I took the initial "type" to be more of a difficulty or question-types, not about missions. Even so, clicking the bottom I get this: > The mission of your game. Complete all your levels and achievements, and you can return to L

Nice, definitely gave backpacker vibes. Some issues: - It doesn't "feel" like a game, it felt a bit aimless. Maybe some missions like travel to X countries, do Y things, within Z starting budget. - The "X" at the

I made ScreenMemory. Usually the performance issues happen when users have high resolution monitors (often multiple) and set it to take screenshots very often (like every 2 seconds). It's fair because that's sort of how Rewind wor

I don't know how others use it, but to me the staging area only lives for X seconds and acts as a last stop to simply select the exact changes and lines I want to actually commit. With a GUI, it becomes crystal clear as to what it is.

Not OP, but I've been using SourceTree for over a decade. I've tried loads, but the only one that I have semi-moved to recently is Fork.

What is wrong with staging? I don't even consider staging until it is time to commit, at which point it is a little area to gather the exact changes you need.

Only one AI section out of 12 total sections, and while the second section has an AI example, it's only one out of five. It's basically Alfred with more (?) functionality. Which is basically Spotlight with more functionality. Whic

Same with Red Alert (etc) through the modern rewrite OpenRA ( https://www.openra.net/ ). Similarly there is a guy FiveAces who has been commenting videos for nearly a decade.

I am sure there are people who has moved to macOS that grew on playing eg. Red Alert 1 who gladly would pay some amount of money to instantly own and play it again for some nostalgia. And by this I mean myself.

Not sure to be honest, I know a lot of these tools popped up and swiftly disappeared. It wouldn't surprise me if there is a Linux version still alive though, try searching for "Rewind.ai alternative Linux".

https://screenmemory.app is my current project as of a year or so. Records your screen continuously and lets you look back at it through a GUI. I use it myself to recap days or weeks at work, mostly.

Very cool. I also come across people having used my apps for literal years, it's a small subset but they are distinct and super appreciated. Hopefully there is some progress, but if not, I suppose it's a success already anyway, an

Nice. I am a fellow "more than a decade" maintainer of an app, and it's been fun. Some questions come to mind. - Do you have some sort of community around the app? - Do you have a steady (or maybe dwindling) stream of feedbac

Do you not use a desktop environment? Loads of software is being made (and I only know the macOS side of it). Window managers, compression tools, utilities, powerhouse tools like Photoshop, text editors, IDEs, etc. I myself build software i

Yep, very similar. A host of tools similar have come (and gone) in the past year alone from what I've seen. Most of them seems to focus on the AI aspect though. Fun fact, while the app is only a bit over a year old, I was doing somethi

I make macOS apps [0], the revenue is irregular but on average it fits the $500/m. The main driver is [1] ScreenMemory, which records your screens and allows you to navigate a timeline / calendar. Sort of a Rewind.ai alternative.
