I'm working on McKinley, a Mac app for making SF Symbols, launching soon around the end of August!
Do your vector editing within McKinley, or import SVGs from any source. Make variable symbol weights by setting line widths or adjusting geometries. Preview in-app, including animation, and export straight to an asset catalog.
To be informed on release, join our mailing list: https://double-thrice.eo.page/h9jv5
Video demo: https://youtu.be/enZ5A_bTdfg

hmmm, they’re using Paddle for checkout. I wonder who they use for the key backend…

@npub1kvq…un0c does Amore Licensing support paid version upgrades? Eg, a new license of v2 costs $50. If you have a v1 license, it only works on v1. But your v1 license lets you buy a v2 license for $25?

I made a video showing how to use McKinley, my in-development Mac app for making SF Symbols.

how are you finding the perf of diffable data source in general? I’m probably going to need to rely on it a lot for the Mac version of Deluge.

that’s crazy! So many gotchas in the APIs these days.

should be fine then, I'll give it a go!
I don't suppose you support a user-supplied tileset (i.e. a link to map tiles in the standard format for a custom map layer)? No worries if not, but if you do then it would be amazing :)

can you name the track after recording it?

Anyone got recommendations for iOS apps for capturing GPX info?
I want:
* log a point and name it
* start logging a small route, name it before or after I've walked it
* view all the things I've logged so far, and be able to go back in and amend the names
Bonus points, ability to add additional notes relating to a point or route.

Just had to rewrite a bunch of the placement logic for Octavo, my PDF imposition/printing Mac app. It was a bit of a rabbit hole, there were a bunch of bugs and bad assumptions interacting together, and as soon as I wanted to place a page slot rotated 90 degrees, they all came to the surface.
Fixed and unit tested now.
As a reminder, the TestFlight beta is open: https://octavo.pro

@npub15c5…sjwd any idea why Ivory Mac does not hide when I do Hide Others from another app?
I'm trying to automate taking app screenshots, and in my script I have to have a warning reminding me to hide Ivory manually!

Anyone in the (UK) midlands want (free):
* A3 laser printer (HP Laserjet 5000) with ethernet; no duplex, manual feed tray sometimes misfeeds multiple sheets, otherwise working
* HP cp3525 color laser, A4 with duplex and ethernet. Has fault 59.F0 -- there are repair videos on YouTube.
* PowerMac G5, dual core 2ghz. Has two video cards. I'll remove hard drive. Worked last time I booted it (years ago!)

even if they don’t back off, if they see a systematic feedback pattern I think they should have to conduct an analysis on why people are responding that way.

Rumours: Apple are redesigning their operating systems
Us: Oh god, please no!
Twenty years ago, we’d have heard this and been excited for what delights it would bring. These days, not so much.

what about “a machine shall never use more power to perform a job than would be used by an equivalent human”?

I didn’t know that one until I googled it just now :(

don’t they measure loaves by weight? Loaves here have been 400g/800g for as long as I can remember…
