   Great productivity tool with lots of other uses

   Firework offers a huge improvement in quality of life. Great for people who work both remotely and from an office. Firework works well as a replacement for a browser if you use it on a daily basis and tend to keep a lot of web pages open for later. I noticed that this habit started to slow me down significantly, but with this little tool, you’re always aware of what you are working with at the moment, you can easily navigate all the apps with system hotkeys, and you can access them in literally a couple of seconds. The app is easy to navigate, easy to use, it looks simple but stylish, and I cannot think of even one reason why you shouldn’t at least try it. The price is pretty good in my opinion, and paid features are totally worth it. I’m paying way more for all sorts of subscriptions each month and unlike Firework, Hulu and Netflix don’t help me out at work. There’s a trial period of two weeks and it was really difficult to keep using the free version after experiencing all the extra stuff.

   👍 Pros:    Affordable price|Many built-in features|Nice interface|Intuitive|Easy to configure

   👎 Cons:    Did not find any cons

   Something you never knew you needed

   I’ve recently found this service and decided that it would be convenient because I often work with multiple browsers on different accounts and services. It loads pretty much everything almost instantly. Moreover, it has a lot of extra features here and there to make your life just a little bit easier. There's an option to pin any app to taskbar, so you don't even have to launch Firework itself in the first place. I can literally access my Google Drive from my taskbar! Or Netflix! Or anything else!
   There's a catalogue with most popular web services at your disposal, so you can either pick your favorites from there or add links yourself. My personal favorite is using Slack with Firework. Never liked using the desktop version and never liked having it in my browser. Now it's absolutely perfect.

   🏁 Competitors: Fluid

   👍 Pros:    Faster loading speed|Easy to use|Affordable price|User friendly interface

   👎 Cons:    Nothing, so far

• connect to server on local network using ip address

  I tried to create a new service to access my router config but seems like Ferdi (i tried also with biscuit later, same result) doesn't works with regular ip addresses like 192.168.1.1. Beside my router, I have a couple of web services running in a box on my LAN, I'd love to have a drawer with those services that I access only from time to time. Is there any reason why this pages that I can browse in any... Source: over 1 year ago

• Arc browser interview

  What's so special with Arc browser? We already have a lot of web app browsers like: Sidekick, Ferdi(um), Franz, Station, Biscuit, etc. And they are cross-platform unlike Arc. There is a lot of marketing buzz, but really having vertical tabs and including notepad in a browser is so revolutionary? You can do all of this with Firefox add-ons. Source: over 1 year ago

• [Summary] Best alternatives now that Ferdi is gone r/getferdi

  Biscuit - Only free, but completely proprietary and looks a little unpolished. Didn't pass my "smell test." If I'm going to trust an app with something as sensitive as my email login credentials, then I want to know exactly how they make their money, or I want it to be completely open source.

• [GUIDE] Creating native applications for web-apps on Linux

  Firework (Website): Looks like it integrates well with the desktop. Makes desktop launchers per-app. Supports web notifications. Supports alt-tabbing between the apps. But the free version only lets you make 2 apps, and you have to subscribe to get more. And the website is full of weird, non-native grammar. Source: almost 2 years ago
