Hey jackets,

I’m a first-year at Georgia Tech and I just released JustLmk: justlmk.lol

I built it because during course registration last year I wasn’t able to get a class I needed, so I had to keep refreshing OSCAR and hoping a seat opened. Someone told me Coursicle could do that, so I tried using it for spring registration, but it only let me track notifications for 3 sections, which was pretty annoying.

I built JustLmk to fix those issues.

With JustLmk, you can watch any number of courses/sections. If you want, you can even watch every section of a course instead of picking one specific CRN! It checks for openings and lets you know when enrollment, waitlists, or restrictions open up, depending on what you’re looking for.

It’s free, really fast, and it’s already helped my friends get into classes they were waiting on.

I've also updated the app with a feature where you can get notified when your favorite spot in the library is open

I’d really appreciate it if you checked it out and let me know what you think. If there are any features you want, bugs you find, or things that would make registration less painful, just lmk (😉) and I’ll try to add them

Hey everyone! Some of you might remember this post from a year ago that I made about Mactify (it's the #1 result when you Google "mac spotify connect client" which is crazy to me). For those of you that missed it, I made Mactify as a clean Spotify Connect client. I love to listen to music on my iPhone (love Headphone Accomodations, everything sounds much more full) but I hated that there wasn't an easy way to control playback from my Mac. I don't like to take out my phone when I'm working because if I do it's easier to get distracted. Previously, I used the standard Spotify app, but this was slow, bulky, eats up RAM, and sometimes stopped in the background.

Mactify lets you control music playing on other devices! It's a clean, fast, and lightweight app built in SwiftUI. It supports macOS' Now Playing API (hello, media keys!), volume control (when Spotify itself does. For example, my iPhone doesn't), play/pause, rewind, forward. It also gives you access to seeking, repeat, shuffle, and even adding to playlists, liking songs, and seeing your queue!

It took me a while to get things published (I graduated, got busy that summer, and got busy when I moved into college. But during spring break, I finally submitted to App Store and got approved! After fixing up some bugs yesterday (Spotify changed their API access over the last year that I missed) I'm finally confident to show it to you all!

Unlike the Spotify app (the main other way to control playback) we only use around 50-60 mb of RAM, keeping things super lightweight! It's also a lot faster for things like play/pause when using media keys, as Spotify often gets backgrounded.

I wanted to keep this a lot cheaper than other apps, so Mactify is just $2.99! It's on the App Store today if you're interested.
