Linux Desktop got so much better in recent years but it also stayed the same. If you’re trying to be productive and not just switching between editor and terminal windows there are still endless frustrations that never end.

Yes many things actually.

- A mac app to generate to read text as playlists from openai tts api (my gf can't use the api)

- A automatic visual scraper that can get arbitray information from any website (e.g go to target and get the top 3 milk prices or get the licensing information from this opensource project)

- An ETL tool (called tabmaster) that can sync arbitrary json apis into postgres tables. with automatic schema inference and deduplication logic

- A really good OCR tool that enriches scanned PDFs with accurate words and not the bs that adobe ships

all really useful and used daily.

EDIT: formatting
