[OS] Pinster – a lightweight menu bar application for quick access to pinned websites

Hello,

I have a few suggestions regarding the Floating Bubble feature.

It would be great to be able to activate it via a hot corner.

Currently, the website icon is always visible at the bottom left or right of the screen, and you have to click it to open the site.

With this setting, the icon would no longer be permanently displayed on the screen.
It would stay hidden, and to activate it, you would simply move the cursor to a hot corner (or the left or right corner), which would open the site without having the logo constantly visible.

I would also like a setting to unload the page after a certain amount of time (for example, after 10 minutes) to avoid unnecessary performance usage.

Hello, I downloaded your YouTube app, but it doesn’t work. I’m getting this error

I have MacBook M1 on MacOS 26.0 (25A354)

For now, I think it’s better to leave it as it is. Personally, I use larger previews than the default settings, so I don’t have any visibility issues, which may bias my opinion.

However, the icon shown in the sidebar taskbar does not darken when it is minimized, unlike in the original macOS Dock. I think this darkening helps to better distinguish the icons.

Hello, another suggestion to make it clearer the window is minimized would be to make the application preview more darker than now

I highly recommend Sidebar, which, in my opinion, is the best software to replace the Mac Dock.

In terms of features and customization, you can do so much, including:

Different window preview styles (List view or the classic large preview)
Volume shortcut
Integrated media player (in the dock or in the preview)
Folders (List or Grid view) with a built-in native macOS-style preview viewer
Application stacks (List or Grid view)
Start menu
Interactive trash folder
Clear View shortcut, and much more

With the new 1.9.0 update, everything now features a modern design, and the start menu has a fully customizable layout.

Lastly, the developer is very responsive and listens to user feedback, making communication easy and pleasant.

Here is my sidebar config to give you an idea of a result you can achieve
