I also use a QWERTY keyboard and I use a custom keyboard layout that maps alt-a to ä, alt-u to ü, alt-o to ö, alt-s to ß (plus the same for uppercase for the first 3). That works well for me without the need to post-process. On macOS it's relatively easy to create using a tool called Ukulele (https://software.sil.org/ukelele/). You can also download my layout here: https://alex.kirk.at/USUmlaut.keylayout. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

I’ve always set up a custom keyboard for exactly that! () on their own keys, [] on shift and {} above 0 and 9. It always struck me as the most natural alignment for prose and programming. Thankfully between Ukelele [0] and MSKLC [1] it’s pleasantly simple to do [0] for macOS: https://software.sil.org/ukelele/. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

Hey everyone, I have created a custom layout with Ukelele and everything works great except that the icon for my custom layout is narrower for some reason, in comparison to the default layouts. I tried everything, but I can't make it normal size. Source: 9 months ago

They could have used the SIL Open Font License instead. People in the open source world are often already familiar with it, and resources like tl;dr Legal are available for it. Their EULA is, in fact almost exactly the SIL Open Font License, but someone decided minor changes in wording were more valuable than standardization. https://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?item_id=OFL_web... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

Built Pgweb (Postgres GUI) some time ago since I could not find a good minimalistic database explorer. https://github.com/sosedoff/pgweb The app is super simple, made with Go + jQuery and I still use it almost every day, and has brought it to every single company I've been with. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

Starting with web might be good option. With Go and embedding frontend files, you can have single file app that works. Example -> https://github.com/sosedoff/pgweb. Source: about 3 years ago
