For several years I have used a utility I built to give me an alternative to the Start menu. I have always preferred being able to right click anywhere on the desktop and have my custom menu options right there. And I don't mean a customized desktop menu on right click, but a completely custom menu, just the programs I want, nothing else. Sometimes I still need the default desktop menu, so if <SHIFT> or <CTRL> are down with the right click, the regular Windows menu comes up.
Is that something anyone else would be interested in?
Hey folks, I m an indie developer working on a companion chatbot. My goal? To make it feel less like a disposable utility you shut off, and more like that friend who you actually care about checking in on.
At first, I thought, Isn t conversational AI companionship an obvious demand? People talk to smart speakers all the time! But I quickly realized: without a sense of rights + obligations, even the smartest model feels like a close tab and forget widget. After all, our warmest interactions with pets or dolls come from a shared sense of social exchange and life rights.
I'm Jamey, a software engineer/wannabe founder still building products for Windows and macOS. Is anyone else doing that? It seems like everything today is all about mobile, which is great, but there's still a lot of daily business run on desktops. I've been working on a side project, mostly for fun, and I'm curious if other people would find it useful. How do people feel about an app that lets you build desktop applications for Windows and macOS using JavaScript, but with native UI controls? There's some more cool features in there too, but I don't want this post to sound like a commercial. Let me know if it sounds interesting!
