itch.io

Yes, it includes support for both Windows 10 and 11

Thanks for the help and letting me know.

Hi there, sorry about the late reply.

And to answer your question, the app isn't just a unity tool, rather it's a universal productivity tool.

It let's you view any site or your local media files in a floating window that stays on top. These windows can be clicked through and their opacity changed to best fit your workflow.

You just enter the url or drag your file into it and it'll open a window with just the specified site or file, so there are no distracting controls in the way and you have a clean workspace.

There are screenshots of the app that show how it looks and works, however, a video would definitely be better. So I'm currently working on making a video for it, and will add it to the product page as soon as I can.

Hope you found this helpful and I hope you have a nice experience with Slate in your workflow!

Cheers,

Ayan

Hi,

I've initiated a payout (ID 59003) and it's been 100 days since it's just stuck at "paying" and the payment isn't being received.

The first time I initiated a payment, it took a few days and was processed easily, but this time it's been over 3 months and yet nothing has happened. Is there something I'm missing or did wrong while initiating the payment, or is there a reason as to why it might be stuck?

Thanks,

Ayan

Hi,

I hadn't noticed that bug before, so thanks for the feedback and letting me know of it! And I've tried dragging in files from folder other than Videos and it seems to work fine, though I'll still look into trying it from various other drives, including external ones, to see if I can replicate and try to resolve this issue.

And as for playing MKV files, the file format isn't supported natively by nodeJS or chromium (what Slate is built on top of) and I believe that's why Slate isn't able to play them. There are a few hacky ways that I've tried to get them playing, but that resulted in a bad experience overall including things like the video being played while the sound was absent. Though at the same time support for multiple media formats as well as support for certain streaming services are still on the roadmap and the aim is to be able to view as many media types as possible, so I'll try my best to fix the problems you've mentioned.

Thanks,

Ayan

Hi!
I'm glad you like the app.

A Linux version has actually already been developed for Slate. However, due to platform specific differences and the wide range of Linux distros available, certain features don't seem to be working on certain Linux distros.

For eg, changing the opacity doesn't work on the latest Ubuntu version, however, it works on certain older versions of Ubuntu. So right now I'm trying to find a way to make sure that all the features works seamlessly across all Linux distros, as it wouldn't be a good experience if it didn't work the same on OS.

I appreciate the info, I'll look into it and try to fix it at my best

And I'll also let you know when it's fixed

Hi,
Thanks for your feedback. I'm currently looking into the Widevine CDM issue you've mentioned and will try to fix it at as soon as possible.
Could I also know which OS you've experienced this problem on?

Thanks,

Ayan

Hey everyone, I've made an app called Slate that let's you have transparent floating windows for multitasking on your Mac and Windows.

Whether you want to follow tutorials in real-time as you code, relax with games as you watch your code compile or browse docs as you bring your next project to life, Slate let's you do all that and much more, so you can make the most of your time without limiting yourself.

I've created the website for the app using Three.js and tried to make the landing page have a unique and memorable feel while still providing info about the app, what it does and it's use cases. You can check out the site here: slate.madebyayan.com

And when I got to making the project page for itch.io, I tried to keep a similar flow to maintain consistency with the website. And as the website and the project page are separate mediums, I'd like to know your feedback on what you feel I can do to improve the project page for the app. The project page is here: madebyayan.itch.io/slate

Thanks! :)

SLATE | The Definitive way to Multitask

Hi Elpea, thanks for your feedback!

The app is built using the electron framework, and since it packs the chromium engine within the app, that's what results in a larger file size while providing a nice experience.

The app let's you view any site or your local media files in a floating window that stays on top. These windows can be clicked through and their opacity changed to best fit your workflow.

You just enter the url or drag your file into it and it'll open a window with just the specified site or file, so there are no distracting controls in the way and you have a clean workspace.

There are screenshots of the app that show how it looks like on an actual desktop, but you're absolutely right a video would be way better! I'm currently working on making a video for it, so I'll try to finish and upload it soon.

There are 2 separate parts, the floating window and the Slate console panel. The panel allows you to have full control over the window and all it's settings. Each floating window has a separate Slate panel, this was a choice that made so you can individually customize each window separately to best fit your needs. If you want a particular floating window to be click-through and at half the opacity, while the other to not be click-through, you can do this with Slate.

Hope you found this helpful and I hope you have a nice experience with Slate in your workflow!

Cheers,

Ayan

It's feedback like yours that help in making the app more useful for your workflow and for others as well, so I appreciate the feedback and suggestions I get!

Also, you're welcome!

Hey!

I hadn't though about using Slate for reading .epub books. So, that's a really nice and useful use-case you've mentioned!

I'll definitely add this feature into the roadmap and look into adding .epub support natively into Slate, so you can read .epub files even when offline.

However, at the current stage, you can use online third part sites like THIS to open and view your .epub files from within Slate.

Also, thanks for your kind words and I hope you have a nice experience using Slate!

Appreciate the feedback!

Support for Ubuntu and Linux are currently in the works! And if there are enough requests to get it onto Mac as well, then support for it will also be added to the roadmap.

Slate is an app that lets you multitask without you having to constantly switch windows.

Image picture-in-picture, but for anything that you'd like.

And you get to open as many windows as you like that stay on-top of what you're doing.

Whether you want to:

• Follow tutorials in real-time as you code
• Relax with games as you watch your code compile
• Browse docs as you bring your next project to life
• Or do all of them at the same time!

Then Slate is perfect for you!

And not only that, but Slate also let's you float any of your favorite websites or local files so you can always stay on top of the things that matter most to you!

You can check out Slate here: madebyayan.itch.io/slate

You can also visit the official site for more details.

This is the second in a series of productivity apps I'm building, the first one being Focus Wall. So, if you like these and would want to add more tools in your development arsenal, stay tuned!

Hi!

I'm glad you've found it to be practical in your workflow, I'll be looking forward to the projects you make in the future!

Features like adblocks and plugins are on the roadmap, and they'll be added in a future version.

Also, could you expand more on what aspects you find being uncomfortable? It'll be helpful to know how I can make it a better experience for your use cases

Hey,

The app (both the Main and the Lite versions) have been update to support multiple languages including Vietnamese!

Hope you have a nice experience using it in your language.

The Vietnamese Unicode font will be added within this week.

In the meantime, you can check out the main Focus Wall app as it comes bundled with several fonts.

Hi, it's not abandoned, in fact it was just released 3 days ago! So do stay tuned for further updates.

And of course, a Unicode font will be added in the next update. Also, could you let me know which language you'd like to use it with so I can test it out before shipping?

Thanks for your feedback!
