Hi, I'm interested in the tool but I get this error, 502 Bad Gateway.


Not sure what happened, it should be back up momentarily. Thanks for having a look at it!


Is this really necessary? It makes no sense.


Thanks for the comment, I built the app because I needed it myself. My wife and I often forgot what we had at home, bought duplicates, or let food expire. We still use it today mainly as a shared shopping list and to track key items it’s simple but works for us.


My problem is thoothpaste. One week I buy one in every visit to the supermarket and then I realize I have too many and stop buying. Untill there is no thoothpaste!

Is it possi ble to add a decay factor, like 1 per 2 weeks, so I can log 4 of them and get an alert on the 7th week (1 before it's predicted to be zero?)

Anyway, I tried with a shared Scheet and as the GP says, it's difficult to keep reality and the log in sync.


Congrats for Petrichor, really impressive work! I love the clean, modern UI. I’m currently using Swinsian (still solid in many ways), but Petrichor feels like a breath of fresh air, especially for those of us who still care about local libraries. I truly hope you’ll bring this to iOS. Thanks


Kudos to PRSS Site Creator, I like the idea and I installed it on my mac. As soon as the app starts I get this error, Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, scandir '/Applications/PRSS Site Creator.app/Contents/Resources/static_themes' how can I fix it? thanks


If I go ahead and create a post I get "Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/Applications/PRSS Site Creator.app/Contents/Resources/static_themes/slate/manifest.json'"


Oh man, that's embarrassing. Is this with the Mac App Store (MAS) version, or the standalone MacOS "Universal" (dmg) one? Looking into it, I will push a new build soon.

Update: I pushed a new UX build, hopefully that addresses it, but otherwise let me know! I added the support email in my profile.

I actually cannot see the issue in my Mac Mini with the App Store build. So any more details would be hugely appreciated. Thank you!


I saw the same problem in the Mac App Store build. I don’t have any `static_themes` directory in the app bundle at all.

There’s also something really weird going on with the window. When I have your application open and I hit ⌘Q to quit, it minimises. Bringing it back to the foreground doesn’t have a menu bar; the Finder menu bar is visible. Then after a while, the window goes away but I see it’s in the menubar. Don’t play silly games like this please.

When I chose to download the Mac universal build from your website using Safari, a new blank tab opened and nothing happened. I closed the tab, returned to the original page, and saw a permission prompt asking to download from your website.

The manual download version does have the `static_themes` directory.

For what it’s worth, I don’t like downloading DMGs manually. In order of preference: Mac App Store Homebrew manual download.


Thank you for this feedback! I pushed an update to prss.co to prevent a new page from displaying when direct download is chosen.

Regarding the static_themes missing, you are correct.. I will submit a new store build for this one! Hopefully folks are not having issues that prevent them from loading the app, and not consistently.

On the topic of window state, the goal of dismissing the app to "Tray" is to lessen the perf hit of startup cycles, for example when the configuration is fetched (which contains the theme list, bought addons and so on) and to support the Autoblogger addon (which, when enabled by the user, can be configured to create posts at a schedule). I do send an OS notification right away (something to the effect of "PRSS is still running in Tray"), but I agree that the UX is not perfect yet. Based on your feedback I will explore better ways to support these scenarios. Thank you!

By the way, as you keep exploring the app. Please do continue to send your feedback on here or the email attached in my profile page. Feedback like yours is really appreciated, I generally get very vague feedback in Feedback forms. Thanks again.


> the goal of dismissing the app to "Tray" is to lessen the perf hit of startup cycles

Thi is something that is normally done by asking the user first.

> I do send an OS notification right away

This isn’t effective because when your application is run for the first time, it doesn’t have permission to send notifications. So when the user tries to quit for the first time, they won’t be told it’s still running, they’ll get asked to receive notifications. You should use something other than notifications for this.


hello compliments for moocup, your screenshot generator is convenient, fast and really easy to use for example for X o bsky. Some tips, currently there are only a few colors for the borders, I would also like to have the possibility of a movement or transaction and export to gif. what do you think would be possible? thanks


hey, thank you for the kind words. I'm planning to add a color picker so users can pick color of their choice. currently, I have no plans of adding option for any video format. as it is my hobby project, i'd like to focus more on the primary features that might be needed. although i like the possibility of it.


Hi, congrats for Just Send Record! I love the idea of turning voice recordings into shareable visual content. it’s really creative. It would be nice to see a few examples right on the homepage, just to better understand what the final result looks like. Before I buy it I would like to try it, do you have a trial version? Excited to see where this goes!


If you share an email address, I think I could send you a code that lets you have it for free; you wont need to buy in that case.


Hi, congrats for workout.cool I really like that it lets you build workout plans and track progress, super useful for my projects. It would be great if it also had a way to sync with wearables or import data from fitness trackers in the future. Keep it up!

Thanks


Hey thanks a lot.

If you have specific trackers or APIs in mind, feel free to share would love to hear more about your use case. Strava/Garmin/Apple? What do you want to see in workout.cool : hearthbeat, steps, .. ?


hello, congratulations for clipjs, it's a nice idea but the performances are not good. there is no loading indicator and for a 10 mega file you have to wait a long time. Can I export the projects but also import? thanks


Thanks! How exactly do you have to wait? I tested it by adding around 200 MB, and it was added immediately since nothing gets uploaded it's just stored in the browser. Exporting and importing the project in a specific format is a really great feature to have. Thanks for suggesting it! I will add it to my to-dos.


Congratulations for your SVG editor, I really like the idea. Clean graphics, easy to use. Would it be possible to export the created files also in PDF format? It would be really useful as an editor. Thanks and keep it up


Thanks so much! I have never tried converting SVG images to PDF, but there is a pure Javascript library for that called SVG2PDF.js, so I may give it a try. But my first impressions from the SVG2PDF.js playground is that there are a lot of issues with more advanced SVG options.
