    Feels like a weird omission to show zero screenshots of what it actually looks like. All the images are synthetic empty windows in a void.

      Guess they forgot to add it to the prompt.

    Not necessarily related to this or the author, but with all the supply chain attacks going on this year I sadly lost all trust in running something from a new GitHub repo that doesn't come from some trusted person/entity.

    Love the idea btw, reminds me of a similar app that added xmas light to the dock.

      Maybe it's about time we stop sharing vibe coded app binaries and start an app store for trading prompts to run on our own local coding LLMs instead.

        So we all duplicate work and give more money to model providers? Both the code and the prompts should be shared.

        Yes, the terrible urge people have to publish the results of their vibecoding is the problem - it’s why itch.io and steam and GitHub are overflowing with slop projects.

        I love seeing that someone built a thing like this! It’s a fun idea, and it is inspiring to see what kind of thing it’s possible to code up with AI assistance!

        But be honest, it’s not ship-ready. You aren’t going to handle bug reports and maintenance long term - it’s a toy you built that you’ll bore of and cast aside in a few weeks. You don’t want other people installing it and using it and bugging you to modify it.

        Share that you did it. Share what it looks like. Share some of the story of how you prompted it into existence. But don’t publish it as if the result is some sort of product.

    Just imagine getting your computer compromised by these cute sweaters

    These are cute, it pairs well with my app for macOS that turns your menu bar into an Aurora :)

    Is it just me or do the install steps really seem a bit silly? Who's using an agent to automate a brew two-liner?

    Just in time for winter.

    > You can just send this repo to your coding agent and ask it to install Window Sweaters for you

    Lazy and wasteful. Why do this when the process is running two commands?

    > brew trust saragordic/tap > brew install --cask saragordic/tap/window-sweaters

    What is the point here? This just seems like virtue signaling.

      What virtue is being signaled?

        Blind acceptance of Hygge culture.
