Web Excursions for June 14, 2016
Web Excursions are select bookmarks from my travels around the interwebs, because I'm always thinking about you while discovering other people's cool stuff. You mean that much to me. You can see all of my (public) bookmarks on Pinboard, and visit the bookmarks archive for curated lists across the last few years.
Web excursions brought to you in partnership with Setapp. Get access to hundreds of Mac and iOS apps for one low monthly subscription fee.
- Awesome Desktop Switcher
- A Desktop switcher for Mac that allows you to have different folders and files on multiple Desktops. The cool part about this one is that it works with Spaces, so you can have different sets of files per space. A menu item makes it easy to drag files between desktops, and even search all desktops at once.
- Warn Before Quitting Macro
- A KeyboardMaestro macro that adds Chrome’s delayed quit feature to any apps on your Mac.
- Introducing DeepText: Facebook’s text understanding engine
- DeepText leverages several deep neural network architectures, including convolutional and recurrent neural nets, and can perform word-level and character-level based learning.
- Black Screen
- Black Screen is an Electron-based terminal emulator that provides amazing autocompletion menus and display options using HTML and CSS for the UI. It won’t replace iTerm2 for me, but I love the idea.
- Lacona - Natural Language Commands for your Mac
- Call up Lacona with a keyboard shortcut and type whatever you want to do. It gives intelligent suggestions as you type and then follows your orders. The developers have also open sourced the Elliptical JavaScript API used for language recognition, so you can use it in your own projects.
