   Easier and faster to navigate through apps

   Since I managed to get used with this app I can't imagine a day of work without it. Incredible powerful and easy to use / configure.

   A useful productivity tool

   rcmd is something that could potentially turbocharge your productivity. However! you will need to get used to using it.

   My only issue is that I forget about it ¯_(ツ)_/¯

   👍 Pros:    Improves your productivity

   👎 Cons:    It's super easy to forget that it exists

• Ask HN: Teaching the "magic" of software development to 3rd graders?

  Https://lightbot.com/ While not as direct or effective, if you want an "algorithmic" magic trick, a fun one is the Kruskal count. It shows how you can predict exactly where the spectator's "random" moves will end up. https://faculty.uml.edu/rmontenegro/research/kruskal_count/kruskal.html. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Screen-free coding for children: the xylophone maze

  My daughter and I play "dadbot" where I'm the robot and she has to give me clear instructions on what I should do. It started after I showed her https://lightbot.com/ but we like the "screen-free" nature of dadbot better. Eventually she jumps on my back and the game doesn't last much longer because dadbot gets tired. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Mac browser Arc being discontinued in favor of new Dia app

  Might not meet your needs but I had similar issues and found an app called rcmd, it lets me easily bind keybinds to my commonly used apps, and you can also easily toggle between multiple windows of the same app via the keyboard https://lowtechguys.com/rcmd/ - no affiliation, and probably other similar options are available. - Source: Hacker News / 6 days ago

• Anime.js – A lightweight JavaScript animation library

  One less known use case for this is creating animated UI demos, which as a dev I find harder to do using video editing software. I used it to create the simple demo on the rcmd frontpage: https://lowtechguys.com/rcmd This is the code, where I'm just animating elements of an SVG I previously created with Sketch: https://github.com/FuzzyIdeas/lowtechguys/blob/main/src/rcmd/index.plim#L211-L379 But because Lunar's... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
