GitHub - jcz530/barnacles: An desktop app for web developers

I'm building a free app for developers (me).
It's really just an app to make my life easier. I can run projects without opening an IDE or terminal. I can find all of my projects without clicking through finder. And a bunch of other helpful utilities. #buildinpublic #webded

I finally added a download button to the Barnacles landing page. It's been available to download from the github releases page the whole time but this is makes it a lot easier.

I added a new readme to Barnacles, it's a little more end user focused with screenshots and features. I moved the developer guide to a new file. #buildinpublic #webdev

I've always believe the last 10% of a project is 90% of the work. AI has not fixed this

Added a basic onboarding page. Previously I would just start scanning for projects as soon as the app started but now I give the user a little more control. Nothing too fancy but enough for now

I added a custom theme editor to Barnacles and did a little show and tell video with some of my thoughts #BuildInPublic #webdesign #ui

If you're adding a cursor style to an element with Tailwind, would you write
`hover:cursor-pointer`
or just
`cursor-pointer`
because it's implied that you're hovering if the pointer is over the element?
#tailwind #webdevelopment #webdesign
`hover:cursor-pointer`

I added the last major feature for the MVP of Barnacles. Utilities: small but useful tools for everyday development. Started with CSS color converter, Tailwind style color shades generator, and an exif viewer/eraser.
Next phase is stability and polish

I added a file explorer to projects in Barnacles. No need to open an IDE to quickly look through your project files 😁

This might be my favorite terminal alias I've added `reload` -> `exec zsh -l`
Gives you a fresh shell without having to source your config. It's easy to remember when you've made changes to your configs

I've made some updates to how you run a project and other one off commands from your packages.json or composer files. When you click start, it will read and open the URL that is found in your terminal output. Next I'll integrate this with the CLI tool. #webdev #buildinpublic #vue #barnacles

I started building a CLI companion for Barnacles so you can interact with your dev projects right from the command line. Still a WIP but there are some actions like copy your project's path, open your project in finder, etc

I gave in to Apple and signed Barnacles with a proper certificate so that you can actually open the app after you download it. If it's not signed it gets quarantined and shows you the following dialog 🤦

I updated the scanning internals of Barnacles. It now uses web sockets to show projects as we discover them. A toast message appears everywhere while the scanning is happening. #buildinpublic #webdev
