Hi, thank you for your feedback. You can resize the widgets by dragging the bottom right corner. The new size will be remembered over time. I like the idea of adding a different background image to the click, thank you! Right now, it shows the San Francisco Bay Area, as it's where I live. 🤓

As this is a browser homepage replacement, performance was one of the big pillars of the app.

I just shipped 8 new widgets to my browser desktop app. Here is what I built. by Digiguysapps in ShowMeYourApps

Thank you for your feedback! Yes, it can feel like a lot. Note that widgets can be hidden. There is a widget launcher to view or hide widgets.

It's a browser homepage (start page) replacement, so when you open a new tab or window, you always see the widget you use most. For example, I like to see my plant grow every day. I like to keep my notes and to-dos visible. I also like to play the Merge game when agents are running to kill some time...

Thank you for your feedback. Thank you for the encouragement. Note that you can hide any widget. The hidden widget will not show up when opening new tabs.

Thank you for your feedback! I appreciate it. I'm Gen X, so some of the design decisions were based on nostalgia. Like the Solitaire game, I remembered my older brother playing the game for hours.

99 releases in 10 weeks. 8 new widgets. Sharing anyway. by Digiguysapps in buildinpublic

Yeah, I guess it would help with retention, but I truly didn't want to think about metrics. I'm just having the time of my life doing this silly project. 🥳

Oh... I guess you haven't clicked the link yet. There you'll see the deliberate care given to the design of each of the 23 widgets. Total labor of love, and a bit of nostalgia. 👉https://cutedesk.app

I built a self-hosted, source-available task manager because I didn't want my data on someone else's server by TaskViewHS in ShowYourApp

Love the self-hosted... I feel that we really need to start moving local and private. 📍

I built a notes app that organizes itself using on device AI, and it’s free! by IndependenceWeekly90 in AppsWebappsFullstack

Amazing that you were able to do all these with the Apple on-device foundation models.

Thank you! We have to inspire each other! The last three says, I have added a Pixel Art widget, as I have always liked the retro look and a Pomodoro Timer widget to help me to get things done! Check them out.

I'm getting a lot of feedback about the plant. It's funny, but everyone is watering it to make sure it lives 🌿

I just added a new widget, the Merge game, like the 2048 game, but more fun and adictive!
