What are some cool niche applications you use and recommend?

Whenever I get a new computer I install these right away.

Used everyday:

  • Alfred: customizable productivity tool. It's a launcher, file searcher, web searcher, clipboard manager, snippet manager, script runner, etc with a robust community making scripts.

  • Textpander: a text replacer I've been using before Apple's and Alfred's solutions.

  • Bettertouchtool: customize keyboard and trackpad shortcuts

  • Notational Velocity/nVALT + Obsidian: note taking synced across my devices. NValt for quick notes while Obsidian is for long form and personal knowledge management. Just plain text files in a communal vault somewhere.

  • Dropbox: mainly used to sync settings for apps and notes across devices.

  • 1Password: password generation and management for me and my girlfriend. A little pricey, but I love it. been researching alternatives.

Also handy:

  • Better Rename 9: rename files. Replace characters or strings, add in number sequencing, convert casing, etc. I have a lot of photos and work with a lot of images so this comes in handy

  • Copyqueue: file copy. Enables a queue for file copy.

  • Hidden Bar: menu bar management

For my watch:

  • App in the Air: is a nice airport companion that visually shows the airplane phases (boarding, flight duration) with accompanying info (like gates and delays)

Today is Friday, July 7th, 2023, I checked in on reddit for you

The subreddit I visit the most is r/nba. With it being the off-season, it's really easy for me to use Reddit less and less every day. Those twats left a bad taste in my mouth anyways. They all protested the mods after not participating in the blackout survey and then proceeded to call the mods names for 2 days and then business back to normal.

Having nowhere to discuss the league championships during the blackout, they started their own sub r/nbatalk. A handful will never go back, but we will see how long that lasts. The majority of r/nba are shitposters anyways.

I would donate money to a video game museum that housed a copy of every single game and console in existence.

The games and consoles are for looking at while there are playing stations with emulators to sample the games. The game art alone would make it worth it.

I always wanted to see a visual timeline of all game consoles lined up in a row to see evolution of design over the years. From disks to carts to cds.
