My game YOYOZO was featured in Ars Technica's "Best Games of 2023" alongside Super Mario Wonder, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Baldur's Gate 3, and more. Oh, and it is only 39 KB.

I have no idea what things are called but somebody showed me how they could start a bunch of subagents and steer each with additional messages; some closed after their task was completed, but one stayed open for followups and continued working after being prompted by the main agent who was acting as triage.

I appreciate them! Keep at it :)

There are many ways to translate it "66% Seduction", "66%'ll do" etc. But debating the translation misses 66% of the point that it's just a fun fact ;)

Reminds me of the Meat Loaf song “Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad” which was released in Japan as 66%の誘惑 “66% is Good Enough” etc https://www.discogs.com/release/8303076

You can also paste whatever file path is on the clipboard into a file dialog to instantly go to that path.

I think it's more people would rather built their own opinionated file manager than explore or understand how much Finder can really do. This app does a tiny fraction of what Finder can do and has been able to do for decades.

I like many of the ideas in this app, but IMHO it does not yet look like a macOS app: eg. strange blue focus outlines to denote active state, which on my system are larger vertically than the button they contain but not horizontally which results in a very untidy display, some buttons are smaller than the required/recommended minimum size. Some other things I've noticed, compared to Finder: far less items in the same vertical space, different keyboard shortcuts for same feature makes migration difficult.

My favourite Finder-likes: Nimble Commander, Marta

I assume this just uses standard system API, so spotlight or mdfind.

There's an app called Hazel that does your stack sorting. And you can get paths (copy file populates pasteboard with multiple forms, one of which is the file path) and paste paths easily (I use keyboard shortcut but it's also on the context menu). You can paste paths into goto box or even into file selector to instantly change the directory to the location of the file and select it. There are so many "hidden" things like this throughout macOS that it's worth asking before giving up hope that something might not be possible.

FWIW I've seen subagents remain open for followups on latest Claude.

I've used jscpd, it does "non-exact code duplication" (regardless of what its readme says) which is why I asked how Slopo compares. I'm surprised you've not tried the competition!

Unless you imported the PC Engine version, which was Pomping World :) but, yeah, it's called Pang. Except on Wikipedia or Moby Games.

Right, but a single link is not enough as there are many off-shoots on the thread (it's not linear); other Google employs chime in and all sorts of other info.

Love that chart! It could also apply almost exactly to the "Buster Bros." artocle (everybody else other than North America knows it as "Pang"). This sort of rewriting of history is rife on Wikipedia.
