thanks that's great feedback. currently thinking and working right now on the best way to handle customisability of the keyboard (without making it a chore to configure or a horrendous ui). hadn't considered "chords" yet but it's one we'll consider as we approach this
Terminus was a sledgehammer for the small, neat little app I wanted to build (though I'm sure it's great). Plus a big driver was the ability to use Ghostty's engine. I'm not familiar with what Terminus use under the hood.
huge fan and user of Sparkle. a while back I wrote a wrapper around it for automatically creating a changelog, signing software etc and its worked perfectly for years https://replay.software/bump
I use Sparkle on all the Mac apps I work on and always found the setup docs somewhat convoluted so happy to see this.
A couple years ago I built https://replay.software/bump to automate into the cloud the entire Sparkle process, and it's made it much more idiot-proof to create the changelog, do signing and release.
I'm one of the creators of Sleeve, a "now playing" desktop accessory for the Mac https://replay.software/sleeve. We charge a one time fee for the app, and average around $700/mo. We've been working on it entirely in our spare time for the last couple of years.
That’s pretty cool.
It’s nice to see that people are willing to pay for simple but effective utility apps on MacOS.
I feel like that type of paid app is almost completely gone from Linux and Windows.
I’ve switched to MacOS last year and have been tinkering away on a few things to improve my own workflow as well as dip my toes into native Mac programming with swift.
I would never have thought about polishing it up and trying to sell it had I developed it for Linux, but seeing stuff like this makes me want to give it a shot even if it’s just to see the whole process through.
