Hammerspoon

I am happy to announce a new release of my new book “Learning Hammerspoon”, including a brand new chapter Hammerspoon Cookbook, Tips and Tricks and many other improvements.

I am the author of two books: Learning CFEngine and Learning Hammerspoon, both self-published using Leanpub. The source of my books is kept in GitHub repositories. In this post I will show you how I use the Leanpub API together with Hammerspoon and CircleCI as part of my workflow, to automate and monitor the building, previewing and publishing of my books.

Here’s how to fix the breakage caused by one of the recent updates to Microsoft Outlook in the Outlook-to-OmniFocus AppleScript included with my SendToOmniFocus spoon.

In this second article about Hammerspoon, we look into Spoons, modules written in Lua which can be easily installed and loaded into Hammerspoon to provide ready-to-use functionality. Spoons provide a predefined API to configure and use them. They are also a good way to share your own work with other users.

This is the first installment of a series of posts about Hammerspoon, a staggeringly powerful automation utility which gives you an amazing degree of control over your Mac, allowing you to automate and control almost anything. In the word of Hammerspoon’s motto: Making the runtime, funtime.
