Show HN: Windowfied

17•mnky9800n•7mo ago
My friend was saying to me today that dir in windows is superior to ls in every way. So I created windowfied for macOS on homebrew. This is dumb. I hope you love it.

brew install mnky9800n/tools/windowfied

You didn't create a good link, try this: https://windowfied.com/
mnky9800n•7mo ago
Thanks! I fixed it.
orionblastar•7mo ago
Good luck. Some Apple fans say that making Mac OS more like Windows is bad. But there is also Powershell for Mac OS: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/insta...

  * Requires Homebrew. If you don't have it, what are you even doing with your life?
Nix, spending quality time with the family as opposed to debugging architecture-specific formulæ errors.
mnky9800n•7mo ago
Haha. good point.
bravesoul2•7mo ago
Homebrew: your barrel hasn't fermented your cork, so your hops won't barley your lager. Firkin try again.
adlpz•7mo ago
Ah yes, unnecessarily skeuomorphic technobabble is the best kind of technobabble.
oneeyedpigeon•7mo ago
I know this is a joke, but as soon as I saw:

    06/22/2025
I backed away very quickly. I assume actual Windows uses the locale, so my eyeballs wouldn't be assaulted with this abomination.

For Linux/Mac users who are happy to stick with ls, but want a slash-formatted date, you can get something that is sane for you (whether or not it is sane for the rest of us) by running:

    ls -l -D '%x'
Where -D specifies a custom date format and %x means 'the date in your locale'.

This comes in a great timing to pair with the recent release of a modernized "edit" tool from the ms-dos days. You can now download edit for mac, linux and windows and enjoy the simple and nostalgic editor's remake. Personally I quite like it, the shortcuts are super easy. It's a bit barebones but it is so easy and accessible that it might replace nano for me in certain use cases.
