I’ve created the rcmd app switcher (https://lowtechguys.com/rcmd) in 2 days, going from statically assigned hotkeys in my BetterTouchTool config to a real menu bar app with dynamically assigned hotkeys for my most used apps.

A big part of that time was spent creating the icon, and copy pasting boilerplate code from my other app for the menubar UI.

Coding the main functionality of the app took little time and it still remains one of the most fulfilling projects I’ve completed.

Of course, I have invested a lot more time since then, especially in handling edge cases with odd keyboards, only because I wanted the app to be useful to as many people as possible.

But it could have stayed the way it was as well, where a 2-day project was still solving a problem thousands of people had.
