News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Shows live charging power on an iPhone, read from the phone's PMU and charger sensors via private APIs. Build it yourself, install on your own phone. Cannot ship on the App Store because of the private APIs it uses (see below).

I created this to compare chargers and cables. iOS shows a lightning bolt and nothing else. Seeing the wattage exposed a few bad charging setups I'd been using.

Ha - that's cool
A full-width red bar along one edge of your Mac screen that tells you if Claude Code is still working on your task. I built this so I could see it from across the room. I also added a tiny sound that plays when the task completes. Everything is customizable.

A full-width red bar along top or bottom edge of screen that tells you, from across the room, if Claude Code is busy or waiting. The bar blinks if Claude is waiting on an answer, although I've not perfected this aspect of it yet.

Re:Tool to help find a good available domain name on Sunday June 21, 2026 @04:44PM (#48622437)
I kept getting stuck in the same loop: think of a great domain name (sometimes with AI help), discover it's already taken, and start over. DomainComb closes that loop — every name it shows you is available to register right now. I built for myself, but found it useful enough that I made it a thing.
Yeah, Claude.ai just gave me the text that I simply saved as a my.ics file. I wonder if I could reword the prompt to get chatgpt to do it.
Re:Watch a watch run – super boring livestream on Monday February 20, 2023 @12:34PM (#34870449)
I wanted to learn OBS and experiment with livestreaming, so I used my small watch collection as the test subject and created a super boring channel. Very pleased with OBS running on M1 Macbook - 4k/30fps with no issues.

Eek - that's an oversight on our side during the PDF creation (copying from the github readme to Indesign) -- it was suppose to be on the PDF. We'll update.
