> they do the same job

The quality of the job is vastly different, though. This video shows great examples:

In the comments it reveals this guy is using the sharpener wrong by doing way too many pulls with too much pressure.

The cheap ikea one is fine, it will not wear out your blade. 2-3 pulls at very light pressure, no need to learn how to use a whetstone properly, perfect UX for those who don’t typically sharpen knives.


It might not have as many features as the posted tool, but I've always really enjoyed visualizing the finite state diagrams produced by https://www.debuggex.com/


FYI for iOS users; instead of toggling this through the accessibility tap you can also set up a Shortcut that toggles the white point, or even just toggle it directly from Spotlight on the home screen by searching "white point" and tapping the switch


I've long looked for a good mouse utility for Mac that can disable mouse acceleration, modify scroll wheel behavior, etc. This one even saves preferences per-device which I find very useful.


I’m eager to try this out, but you might also want to check out Steermouse[1], which is a utility it took me years longer to discover than it should have.

I’m not sure how it stacks up to this open source project, but it’s definitely been worth the license cost to me over the years.

Long time user of Steermouse, it was a life saver when transitioning from Windows and just could not get used to OSX mouse acceleration curve


I just installed LinearMouse. It doesn't support the extra buttons on my Logitech MX Vertical mouse, but SteerMouse does. That by itself is worth the license cost for me.


Hello, I'm the author of LinearMouse. It seems that you have both LinearMouse and SteerMouse installed simultaneously. As they have similar functionalities, if one of them captures and processes the side button event, the other may not receive it.


I use and really like Steermouse. Would love to hear from anyone who’s test-driven the two and has thoughts on comparison.


I use SteelSeries Exactmouse for years. It seems the most reliable.


I’m not sure off the top of my head if BetterTouchTool can disable the mouse acceleration, but it can definitely modify everything else.


personally i prefer this one https://github.com/Caldis/Mos
