How Lunar became a necessity
by Alin PanaitiuNew job, more stuff to do, so I got myself a 4K LG Monitor to extend my small Macbook screen.
I had set up my home office right on an interior balcony where I had lots of natural light.
That meant that the monitor brightness and contrast needed to be constantly adjusted to have the screen visible in sunlight and to not blind me when the clouds/night came.
If you ever used an external monitor, you know how cumbersome it is to adjust the brightness constantly using its physical buttons or touch controls. And macOS doesn't provide any way to change the brightness from the Macbook, unless you use something expensive like an Ultrafine.
So I started working on an app to automatically adjust the brightness based on the sun position in the sky.
