Does anyone know of a good solution to manage menubar on Mac? Have M2 Pro with a notch which hides many of many items and it's so difficult to access them unless I quit a few of them.

Bartender or dozer depending on what you want

Icebar

I second Ice - it's great

Its good but I kill it frequently..

Huh, I've never had to kill it!

Wow. Sincere thanks for taking time to write this elaborate answer. This is truly useful.

The one about price (and quality) disparity is very insightful. Didn't know it could vary that much.

The app I am trying to build is not a CRUD app. To give you some hint, it's about collecting data from various sources and putting them in a nice dashboard. The data in question is decently large and it comes from several dozens of sources. Most tech guys would talk it down like a trivial technical problem which can be solved in a hackathon but it does solve a non-trival and a very important problem for my potential customers.

You are right about the mockup since it would give me a great clarity myself as in what the end result would look like.

Again, many thanks for your detailed answer.


Sure thing. "Collecting data from various sources" can become a very difficult problem (depending on the data, depending on the sources...)

It doesn't necessarily change any of my earlier suggestions (especially on the mockup). But, if this is the nature of your problem and you haven't got a CTO and you're actually serious about building this thing, then you have to level up your coding skills at least to the point you can collect SOME data from SOME sources.


Yes, but my concern is that the problem I am trying to solve won't make a unicorn but surely make a few million dollar business. I wonder if this would be exciting enough for a tech co-founder. What do you think?


Share your idea here and provide your contact information, and technical people here will respond.


If you can't sell your idea to a co-founder, you can't sell your product to customers.


Do not fully agree here. You can choose not to have a tech co-founder and still make a decently successful business. Customers care only if their problem is getting solved. Rarely they care about the how part.


If you can't convince a single engineer that your idea is good enough to invest in, you can't sell your product to customers.


As I said, it's not about convincing someone whether my idea is good. It's a deliberate choice I am making to not have a CTO.


Same here. Wow I just realized that I wouldn't pay $5/month to medium but I am paying over $50/month to various subscriptions on substack.


Extending this further. Before building a product, talk to prospects and understand the problem better.


Yes. It is slow. This is precisely the reason I stopped using it.


Is it me only who is bothered by the fact that this "http" link from popular service blogspot, doesn't get auto-redirected to "https"?
