Reusable text snippets and templates for macOS
What is Type Palette?
Type Palette is a macOS command palette for reusable text snippets, email templates, checklists, how-to instructions and AI prompts. Open the palette with a keyboard shortcut, search locally and copy text to paste into any app. It does not monitor typing or automatically replace text. Your library works offline and is stored in portable JSON files in a folder you choose. You can sync that folder with Dropbox, iCloud or Google Drive. Built-in utilities include a calculator, unit converter and password generator. Requires macOS 11 or later on Apple silicon and Intel. Personal use is free. Students, education staff and nonprofits can use it free including for work. Commercial use costs USD 18 per person per year with a 30-day work trial.

if you are an expert in something like uh a researcher or someone just with a deep knowledge in a topic these people have a hard time because the thing of lowering your ego thinking that you don't know everything and then asking people for their insights and questions it's just out of their world it's like I know everything about this topic why do I need to ask them question
Experts who can't lower their ego can't build in public — period
The single non-fixable blocker to building in public is the "I'm the expert, why would I ask?" reflex. The whole loop (ask community → take feedback → ship improvement → credit the community) requires admitting publicly that you don't already know everything. Researchers, senior executives, and 20-year operators struggle with this most. If you catch yourself drafting posts without a single question in them, you're posting at people, not building with them.
we actually ripped out all the localization infrastructure we built our own GitHub action and there's like a thin library which just extracts the strings or wraps all the strings and then each time we make a PR to our repo it just sends it with like a prompt per language about the localization guide and that means we're able to localize like way cheaper and much faster
Replace expensive localization SaaS with a GitHub Action and LLM prompts
ElevenLabs was paying an agency and an expensive SaaS for localization until engineers noticed that ChatGPT consistently produced better translations. They replaced everything with a GitHub Action: on every PR, a thin wrapper extracts strings and sends them through a per-language LLM prompt. The result is faster, cheaper, and more natural-sounding copy — making full localization of ads and app store listings practical for any team.
There's a play for whatever you're stuck on.
