I made a CLI tool for quickly starting new branches with draft PRs, asking for reviews, etc: https://github.com/dbalatero/work-cli

Made a bunch of Hammerspoon plugins for macOS:

- https://github.com/dbalatero/SkyRocket.spoon - mod+click to resize/drag windows

- https://github.com/dbalatero/VimMode.spoon - Vim mode everywhere

- https://github.com/dbalatero/HyperKey.spoon - pop-up menu for when you forget your keybinds (like neovim's which-key or spacemacs)

oh I've been down the "I can just fix macOS" road. The sooner you move away the better. so much time wasted on plugins like these.

you effort will just be null the second apple change the usability apis enabling hammerspoon, like they did countless times before. I don't even rename the name of the fallen apps before it.

instead now I contribute things as long lived proper features on KDE and hopefully advance humanity instead of apple profits.

I find it fun, I'm not worried. If the work gets nuked in the future, so be it.
