I don’t know why I’d like to do this, but I’d love to do a Mac and Windows word processor that implements a WordStar clone. All the way down to keyboard shortcuts and file format.
Some writers still use WordStar as their word processor of choice.
Of course there are projects I will spend my time on instead of this odd thought.
Stream comes to mind. 😃
NetNewsWire Blog: “Our mission is to make the best RSS reader that we like making. We value stability, high performance, clarity, and lots of figurative air and space rather than a mélange of features.”
I love how Brent and the NNW team hold true to what they believe – and what they want – a feed reader to be.
If you haven’t checked out NNW you really should, it’s a great product.
Here’s the Visio for Mac splash screen, thanks to Chris Roth, a long time Visio Developer.
Brent Simmons: ”But I kind of think not, because there’s a bigger issue: I expect and hope that eventually I will no longer be a public person — no blog, no Twitter, no public online presence at all.”
Wow. This could be a big move by one of those early Mac developers and bloggers I looked to for inspiration.
Of course I can’t say these thoughts haven’t crossed my mind and I definitely blog less these days. Our hope is to someday live a more nomadic lifestyle, travel the country. I expect that would lead to more blogging.
I can totally see where Brent is coming from.
I know of one person who did this; Mark Pilgrim.
UPDATE: Brent replied to my tweet that linked to this article and thought the title was a bit strong. He’s correct, it is. My mind went to Mark Pilgrim’s “digital disappearance” and I applied that to Brent’s post.
It is a bit over the top. I am sorry for that, Brent.
Time to get in on the action.
Here goes: Custom Watch Faces, iOS stability and performance improvements, and macOS stability and performance improvements
That’s it.
I’d really love to have a Dumbledore watch face.
