Lunar

As the dev of a macOS app that breaks all the time because of external hardware, the tone of the article hits close to home. (I’m talking about https://lunar.fyi/ whose brightness control commands can be blocked by USB-C hubs, “smart” monitors, too long cables etc.) I had to disable public GitHub issues on the app repo [1] because people seemed to fuel each other with spiteful comments and “why can’t you just!!” sentences. The contact form still attracts many such “entitled” people and it hurts to wake up to such messages, but at least I can choose to ignore those if I can’t bring anything to the discussion. There’s no peer pressure. These people are expecting too much from a handful of developers who are sharing a lot of free work and time that could have been spent better than hunting new IDs in URLs and updating regular expressions.

Since Ventura 13.3, you can access those hidden resolutions yourself from System Settings by Option-clicking on a scaling option. Also, Lunar is mostly open-source and many apps borrowed code from it (even competitors). For example here is the Notch button implementation: https://github.com/alin23/Lunar/blob/master/Lunar/Data/Displ... The Notch disabling function is free and doesn't require paying for a Pro license.
