A while ago I launched Macky with only terminal access to Mac. But since people were vibe coding with terminal there was need to see how the app has turned out.

So I added Remote Desktop mode to check how app looks.

It works by establishing a direct P2P WebRTC tunnel between your Mac and iPhone. It is secure by design. My server introduces the devices but never sees the data stream and allow listing so you have to manually approve your iPhone on the Mac first.

Now you can access both your terminal and full desktop from iPhone!


I wanted a way to access my mac terminal from my iphone without setting up any vpn or weird router rules and then buying a separate ssh app in app store.

So I built macky.dev as a fun side project. When the mac app is running it makes an outbound connection to my signaling server and registers itself under the account. iPhone also connects to this same signaling server to request a connection to this mac. Once both the host and remote are verified it establishes a direct p2p webrtc connection.


Built this as a weekend protest on SaaS fees.


I was sick of finding out that a cloud provider was down when casually doomscrolling on X while chilling at the beach. So I built Pingy as a fun side project which sends me a push notification whenever a cloud provider is expereincing an outage or a degradation.

AWS, Cloudflare, Azure, Stripe, Vercel and 50+ more are tracked. I just pushed it to App Store yesterday. If you are paranoid like me then I think you will love "Pingy" on the App Store.


You are absolutely wrong on the storage claim, the server runs proper PBKDF2-SHA256 with 100k iterations and a random salt, so that part is solid.


And I have absolutely no reason to trust that claim.


Lol i thought no one would look at my project so just closed and went to watch some Kill Tony and I come back and like wtf, people are debating!

What portion of the security-critical code is written by a human? A shell is literally keys to the kingdom in every regard.


Cloudflare just went down for static site assets, need to migrate away


If its just static content you can also use GitHub Pages, its free and you get SSL/OwnDomain, use it for most of my iPhone/Mac Apps. Example https://jetpach.com/


Oooo didn't know github pages allowed custom domains, thanks for sharing!


I have it setup to be run autonomously as much as possible, the company will never go out of business (nothing is 100% but I will make sure to fight to the very end) cause I plan to just bulk buy servers once I have enough users. Lifetime currently should be up to 100 years, because it is low maintenance, I don't think server cost will affect stuff, but in future I plan to charge by 10 year period, but for now it should be 100 years.


AI images pretending to be art, fake creativity, infinite noise. I realized I was scrolling constantly and seeing nothing made by an actual person.

So I made *Slop*.

It’s doomscrolling, but only with real human art like paintings, sculptures, manuscripts, weird old illustrations all created long before generative AI existed.

If you’re sick of AI aesthetics and still like to scroll: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/slop-real-human-art/id67584668...
