Sherlocked before it was born: LightBuddy
Read OriginalThe article details a developer's personal project to create a macOS app called 'LightBuddy' that turns the screen into a ring light for video calls. After building a prototype, he abandoned it, only to later see Apple introduce a nearly identical 'Edge Light' feature in macOS. The piece reflects on the concept of 'sherlocking'—when Apple integrates a third-party app's functionality—and discusses the mixed feelings of validation and missed opportunity.
