Show HN: Omacosy – omarchy-style tiling desktop for macOS, no SIP

I have been using omarchy on my tower since nearly a year now, shortly after it was released first. I really love the experience I am having with it but I still use my macbook for daly work, so I wanted to recreate a similar experience on it. Thats why I created omacosy, a setup for tiling windows, custom menu bar, some themes from omarchy, focus follows mouse, focus rings around windwos, some mac flavors with trackpad events and a custom mission control overview for your workspaces.I used AeroS

Is this AWS RI/SP simulation engine interesting / valuable?

TLDR; This AWS RI/SP tool we built might have unique features that are important especially for companies running large, high-variability workloads with high coverage targets. We want feedback on how true that is and whether we should open this up to others, possibly even for free or as OSS.Setup: We're a small cloud cost consultancy, but not a tools vendor. We do build a lot of internal tooling for our own use. We serve companies spending 7- to 9-figures (USD) annually.One of the inte

Ask HN: Good IMAP Email Clients?

I&#x27;m looking for a good, simple desktop IMAP email client for Windows and Linux and coming up empty handed.<p>Thunderbird absolutely sucks now, it is borderline unusable (it would not connect to our internal email system, and I had no patience with its incomprehensible UI to figure out why).<p>New Outlook is just a web wrapper.<p>It feels like there are far fewer options in this space than existed 20 years ago.<p>Does anyone still use Seamonkey?

Ask HN: How to tune Emacs config for portability: Linux, macOS and Windows?

I&#x27;ve been a GNU&#x2F;Linux-only Emacs user for years, and most of my configuration has naturally evolved around that environment.Now I may need to start using macOS and Windows as well, and I&#x27;m realizing that &quot;Emacs is cross-platform&quot; and &quot;my Emacs configuration is cross-platform&quot; are two rather different things.I&#x27;m curious how people who maintain a substantial Emacs configuration approach this.My config is fairly modular and tries to stay close to vanilla Emac

Show HN: Clinch – Local-first Warp fork built for agent session management

Warp was my daily driver for years, and I still love the core product. But I wanted more privacy, less Oz agent stuff and a better UX experience for managing all my Claude Code&#x2F;Codex sessions, especially across the repos I&#x27;m working on at once.So I forked Warp, gutted all the telemetry, account requirements, Oz agent stuff and have fine tuned the UX over the months to optimize it for session management. The awesome Warp terminal is still first class (auto complete, auto command suggest

Show HN: Control AI Agents on Your Old PC at Home from Any Device Anywhere

I built Relay around a simple idea: many of us have an unused PC server at home, or a VPS dedicated to AI-assisted coding, but the coding agents running there are still tied to that machine’s terminal, I just don&#x27;t want to ssh&#x2F;rdp into it every single time. Relay brings Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and Hermes into one interface that you can access from your phone, browser, or another computer. Sessions stay alive, so you can start work on one device and continue from another. You can
