When I announced the imminent launch of my latest app project, The Archive, a beta tester asked how many jars of coffee I consumed while coding. “Jar” is no mistake. I drink from a 750ml glass jar, full to the brim. That’s one portion of cowboy coffee, or is it turkish coffee? – I’m not quite sure what to call it: grind the beans, pour water, stir from time to time, let it settle, then drink.
My friend and fellow Mac developer Daniel, known for the productivity tracker Timing 2 (affiliate link), assembled a list of general-purpose productivity apps for Valentine’s Day and offers exclusive discounts. My own app, the Word Counter, is on this list, too.
Check out his post and enjoy your lovely treat of discounted apps for Mac.
For whatever reason, my current app project’s find bar does not make the text view firstResponder again when you hit Escape or click the “Done” button to close it. This is very uncomfortable for users: they type away, hit ⌘F to find a phrase, then hit Esc – and now they’re in limbo. To my astonishment, the NSTextFinderAction called hideFindInterface is not triggered when you make the find bar disappear. Its opposite, showFindInterface, is triggered when the find bar slides back in, though. Intercepting in NSTextView.performTextFinderAction(_:) does not help, then.
