alt Hacker NewsLooks great but even $40 for a perpetual license with only two years of updates still seems excessive.
Taskbar, Uber, etc. cost less and have unlimited updates. How is this better?

I've already used these apps and they did not serve my purpose well.
- I forced myself to use uBar but it has another level of jank that doesn't sit right with me - it is not reliable on a multi-monitor setup, there's no guarantee it'll work after waking up from sleep. If you maximize windows they will sit behind uBar sometimes - all of which boringBar does better and is more reliable at.
- Taskbar by Lawand is better than uBar but it has similar problems with multi-monitor support and wake from sleep. Apart from that their "start menu" app launcher is still in beta and you have to download a beta version from the developer's twitter page to actually use it. And obviously it's a subjective thing but the boringBar UI is a lot better - it integrates nicely with macOS.
Thank you for mentioning my app (https://lawand.io/taskbar/). It is still free for the foreseeable future and once the paid version comes out it will be 25$ for a lifetime license, and I will not offer a subscription option
