    Dashboard Launcher Widget for 10.4+

    Hi all, I've been working on a widget that acts as an app launcher (a la Launcher, Launchpad) for the dashboard. It's a pretty functional beta right now, but there are a few issues that still need hammered out before I can call it done for a real "1.0" app. I'm calling it dbLauncher, because...

    Quick Notes is just embarrassing, compared to Dashboard from 2011

    I thought I had encountered a bug, but apparently this is intended behavior: I had set up a hot corner, thinking I could bring up a note that way. It doesn't bring up a note.

    A replacement for macOS Dashboard appears to be in development by a 3rd party

    I thought this is extraordinary news for those who still mourn the death of Dashboard in Catalina and newer. I stumbled across the developer's site by pure accident. The replacement app is called "Widgets" and is in its 2nd iteration. More details at Widgets by Photics

    Launch Apps from Dashboard [or] How to Turn an Alias into a Widget

    Hey everyone, It would be useful and quicker to me if I was able to launch certain apps like Firefox or Spotify (the actual apps) while in Dashboard view mode, but I can’t seem to find a widget that allows me to do that. The alternative I thought of was to create an alias of an app, but I...

    Dashcam Recommendations?

    I want to buy a dashcam but I have absolutely no idea what to look for. Any recommendations? At this point I'll take features to get/avoid, makes/models to get/avoid, etc. An Amazon search returns an overwhelming number of options and I just don't know where to start. Thanks!
