Most workplace English is written for native speakers without realizing it.

Shorter sentences, clearer wording, and inline AI translation make a much bigger difference for international teams than people expect.

WindowSill 0.9.23.0 just got released! 🚀

@XenoPanther Not exactly the same but the Clipboard History in my app WindowSill can do this. When File Explorer has the focus while pasting a clipboard item from WindowSill, it will save it as a file. It also works for text.

New article talking about why WindowSill is NOT ChatGPT and that’s the fucking point

@NickeManarin @ScreenToGif @MicrosoftStore It’s probably too late but one trick could be to make a few key features not open source perhaps ?

[Etienne Baudoux | Software Engineer @Microsoft @VelerSoftware]

@NickeManarin @ScreenToGif @MicrosoftStore Does the ScreenToGif license is permissive enough to allow that, or are they obviously breaking the rules?
I heard of another app in the past that suffered of something like this too. The whole app was under MIT license, which unfortunately allows anyone to do exactly this.

Select a command line in any app. Run it in a click. No terminal window. No paste. No alt-tab.

That's what Inline Terminal does on WindowSill.

Stop copy-pasting commands from docs into your terminal.

Select the command. Run it right there. Output comes back to you.

I built an extension for WindowSill that kills the alt-tab loop.

Editor Bar v4 for Visual Studio is out 🎉

I finally found some time to fix a few long-standing pains, add some polish, and move the extension a few steps forward.

@Lala_marlala Because I released this app before PowerToys dock existed, and they don’t work the same way. WindowSill is designed to react to your context, such as foreground app or selected text anywhere.

[Etienne Baudoux | Software Engineer @Microsoft @VelerSoftware]

I kept missing meetings notifications. So I built a fix: Outlook, Google, iCloud calendars on your WindowSill. Full screen notifications, upcoming meetings in the bar, one-click join.

Free & Available now!

@Sean_Endicott_ Have you try WindowSill for widget apps? Next week, it will have a Terminal and Calendar integration!

[Etienne Baudoux | Software Engineer @Microsoft @VelerSoftware]

@unixterminal You can use WindowSill on W10 to proof read any text from any app, not just Notepad 😉

@dotMorten Is WPF list view’s item panel not virtualized by default ?

WindowSill featured in top 10 applications you may find useful on Windows 👀😁

@XenoPanther For a second I thought you had WindowSill's Perf Counter 😂

[Etienne Baudoux | Software Engineer @Microsoft @VelerSoftware]

@TarasBuria Yep, once the reply is generated, it gets dismissed. Remember the goal is to make quick edits to a text, not to do a chat box.
That said, I get the confusion. A history of a few requests could be nice.
Can you tell me about your workflow so I understand how you work with it ?

[Etienne Baudoux | Software Engineer @Microsoft @VelerSoftware]

Users wanted better system monitoring in WindowSill. So I rebuilt the Perf Counter with live charts for CPU, RAM & GPU, right from your sill bar. No need to open Task Manager.
