@sindresorhus how is it? Can you recommend this or is the social Plattform still silent?

@sindresorhus
I love this app. Clean, simple. Does just one thing but does it well.
10/10. No notes.

Why? It didn't reach the success I had hoped for and I want to reduce support (and troll) burden.

@sindresorhus keep it in church.

@sindresorhus Never!

@sindresorhus now my workplace’s git pre-commit hooks replace all my code anyway.
Starting to think my decades long holy crusade was… silly?

@sindresorhus Like somebody already said, there was an implementation of something like this in Firefox where you could add your own options to the native menu. All the other options suppress the native context menu which I think is not optimal, but it works in some app like contexts, like Nextcloud or VSCode

Reason #4221 why I prefer native development 🤷‍♂️

@sindresorhus or a typeahead multi select... so much design system effort goes towards implementing that one component

@sindresorhus looks like there is an xdg portal available for this, not sure how many desktop environments make use of this, but al least GNOME.

@sindresorhus I think this video of Linus would resonate:

The gist being that Linux is ultimately too fractured. There is a Linux Desktop Diaspora, if you will.

@sindresorhus

Somone laughed at me today... does that count?

Good thing competition is on equal ground 🤷‍♂️

@sindresorhus @podfeet It would seem I need to check back in with all things podfeet. I spent a good 2-3 hours yesterday learning some lua trying to pass a NVIM selection into Tenor to speed up writing blog posts.

@sindresorhus Thank you for all the years! I loved it!

@sindresorhus how do you know they're going to charge? Some secret source? can't find anything. I'm also using their api...

@jsnell so, I don't use Macs, and I am pretty much an outside observer.

To be honest this (admittedly strange) solution makes me wonder, what the heck are they responding to?

Have there been some particularly horrific crimes? Theft of plain people's money? Or has this led to hacks of Apple itself!

Maybe if the crimes were bad enough the heavy hammer is justified.

@jsnell @nicklockwood @9to5Mac personally, I agree but there are problems like spyware which get nasty (did “you” approve it or was that your abusive spouse when you used the bathroom?) which makes me wish they had put the effort into visibility so there isn’t a way to capture the screen without user awareness.

@jsnell it’s the same as on iOS where it asks you for continuing confirmation about location-tracking or background-refresh permissions. Not exactly intrusive and helps stop the “grant all permissions to everything, forever” mindset.

@sindresorhus I use this https://github.com/simonw/files-to-prompt all the time to bundle up repositories and shove them into 4o or sonnet. @simon has several utilities that are great for this. ttok and strip-tags too.

Otherwise I use typingmind.com and the (VERY) basic RAG to give me some control over what is pulled into chat.

@sindresorhus Greptile AI does that: https://www.greptile.com/

As a new developer, I used it to understand a large open-source codebase that was too big for other AI chats. Greptile answered my basic questions which led to a successful PR for a bug fix.

But for my personal (small) SwiftUI projects, I prefer ChatGPT and Claude AI. It's easier to just drag and drop my latest files from Xcode's Project navigator to keep those chats updated. Greptile seems to be most useful with large projects.

@sindresorhus maybe Glean?

@sindresorhus is there any way for us to pass an mp3 through this for analysis? :-)

@sindresorhus Did I understand correctly that you can use it to create Siri shortcuts?

@sindresorhus @matthiasott Individual app settings coming soon?

This could eliminate the need for Bartender/Ice for some users.

And it can also let you fit more of my menu bar apps in your menu bar: https://sindresorhus.com/apps/menu-bar

@sindresorhus Fun fact: This can be done in Linux with CSS via Gnome Shell.

@sindresorhus Cool, I’ll probably use this app.

Suggestion - if you could add links to open network and/or wi-fi settings I could probably remove the wi-fi icon from my menu bar and just use this app instead 😊

@sindresorhus as a non-mac user, surprised to hear this isn't something already provided by the OS...

sweet app, though! love small utilities like this—focused on one particular thing, nothing more, nothing less :)

@sindresorhus Cool! I noticed that if online-check isn’t in the main menu bar but rather in Bartender’s secondary bar, it doesn’t turn red when my Mac is offline. It _does_ turn red when in the main menu bar. Is that expected behavior?

@sindresorhus How often do you find yourself bumping up against the edges of SwiftUI on macOS? I hit them often and wonder if I'm just holding it wrong…

@sindresorhus I love the icon! ;-)
