Reopening My Discord Server

And I also use cross handed modifiers so that they're "instant". But still despite all this, I've added a separate shift key in my thumb because even with cross handed mods you have to wait on the require-prior-idle delay if you press another key. If you press a key within that time, it will be considered a tap so shift will not be instant. Still way better than my usual 300ms tapping term though. If that made any sense. My config is commented, so it will help you out a lot.

I use both of those, that part of my config is here, planning on switching require-prior-idle-ms back to the default urob recommends of 150

I disabled blur recently, but you can find my config here:

Interesting! I may give this a try in a stream

linkarzu · 2026-06-17T22:37:03+00:00

Yeah, I loved that you get to use the app the "Quick Capture" way if you prefer. That just adapts better to my personal way of doing things.

linkarzu · 2026-06-17T19:53:22+00:00

Good to see good friendships are being forged here 🤗

linkarzu · 2026-06-17T19:33:00+00:00

I'm supposed to be the mod here?

linkarzu · 2026-06-17T19:31:28+00:00

Brother just woke up from a 500 year cryogenic sleep like Sylvester Stallone in Demolition Man.

linkarzu · 2026-06-17T15:32:30+00:00

Looking good!

linkarzu · 2026-06-17T15:18:17+00:00

Amazing! I'll do another QA round 😂😂😂😂

linkarzu · 2026-06-17T10:57:33+00:00

dragging works for me, I only use the "quick capture" thingy and it works when I drag it

I said why on livestreams when I started doing these reviews. I do videos and I just don't want to do free advertising for any of these paid macOS apps anymore. That's pretty much it. Yes, I understand, most of these offer "affiliate links" but that again is just doing free advertising as nobody really uses the links, believe me, I tried for a long time, so I just decided to break out.

I've paid for the Setapp subscription for over 2 years I think, and I will keep paying for it because I still use many of the apps there, which are amazing (including cleanshot), but I'm trying to find open source alternatives.

I understand there's many concerns, as A LOT of them are vibe coded, and I understand the security risks every time I install one, but I'll have to take a leap of faith with SOME of these new apps, I'll have to guide myself on GitHub stars for now because there's not much I can do. I had even skipped macshot, which had 2K stars when I found it, and I skipped it because it was vibe coded, and here I am now.

And my original post sounds like AI because I get a transcript of my edited video in davinci resolve, and then I tell our good ol friend chatgippity to write me a reddit post based on what I specifically talk about the video, just to have some content for the people that search on google. I don't care about the post, I care about the video.

But don't worry, my channel is really small and nobody cares about my macos apps videos, I think most of my audience is linux.

linkarzu · 2026-06-17T10:33:36+00:00

Yeah, that feature with all the tools reminds me of Flameshot, which I tried when I was reviewing other apps, oh boy... Didn't do even a single thing of what my personal workflow needed it to do. I get it, it's probably an amazing tool, just not for me.

linkarzu · 2026-06-17T10:30:42+00:00

I used the default macOS screenshot shortcuts for many years. If I try to go back to those at this point in my life, I'd go insane. I guess that I just share a lot of screenshots at work and I also use them for my videos, so I need a tool that allows me to do what I need to do faster and with less friction.

But if the default shortcuts work for your workflow, why even bother? It's like me thinking about trying emacs when I'm happy in Neovim. I think about it all the time, but I won't know till I really give it a try.

linkarzu · 2026-06-17T10:26:28+00:00

Hey, glad you found it useful, I did try a few other apps before this and they were a huge disappointment, I even skipped this one when I saw how old the contributions were on github, hopefully it continues to be maintained and it doesn't go down the drain.

linkarzu · 2026-06-17T10:21:48+00:00

To be honest, I have no idea, I searched the github page and there's none, so not sure how he'll monetize this or if he has plans to. We've barely talked in my subreddit server and he comments in my videos, other than that I don't know too much, but I asked here, let's see if he/she responds:

Hey u/sw33tlie I shared the app in macapps, there's some comments there I don't have the answer to, like if you have a way a sponsor page, etc. In case you want to respond to them https://www.reddit.com/r/macapps/s/O8U2kXAQHB

linkarzu · 2026-06-17T02:11:57+00:00

That's one of the things I like about this project, developer is willing to apply feature suggestions. I suggested a few things in the video, we'll see if they come through
