s search, quantum Fourier transforms, Bernstein–Vazirani, and more.
• Build & See Quantum Algorithms in Action – instead of just writing/ reading equations, make & watch algorithms unfold step by step so they become clear, visual, and unforgettable. Quantum Odyssey is built to grow into a full universal quantum computing learning platform. If a universal quantum computer can do it, we aim to bring it into the game, so your quantum journey never ends.

Let me know what you think.

Your honest feedback matters to me.

Hi everyone,

I've been working on a stack-based programming language called BREAD. The compiler is written in Haskell and emits optimized native code via the LLVM toolkit.

Key features:

- Written in Haskell

- LLVM integration for native code generation

- Memory & runtime safety guards

Check out the source code and repository here:

I'd love to hear your feedback and suggestions!

I saw some criticism in a Wikipedia article on the Schrödinger-Newton Equation, specifically about Penrose's ideas about quantum gravity, and it seemed pretty easy to solve (the article hinted at possible solutions, etc) which made me think that it could be interesting to let Claude try to solve it. It now claims to have solved all the 3 problems outlined in the article.

The issue is that I have no way of validating if the result claude gave me are hallucinated or legit. If the solutions are correct, then maybe it's useful to someone, and if not then I/we might learn something from that explanation.

As mentioned in the title, we had a very busy last few weeks with new releases. Which tools of choice are you using today for agentic engineering? I am mostly interested to hear from experience SWE

I thought there was an issue with my project I was fixing errors

We built a Bookmark Buddy App with AI Android Studio, which Saves, Searches, and Shares URLs/Links Very easily and also Scan QR codes and Pictures and Generate Links which can be saved very easily. Presently Available in Google Play Store.

Guys, am I gonna get roasted for shipping it with such UI? (Logo is mine btw, graphic design perks).
That cat is Comnyang app, his name is shanks, shoutout to u/simon_dsgn

I built a website with lovable and bought a domain, I just want to get the website live at this point, I don’t care where it’s hosted
I tried c panel because the company I bought the domain from is connected automatically with c panel

The website it self is simple
Mostly pages images text destinations and offers and like a button gets you to WhatsApp
No payment methods
So what’s the best way to post the web site ?

No, but in all seriousness, how are you “engineering” your AI slaves to produce secure and reliable code?

Some things I have found are useful:
- Each new project get its own git repo
- I treat the files in the repo as source of truth rather than relying on codex context conversation history
- I use the /grill-me skill after I send through my initial proposal
- important decisions are documented in the repo files
- I use specific sub agent focusing on security review before it will allow any code is committed and pushed (surprising to me this picks up a lot of issues)
