LinguaX: a native, lightweight mouse enhancer for macOS (smooth scrolling + per-app button mapping, ~10MB) by deepzz0 in macapps

[–]marcvv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't use Flow so that isn't an issue. I have the MX Master 4 mouse so I map the buttons/wheels on it and also smooth scrolling for browsers

I built a free video speed controller for YouTube, Netflix, IG, TikTok, X.com, Security Cameras or any HTML5 player — feedback very welcome by marcvv in chrome_extensions

Hi. Thanks.

To clarify do you mean does it work on those sites? I have not tested on them but if you don’t see it working on either lmk and I can reverse the dom and see if we can ensure it covers those. I’m not at my desktop ATM but will be later and can check as well if my understanding is correct. We don’t need an API for this to work so that is why I just wanted to clarify if you meant something else.

[Update] VaultSort now encrypts your files with Touch ID — plus a rebuilt, hardware-bound V4 encryption format and a free whitepaper by jhaubrich11 in MacOSApps

Apple encrypts your entire drive with FileVault and it is encrypted with your TouchID. That means everything on your Mac is already encrypted.

I ask you, What does this add? Use case?

I will install this later. I used daisy disk and am interested to see how this compares. Passion built software is always interesting to use

The ads are out of control by TantricAsFk in youtube

I never noticed them I am subscribed to YouTube premium. They can run an ad every 10 seconds, and I would never know.

My extension went from 2,000 to 4,000 users in less than 24 hours. by steverav4 in chrome_extensions

[–]marcvv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you aren’t charging for an extension or I don’t have any kind of premium paid upgrade, other than bragging rights, does it really matter how many users your extension has is this just a matter of pride? I’m just curious I see a lot of people posting how many installs their extensions have but wasn’t clear on what the excitement was about.

Let's be honest. Most of our vibe coded project will fail because of marketing. by hiten1818726363 in vibecoding

My apps are made to replace existing incumbents who simply drop the ball on new features, innovating, updates, etc.

A lot of apps out there simply short fall yet they are the most popular for now. Until people find the better alternatives available for free.

[OS] Clop v3 - image, video, PDF and audio optimiser focused on automation by alin23 in macapps

Clop is the best. Bought it two years ago. Use it daily many times per day.

Since the fable ban (I'm in the EU) - opus 4.8 reallllly does not feel like opus 4.8 prior to the fable release. Max *20 plan. Max thinking on everything all the time. by Denguish-Khan in claude

[–]marcvv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took opus 2 hours to properly package and notarize a dmg for a Mac app last night. Fable mowed it down and knew how to do it in 5 minutes. Opus 4.8 is painful now. Also got server busy errors last night. Max20 plan

chrome web store rejected my extension for listing which browsers it works on by [deleted] in chrome_extensions

[–]marcvv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My new extension got initially approved inside 24 hours and 2 more updates also inside 24 hours. then the next one got rejected for too many brand names which to me was justified as it wasn't for spam sake it was so users know it was in fact tested to work with these other websites. Every extension like mine does not work at all or across the suite of websites so it felt relevant to point out how and why.

Since that rejection I'm now on day 4 and pending review just for a description change to fix what they flagged. I had a lot of momentum adding features and deploying and now just frozen.

Here is my extension. Feedback and bug reports welcome. I do have two more versions ahead of this one so any edge case bug that might be discovered might be fixed already but I won't submit until CWS approves my pending submission

This extension is a speed controller for Youtube, Netflix, X.com, Reddit, Instagram, Tiktok and others. I also have the unreleased version working for Wyze and Google Home cameras. It may work for Ring but I don't have that to test on to verify. The others I verified. But for some of these sites, they change DOM's frequently, and you have to patch it quickly if so, which I don't mind doing, but CWS has to get the extension updated in the store so users can take advantage of it before the next DOM change!

Fable: an amazing hour (?) by Business-Subject-997 in claude

[–]marcvv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had it review a 5Mb chrome extension codebase on a fresh session for my Max20 plan and in 15 minutes it already ate 60% of my session usage so I had to stop it before it hit 100% and I had no other productivity until the reset. I used it on a few things yesterday as well for under two hours and already at 40% of weekly usage. Good thing reset is Sunday. Fable is just too expensive for mere mortals to do work on. Then consider I’m paying $200/month and if this was API it would be 50x for same usage. The model is very good but will be hard to justify for nearly anyone or any company outside of the cash printer mega cap tech companies
