I have been using omarchy on my tower since nearly a year now, shortly after it was released first. I really love the experience I am having with it but I still use my macbook for daly work, so I wanted to recreate a similar experience on it. Thats why I created omacosy, a setup for tiling windows, custom menu bar, some themes from omarchy, focus follows mouse, focus rings around windwos, some mac flavors with trackpad events and a custom mission control overview for your workspaces.I used AeroSpace over yabai for the tiling window manager because I didnt wanted to compromise on SIP which is a mac security feature. It is supposed to be keyboard first like omarchy to move windows organize workspaces etc The setup runs around 157mb of ram and consists of AeroSpace, Karabiner (for the super key), and five small self build swift binaries.I am running it daily on my M1 max macbook, currently on macOS26. I havent tested it much on other macbooks or macOS versions. The install script creates a manifest file to backup what was installed before and what it installed itself, the uninstall script takes that into account to clean up the macbook to exactly the state it was in before. It needs quite some permissions for it sfunctionality which I layed our in the project readme. I wanted to be really transparent about which permissions it uses and for what reason.I would love to get some feedback or see people trying it out and hearing your opinion. Mostly about what still doesnt feel smooth in the experience or if you find any performance issues.

Certain logos started standing out to me on LinkedIn as brighter/whiter than everything else around them.I dug in and found out this is accomplished by adding a gain-map to an existing JPEG, visible only on HDR screens like a newer MacBook Pro. LinkedIn is the only social network I've found that isn't stripping them out, but of course you serve them up on your own site.I worked with Claude Code to turn it into a little browser-based utility (no registration) and hope you find it useful!

Hi HN- I'm Pablo, the founder of Proliferate (YC S25)!Proliferate (https://github.com/proliferate-ai/proliferate) is an open-source, self-hostable AI IDE that lets you work and automate tasks with Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Cursor, and Grok in one place.Here's a quick 2m demo of how we use Proliferate to build Proliferate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGNX0oaWmBYI started building Proliferate after my team onboarded to OpenAI Codex. Within days, we were using it for everything: using computer use instead of navigating websites ourselves, having Codex coordinate other agents, and setting up automations for recurring work. We really never needed to leave the desktop app to get work done.If my team’s experience is anything close to representative, a Codex-like app (a horizontal agent with a beautiful UI) is the main interface every company is going to use to get work done. That is perfectly in line with OpenAI’s mission to make Codex the everything app (see: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47796469).But as we started automating work closer to the core of the business, I wanted to work with agents from all the labs, including open-weight models, without becoming increasingly dependent on OpenAI.And that’s what Proliferate is for! It's the open-source, self-hostable Codex that preserves your optionality across agents and model providers while building toward Codex’s breadth.Today Proliferate supports:* Working with Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Cursor, and Grok with their native inference and configuration options, including Bedrock, Azure, and self hosted inference.* Inter-agent communication and management: a parent agent can spawn and communicate with another supported agent as a subagent (I personally like to have Fable delegate to Codex, with OpenCode models reviewing PRs).* Building workflows- one of the features I'm most excited about. These are re-usable chains of agent sessions and

This project has been kicking around in my head since I first heard about the webauthn PRF extension in early 2024. I've slowly chipped away at it since, and finally got things to a shareable state over the summer thanks to a very fun parental leave. Headed back to work tomorrow, so I figure there's no time like the present.tldr: A client-held encryption key derived during passkey authentication encrypts all sensitive user data prior to persistence so that only the user is able to decrypt and reuse that data on their device. This allows short-lived, privacy-preserving age proofs to be issued to requesting applications (18+, no PII shared) without requiring users to re-upload their documents. The SSO user experience is built on top of the OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code Flow.https://loginwithone.com - demo video + high-level architecture + FAQI also made the parody demo apps from the video public if anyone wants to play around with the user experience:https://demo.brainrot.loginwithone.com https://demo.dgnrt.loginwithone.com https://demo.kirby.loginwithone.comI suspect most will choose to pass on the ID stage for now (no offense taken, doing so is low reward in this context) but if you navigate to https://app.loginwithone.com after onboarding you can demonstrate the passkey-powered encryption on your email via the lock/unlock button.Very open to feedback and happy to answer any questions! I plan to pull the client-side encryption functionality into an open-source typescript library for general use, so any thoughts or suggestions on what you’d like to see out of that interface would be supremely useful. Thanks all,Michael

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15).The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device.The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
