... folks, I mdae Pulse, a small Mac app that turns the MacBook notch into something useful: now playing, meeting controls, clipboard, weather, focus timer, AirDrop shelf, battery, system stats. It lives in the dead pixels you already paid for. 1.2 shipped this week, and it is the first release where I did almost no deciding. I read the emails, counted what people kept asking for, and built those three things. Todos & Reminders Your Apple Reminders, in the island. Overdue ...

... from PH into helping teams evaluate their agents in real time, I'm looking to understand how everyone is doing it. Are you using static evals and running a hit and hope approach? Are you using off the shelf agent evals from OSS? Are you using a tool? I'd love to know so we can improve what we have to make it the world class solution you don't have to think twice about when building your agents. Matt ...

... things and a remote for your meetings. Here's what's new: Drop to AirDrop Drag files onto the notch and let go. The island opens into a drop target and AirDrop launches with everything ready to send. A shelf, not a slot Screenshots, PDFs and images pile up on the shelf

... contacted. Nothing leaves your machine. Drop zones, plural Drag files onto the notch and the island now opens into two containers side by side. Drop on AirDrop and the picker opens the moment you let go. Drop on Shelf and the files wait there until you send or save them. Displays became a straight multi-select The three placement presets are gone. The Displays pane now lists every connected screen and you tick the ones that should carry an island ...

... good. Every step there is a place to leave, and the person hasn't seen a single reason to stay yet. We were asking for effort before we'd earned any. So we built the opposite: a shelf of documents already loaded and ready to use. Court rulings, SEC filings, university course notes, startup legal templates. You pick one and start asking questions immediately. No file, no upload, no account required to look. The bet is that the first thirty ... ... turns into people uploading their own documents is the number I'm actually watching. What I didn't expect is how much of the work turned out to be curation rather than engineering. Which documents you put on that shelf

... recently shared detailed feedback about how Pocket Screen behaved with Stage Manager. That sent me down a much deeper technical path than I expected. The straightforward implementation did not work: once the source window moved to the Stage Manager shelf, macOS returned only the small shelf

... really give any examples as I forgot them Comment from Adana Marukhyan(@adana): @byalexai  Not all of the stack, of course =) For example, we built an agentic CMS that handles a big part of our workflow. It analyzes competitors, automatically publishes blog content to custom domains, generates and maintains live documentation directly from developers' prompts, and helps us create complete web pages and subpages. Those are the kinds of highly specialized workflows that are worth building in-house because ... ... reused whenever you need it. I really like this fundamental approach: spend time once to create a convenient toolset, then work faster, avoid recurring costs, and have something that fits your process better than a generic off-the-shelf

... down to a much smaller, cheaper set of cases rather than solving it outright Comment from Omri Ben-Shoham(@omri_ben_shoham1): the teammate-with-zero-context trick is a good one, though i'd guess it has a shelf life too - the third time you pull the same person in for a tie break they've absorbed enough of your taste to stop being neutral. might be worth rotating who does it rather than having one designated fresh reader ...

... digging through System Settings Privacy & Security. Just download, drag, done. New features shipping with 1.0 Focus sessions, a typed clipboard with full history, meetings that join themselves, weather, live system stats, device battery at a glance, and a shelf in your notch. Built on your feedback Everyone who downloaded during the beta keeps their founder status. That was the deal, and I'm honouring it. The notch has been dead space on your Mac for years. This weekend ...

... founders and operators here think about this tradeoff. Comment from Leeman K(@makeinit): It depends on their operations and staff willingness to adapt to change. If you are a startup then it would be easy to adopt an off-shelf solution, however then it comes down to cost and complexity, do you really want to have an ERP system for a startup? Another solution is a smaller integrated platform or several apps to assist the operations. For established businesses ... ... human factor seems to be the biggest issue to manage rather than the system and an existing off shelf

... nothing, the reviewer's normal experience becomes an empty screen, and empty screens train people to expect empty. Whether the one that is not empty gets read properly on day forty is an open question. It still beats the alternative, because a difference against a background of silence is about as salient as anything gets. And yes to the small pile. Most of what gets called judgement is work nobody has bothered to make mechanical yet. Comment from Aadil Ghani ... ... aadilghani): @tehreem_fatima5   "If picked up in time" is doing the work now, and it is the one clause a snapshot cannot evaluate about itself. The capture is complete about the agent and silent about the world. Its shelf

... what this is, and if it turns into that, I want you to be the ones who tell me. Here's what it actually is. I still remember Office Depot. Walking the software aisle, boxes on the shelf, flipping one over to check if it would run on my machine. You paid once. You brought it home. It was yours. It ran on your hardware, it didn't phone anyone, and nobody raised your price at renewal or locked your ... ... Windows & macOS. Replaces Wispr Flow ($15/mo). https://onetimesuite.com/wispert... If you tell me what's in your current stack, I'll point you to the one or two that actually fit rather than selling you the whole shelf

... Mahin, the developer of FlowShelf.app Problem:   I built FlowShelf because my Mac menu bar was slowly turning into a collection of tiny utilities. I was using separate apps for clipboard history, drag-and-drop shelf, screenshots, window snapping, Dock/window previews and app cleanup. Comparison:   FlowShelf overlaps with tools like Paste/Maccy, Dropover/Yoink, CleanShot/Shottr, Magnet/Rectangle, AltTab/Dock preview tools and AppCleaner. The difference is that FlowShelf tries to put the common daily tools together in one lightweight native app instead ... ... making you install 5 separate apps. It includes: - clipboard history - temporary drag-and-drop shelf

... part that actually shapes whether someone trusts the product enough to try it, long after the leaderboard stopped mattering to anyone but the founder. so weirdly the thing your friend was neglecting was the thing with the longer shelf life Comment from Ghost Kitty(@ghost-kitty-10013157): Comment Deleted Comment from Neeraj H(@terranicgerald): @mahender_ram  absolutely! that's how things should be. A two person team, at the least, would make a lot of difference. Comment from Neeraj ...

... instead of leaving it entirely in someone else's hands. That said, I think you're asking exactly the right question, because this isn't really an "age" problem it's an adaptability problem. Technology has dramatically shortened the shelf life of skills. Whether you're 25 or 55, if you stop learning for a few years, you can become obsolete. The difference is that younger workers often get the benefit of the doubt, while older workers have to prove ...

... comic reader myself - I got tired of file browsers pretending to be libraries, and apps that either lock basics behind subscriptions or treat your collection like an afterthought. So I built the reader I wanted on my shelf. A library, not a file list Apex is an Android reader built for comics - CBZ and CBR files. Point it at your folder once - series group naturally, progress stays honest, covers and issue details turn raw archives into a shelf

... trust problem you're describing is the core challenge for any warm intro product. "You know someone who knows them" is weak signal. The why now + why this path + what to actually ask is what makes it actionable vs. just informational. Sounds like you're building toward the right thing. Upvoted! If you get a chance, would love a look at AI Hive - we're solving a similar "bridge the gap between knowing and doing" problem on the enterprise ... ... retail investors - most of them don't have 3 hours to parse an earnings call and just want to know if the number matters. Natural language on top of financial data is exactly where AI actually adds value vs

... useful part is not just the model, it s giving it the right tools and boundaries. Comment from Mustafa Arian(@thenameisarian): if i got unlimited Fable for a month, i'd build the thing i've been backlog-shelfing for 18 months: a private agent that watches my git history, slack threads, and PR review comments, and writes the receipts of what i actually did this quarter for performance reviews + investor updates. half of an engineer's real work never ...

... actual insight, and it's bigger than it looks: making the notification say why it's waiting is what turns a ping into a triage. "Done" makes you tab back to find out what "done" means. "Needs approval vs finished vs

... context on whether either price is fair. So we re rebuilding Cannabox as a community-powered cannabis price index. The basic loop is: 1. A user visits a dispensary 2. They submit a real price from a receipt, menu, shelf tag, product label, or photo 3. Cannabox verifies and organizes the submission 4. Other users can compare prices by city, shop, and product type 5. More buyers and shops contribute, making the index more useful over time The goal ...

Next on the roadmap: Smart speaker integrations (Alexa/home speakers) Print-on-demand illustrated books so favorite stories can live on the shelf Building this during maternity leave reminded me that some of the best product ideas come from real life frustrations especially the tiny daily moments you never noticed before becoming a parent.

... were also not available . Winning a badge does not predict survival. A broader analysis of over 123,000 products that launched online between January 2023 and June 2025 found that nearly 30% had already disappeared from the digital shelf . Kantar's data suggests that almost two-thirds of new product launches are dead or dying by the end of their second year . Less than 2% of new products meet the fundamental criteria for distinctiveness, relevance, and endurance. Why "just launch ... ... from building something nobody wanted? Comment from Imed Radhouani(@imed_radhouani): @zhanna_ritchie  That is the part you cannot accelerate. Living with the problem. You can read about it. You can interview people about it. You can study competitors

... emmerita_ambata): This has me thinking differently. As a marketer, I'm all for founder-led content, especially on LinkedIn. I've seen firsthand how much growth and visibility a product gains when a human is talking about it versus posting from a company page where someone is essentially interacting with a logo. I tested both approaches with my first startup. Initially, we hid behind the product; no names in emails, no faces on the landing page. Growth was painfully ... ... public. Comment from Mohit Gupta(@mohit_gupta138): @busmark_w_nika  Ok, if we were to pull on the time thread a bit. Then maybe think about the balance between launching the second service that was tied to you vs
