🌴 If you're currently a Nova user getting a year's worth of updates, check your inbox. We've just extended your updates by one free month! There's nothing for you to do, just enjoy. (Also, a big update is coming soon!) Full email: lists.panic.com/w/4qN763RInP…
A screenshot of an email to customers. The text is as follows: "We're adding an extra free month to your Nova updates! Why? Logan, the main engineer on your (hopefully) favorite Mac text editor Nova, has been working non-stop since shipping Nova 1. He's made it an incredible app, release after release, adding so much new stuff. But... we want Logan to take a break. And we don't want him to be stressed while doing it. Our never-ending drive to add new features to Nova and make your investment even more worthwhile can make it pretty tough to, well, take a vacation. So, we had an idea. We are going to add one free month to your Nova updates, to make up for Logan's quick vacation - and to hopefully put his mind at ease while he's away. There's nothing for you to do here, just enjoy an extra month of updates."

Signal can't be adopted. You'll get sued if you do. Better adopt an open standard for communication like Matrix

The problem with PMs and POs insisting that everything should look the same on both platforms is that no one apart from POs and PMs uses both platforms. To everyone else, going against platform idioms is jarring

Few people outside of the Max community know this, but Max users are some of the most generous creative people around. Constantly blown away by the depth of patch sharing over the years.

Well the new Swift Playgrounds app for iPadOS is rather wonderful! It is super easy to add a Swift Package and create a fully function app 🥳 Here’s a quick video using my github.com/pixlwave/Matrix package to connect to @matrixdotorg and send a message

Fittingly for #WholesomeSnack, our last game is a real treat! I haven't laughed this hard at a trailer since Untitled Goose Game 🤣 @LittleKittyGame put together a good one and I couldn't resist saving it for last. Thanks to all the devs who brought this showcase to life 💖

Very sad to learn that neither of these devices support 25Hz or 50Hz modes for displaying PAL content smoothly 😢

There is WAY too much that Apple didn’t talk about in its keynote, so I round up just SIX of my favorite feature that didn’t make the keynote cut, including 2FA codes, Shortcuts power improvements, getting rid of old Reminders, and MORE. sixcolors.com/post/2021/06/w…
