Problem: I got a Mac recently and was really disappointed by the lack of any modern apple style app grid, Sure we got a lot of LaunchPad apps, but none follow the new design while adding back the features that make it great. Almost all are fullscreen Launchpad alts. I really like new windowed style app grid design, but the apple's one is so bad we can't even move the apps or add folders etc. What it does: LaunchWindow is a fast, responsive application grid designed…

Interesting research : Abstract : Vision-language models (VLMs) can solve visual CAPTCHAs without task-specific training, but the agents built on them approach every challenge from scratch. For such an agent, the hundredth instance of a familiar puzzle costs as much time and compute as the first. Specialized detectors invert the trade-off, answering in milliseconds but only for categories they were trained on. Neither improves with exposure. We study what changes when a solver improves with use. Our system pairs a fine-tuned YOLOv8 detector with an open-weight VLM behind a confidence-based ro…

Modern APIs ship large payloads. LLMs consume structured data token by token. Validation failures surface too late. Streaming is standard but most formats weren't designed for it. These are problems we kept running into, so we spent years working on a format built specifically for them. The core question we kept coming back to: why does every record in a dataset need to repeat the field names? The idea we landed on — separate the schema from the data entirely. Define structure once. Records contain only values. name, age, gender, joiningDt, address: {street, city, state?}, colors, isActive…

Hey, sometimes it's easier to just move around some buttons in an editor instead of waiting a minute for the AI result. E.g. take a screenshot of your UI, cut out a button, move it around to see what it looks like. Your AI can send HTML into the editor, or screenshots. Then you can edit it, move things around, and your AI takes it from there. I've made it free and open source. You can build on top of it or improve it.
