Event-Driven Automation on macOS with Crank

Crank is a macOS program that runs in the background and automatically performs actions in response to system events (“triggers”), such as a notification, a keyboard shortcut, an AppleScript, or a script written in zsh, Python, Ruby, Perl, or Swift. Since I’m interested in automation on macOS and writing scripts, I found Crank’s approach intriguing and wanted to take a closer look at the program, so I wrote a short review. - Getting started with the program and its interface - The structure of a rule: Trigger – Condition – Action - How AI can help when writing actions - Creating custom triggers via script, using a rain alert as an example

Why I wrote my own CMS so I could write a novel in a month

Growing up, I always wanted to be a professional writer. It's still something I aspire to, but I get just as many creative kicks out of building software - and the pleasure is even greater when, just occasionally, I get to combine the two.

To have "won" NaNoWriMo means that you've written a complete novel of over 50,000 words over the course of the 30 days of November, and most of the time I
