@sysrootix nice, thats a smart setup. auto resume when you plug back in is the part most apps forget. thanks for walking me thru it

[IndieMarkdowns @IndieMarkdowns]

@erick_pulla ah got it, late runs showing up is a decent fallback for now. daemon mode would be the real win tho. might open an issue, thanks for being so open about it

[IndieMarkdowns @IndieMarkdowns]

@whysumancode solid blocks for sure, glad you went that route. congrats on shipping #2 too, dont see many people do both free and no account anymore

@AdityaShips Anything that keeps long agent runs visible without babysitting a terminal is worth it. Does it ping you when an agent is waiting on input?

[IndieMarkdowns @IndieMarkdowns]

@michaelflux Half a day to wrap a CLI agent in SwiftUI is a great use of a Saturday. TUIs are powerful, but a native window with real scrollback is just nicer.

@debba_92 The 'got 45 minutes, find whole albums that fit' feature is such a nice touch. Audiobookshelf in the same player is a big plus too.

Mac folks: do you wait for Black Friday to buy indie apps, or just grab them the day you need them?

If you wait, some are already confirmed. Lingon Pro and Smultron will both be 20% off, applied automatically, no code needed.

[IndieMarkdowns @IndieMarkdowns]

@sysrootix Good to know the battery pause is built in. Does it remember that setting per power source, or do you toggle it each time?

[IndieMarkdowns @IndieMarkdowns]

@jglypt Pro apps tend to lag on redesigns since they can't risk breaking workflows. Still wild how many indie Mac apps nailed Liquid Glass before Apple's own.

[IndieMarkdowns @IndieMarkdowns]

@BalloonBoysADV @realpai110 Attributing cost by touched files is clever. Per-repo burn is the number I'd actually want when deciding which side projects are worth the tokens.

[IndieMarkdowns @IndieMarkdowns]

@9to5mac @mbrkhrdt Retro camera apps always find an audience. Great to see indie apps getting the spotlight this early in a new iPhone cycle.

[IndieMarkdowns @IndieMarkdowns]

@allen_benn91254 7 MB and no Electron is the dream for an S3 client. Does it handle R2 and Backblaze endpoints too, or just AWS for now?

[IndieMarkdowns @IndieMarkdowns]

@Hussein__khidr GitHub's macOS runners for builds plus a borrowed Mac for testing is a smart setup. Did notarization give you any trouble without your own machine?

[IndieMarkdowns @IndieMarkdowns]

@sklivvz Love that it shows the official wait plus a guess. A number in the menu bar beats refreshing a status page every ten minutes. Nice weekend build.

[IndieMarkdowns @IndieMarkdowns]

@not_sacke Things 3 still sets the bar for me. Every screen feels calm and nothing is extra. Close second is Mela, the recipe app. Curious what others pick.

[IndieMarkdowns @IndieMarkdowns]

@hnshah Shipping Intel support three days after launch is how PH upvotes turn into real users. Plenty of us still have an Intel Mac doing home server duty.

[IndieMarkdowns @IndieMarkdowns]

One Black Friday 2026 deal you can already use: Shotomatic is 40% off lifetime licenses with code BF2026 (1 Mac for $23.40).

It takes automated screenshots to archive eBooks, dashboards and long pages.

@appleinsider Good price for 1TB. If you're getting a new Mac around Black Friday, a lot of indie Mac apps run their own sales that week too, so hold off on software buys.
