When working on my Mac, I constantly need to take quick notes, whether to capture some info or adjust temporary text. I know there are many apps in this space, but I built one to fit my use case exactly. It is: Native: that means it does not drain your battery. Ephemeral: you don't need to worry about managing notes. You just open a window (or a lot of windows) and write. When you "crumple"…
Unfortunately, this semester my e-ink tablet, one of my favorite pieces of technology, broke. As a result, I had to go back to using paper to keep the score of my canastra games with my girlfriend. I tried a few apps on the App Store, but most were outdated, filled with intermittent ads, or required a subscription. So I decided to make one for us.

Using each card exactly once and the four basic operations (+, −, ×, ÷), players race to combine them to make 24. As soon as someone finds a solution, they clap twice (clapping once means nothing, it acts as a safeguard if you mistakenly think you’ve solved it). The…
