Toolcat - Curated tools for developers and creators

[jagged rapids]

Toolcat is a toolkit for developers, you can find many useful tools you might need on a daily basis, thanks to Tauri it's lightweight and works offline, you no longer need to rely on random online website for that.

Download it free: https://toolcat.app

Looks cool but would prefer it open source

[jagged rapids]

Actually I may open source it in the future

[stray furnace]

It looks nice, but what does it do? There's no description other than it's fast and works offline.

[split oracle]

exists 😀 👍

i'm just saying basing on project description

[lusty peak]

@jagged rapids Really nice! Well done 👍 Did you use any UI CSS framework for the Mac-ish look?

[jagged rapids]

no, I like creating customized UI that feels like native mac app

I should definitely open source some UIs I created when I have time

[lusty peak]

That would be great! Let me know if you do so, thanks! 😁

[lethal pewter]

this looks like a paid app called dev utils or mac utils, I do not remember exactly, but congrats

[copper blade]

Looks amazing! Definitely gonna be getting it when it's available for windows!

[heavy dome]

Does it have a win version?

[jagged rapids]

@copper blade @heavy dome just released the first version for Windows, you can download it here https://toolcat.app (let me know if there's anything I can improve)

[frigid elm]

@jagged rapids Linux version when

A large share of developers are on Linux so what's the point in having a Dev tool that doesn't work on Linux

[radiant scarab]

Really nice tool, worth every cent! Thank you so much!

[heavy dome]

Nice!

[jagged rapids]

That’s probably true but I don’t have enough time to support another os that I barely use

A web app is probably a better solution for now

[mellow egret]

What would you need to port over? I can help if you need

As Tauri is cross platform

[dark holly]

@jagged rapids I sent you a DM

[copper blade]

Love it! Works really well for my use case. Would be a bit better if the pop up asking to purchase the license came up less frequently

[tulip raft]

Bruh the popups asking for a payment are soo anoying. (Every 4 times you switch tabs) Good app though.

[dark holly]

Are there any configurable options for the JS tidy choice?

[jagged rapids]

Will adjust that later

[jagged rapids]

Gonna add options in the next release

[heavy dome]

Hey, im thinking of selling my app via licenses - how did you do that for your app? Is there some guide you used? I know that you use stripe, but im interested in what else did you have to do to get it working? @jagged rapids

[jagged rapids]

basically i made an api that's similar to LemonSqueezy's license api https://docs.lemonsqueezy.com/help/licensing/license-api

[heavy dome]

Would you recommend using lemon sq. for this sort of task?

So you made a custom solution?

[jagged rapids]

the license api is quite simple, you can implement yourself if you decide to go with Stripe

[jagged rapids]

yes, it's https://licensebase.io but for my own products for now

[heavy dome]

oh wow

thats very impressive

how long did it take you to get everything running?

[jagged rapids]

a couple days i think

[jagged rapids]

i'll make this public in a few days, but if you use lemonsqueezy it handles everything for you

[heavy dome]

I have some time, so id love to see your custom solution for reference

[jagged rapids]

basically it works the same as lemonsqueezy

[heavy dome]

yeah, im just new to web apis

tried to do an interview for a company that specialized in them, and got beat

so im just still researching on how to do this and how i wanna do this

[jagged rapids]

it it https://keygen.sh/ lol

[heavy dome]

Oh i saw rhis on reddit

Def will check it out now

U used this for your custom solution?

[jagged rapids]

no, that's a more complex licensing solution

[near bough]

Love it! Just less pop ups would be great. I would rather have some sort of advertisement bar at the bottom. It would be less annoying, but it would still generate some revenue.

[urban pond]

its all about buying the paid tier so popups being annoying is a feature I guess! its not about ad revenue

[heavy dome]

Im actually for the pop ups, even if they are annoying. The dood obv wants to earn from what he makes.

[civic rampart]

It's easier to pay the $13 and not experience more with popups, lol

[heavy dome]

@glacial rampart hey, was wondering, did your installer have a license agreement? Just wondering, and cant check myself rn

[heavy dome]

How come you dont have a eula or smth in the .msi installer?
