I misread the title and was expecting a collection of windows-themed sweaters like Microsoft (used to?) put out every year.

Me too, I think it's because the `w` at the end followed by the `S` on the beginning of the next word create a cacophony when reading it.

I stopped using JankyBorders because of a limitation it has with Stage Manager which I somehow got used to using it.
Looks like there's no way to support Stage Manager without creating some strange ghost border thing due the way it captures and records the application window.

These are beautiful. Such a great idea!

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.

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.

LLM-generated or not, I think anybody should be free to publish source code that they have no plans to maintain, although it would be better if clearly stated. I have found great value in abandoned repositories over the years.

All fair points, this was a completely new experience for me. I’m a product designer and wanted to see if Claude/Codex could help me make this real;
I posted about it on X (https://x.com/saragordic/status/2098916110787916219?a=sJ1QQB...), and so many ppl liked it that I just wanted to open-source it immediately. It’s not a polished product, but I use it every day and I’m still fixing things when I can. And it made a lot of people happy + I met so many amazing people because of it!

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

It would be nice if the title mentioned it's for macOS... Cute anyhow :)

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.

The AI generated (read: fake) mockup image that's first in the README looks great! This would be really cool if it looked like that, but it doesn't.

That's actually exactly what happened

heeey, I'm the author of this! can’t believe this made it to Hacker News lol. thank you for posting it!
screenshots: I added the little video now; you can see many more screenshots on X, a lot of ppl shared their own
trust: totally fair; if you’d rather not run my binary you can build it yourself with the steps in the README.
the “send it to your coding agent” install line: that’s for ppl like me :D
I’ve learned a tooon by open sourcing this; thank you all for the feedback!!

So cool, thank you for the context. And love the window sweaters!
Also, excellent quick reaction posting the video, it was a great addition to have in the README to show it off

I'd love rain jackets in the spring and autumn, and hawaiian prints in the summer.

All my life, never did I know, that I was missing "window sweaters"
Whats next? Folder mittens?

Thanks, I hate it!
Jokes aside - this produced a visceral reaction in that I would never want this anywhere near my own desktop. While at the same time making me so happy that something this silly exists for the people who do enjoy it!

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

a bit of context: I’m a product designer, and this was my very first open source project. I made it purely for fun, here’s where it started: https://x.com/saragordic/status/2098916110787916219

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.
