God, I love AppleScript. Such a cool language. Sure, a little clunky in certain ways (especially when interfacing with MS Word, the AppleScript commands of which seem to be created by a Martian), but generally, it's freaking awesome.

Pausing the debugging of this AppleScript program for tonight. My brain hurts.
But still, productive day: conferencing, hearing many cool talks, and giving a hopefully cool one myself, and writing the basic parts of said program. Onwards and upwards!

Also, I've just started learning AppleScriptObjC, the Cocoa/Objective C interface/framework for AppleScript, which expands the abilities of the language almost infinitely. Such cool stuff.

I really can't overstate the amount of powerful automation work you can do with Apple's built-in Script Editor app for Mac, an AI vibecoding tool, and AppleScript/Javascript for automation.
It's completely changed the way I work with my old projects, which are stored on hard drives and NAS servers.

Аз искам да го въвеждам това при създаване на събитието. Може би мога да пиша някакви неща в notes, и да карам този applescript (или както се казва сега) да ги чете.
Applescript (още от както беше hypercard script) е доста мощен. Бил Аткинсън е бил гений.

Mac の Mail に蓄えられた受信メール、POPやIMAP経由で受信した同じメールが複数あって、それがもう四半世紀ばかり貯まっていて、アプリの動作が重くなるような影響があるだろうから、重複したメールを削除するプログラム、AppleScript をＡＩに作ってもらい、運用テストしながら様子を見て調整し、バックグラウンドで動かしている。タイムアウトしないように少しずつ動かしているけれど、不要なメール、合計で数十万通ありますね。

Not a clean one, sorry. Closest I know: Chrome’s AppleScript dictionary returns windows on every Space and only needs the Automation prompt. Try `get {given name, title} of windows`, though I’m not sure the profile shows up. If not, a window name the user sets per profile might be the fallback.

Who would have thunk that writing a big book on Northwest Semitic poetic motifs would be the reason for me to get back into coding in order to make the entries in the big list of motifs manageable? I sure didn't! But I'm extremely happy it did. Bring me back into coding, that is.

It would’ve been such a great complement to the Shortcuts app, if it had already existed. (The Touch Bar supported AppleScript macros natively, but was a chore to set up.)

exactly. terminals, tiling window managers, we have the substrate. just manipulate it. I prototyped this with Ghostty and a bunch of AppleScript, but Rex is scriptable directly
i also have a perfectly good os and window manager that i like and tolerate and 2 decades of muscle memory! i’d rather use that and unbundle those ubiquitous UIs into standalone applications and libraries that i can remix into something myself

Guidepup’s VoiceOver integration is built currently the same as your PoC - AppleScript plus a tonne of polling, timeouts, and retries.
The plan is that in github.com/guidepup/gui... we adopt the Boucoup setup and then we’ll be aligned with NVDA and Orca in receiving a stream of spoken output
