It makes sense when the editor is a core feature of your paid product. I understand the sentiment. But is not it strange that I would need 8 months & a "development is ongoing" mindset just to render Markdown (which is very se

I am with you here. But I think my opinionated point from the article still stands: if you need rich text & good typography without fighting the platform, then web technologies quickly become the pragmatic choice. For my app, I will pro

Hey Marcin, Skill issue, I guess. I even tried your SSTextView (which is a very nice piece of software, by the way), though it does fit here, but I tried to understand how wrong my TextKit2 implementation is. In my tests, the SSTextView per

I tried Textual earlier today with some not-so-good results: - Static completed Markdown scrolling fails the new focused probe. Result: p95 18.86 ms vs 16.7 ms budget, max 232.49 ms. - Long live Markdown/code update path also fails. Re

Yeah, this is actually my current in-progress solution: render the final Markdown & the streaming through WebKit. And yes, I agree: on macOS, WebKit is a native OS framework. In that sense, it is "native". But I think it also

Was going to answer almost the same. This is my pet project, a desktop app for working with xAI models & capabilities, so by "performance" I mostly mean "pleasant to use" (as it goes, simple & opinionated). Techn

This is me. I use Safari’s Reading Mode for almost everything, and for sites like Medium and similar platforms, it is enabled by default. There is something pleasant and calming about a consistent reading experience when consuming text cont

Many people I know use https://astro.build/ to create impressive landing pages for products or validation. It is fully static by default which is impressive.

Thanks for the app! I am curious about some of the design decisions on the iOS side. In your blog, you mention that “We truly believe a native Android & iOS experience stands out compared to non-native approaches, and we want to highlig

I am glad that they are trying to improve the security aspect of the tool. The tool is pretty good, but it is still uncomfortable that they use Adjust and Appsflyer to track almost everything[0] and require Full Keyboard Access on iOS. [0]

Thanks for the answer! It does make sense. With a few caveats, however. From my experience, this is a way to go if you: - Identified your market fit as users who appreciate and accept calls (not the case for many. GenZ, for example, does no
