Each time I’d end up reopening the same apps and dragging all the windows back into the right Spaces. Super repetitive and honestly kind of annoying.

So over the past few weeks I hacked together a small open-source tool called SpacePigeon that basically remembers your whole workspace and puts everything back where it was.

Things it can do:

Save your current layout (apps + windows + Spaces)

Restore it with one click or a hotkey

Keep separate presets (like “Work”, “Coding”, “Meetings” etc.)

Handle external monitors

Example: I hit my “Work” preset and it opens all the usual apps and moves them to the right desktops automatically. Saves me a few minutes every time.

If anyone here lives in Spaces like I do, you might find it useful. Here’s the repo (MIT, free): https://github.com/louivers/spacepigeon

Totally open to feedback — still very much a work in progress.17:T6dc,Hi HN,

I’m building Hanzi Stroke (https://www.hanzistroke.com) to solve a very specific problem: learning to write Chinese characters is unintuitive for non-native learners.

Most learners rely on rote memorization, which is inefficient and often leads to incorrect stroke habits. While there are dictionary apps that show static stroke order diagrams, they lack interactivity. The key to muscle memory is deliberate practice with immediate feedback.

So, I made a single-page application that provides: Dynamic stroke order animations for over 9,000 characters. Interactive canvas practice where you trace characters on screen, stroke-by-stroke,
