Developer of the app here. You’re correct. Accessibility APIs + timer + transparent top-level NSWindow that ignores input and draws a border.

Indeed, I buried the lede in this post. But I wanted to have fun with such a silly idea, first.

Thanks, but that's not the port number :-) That was just for illustrative purposes.

Good sleuthing, but the missing port number is simpler than that. I just blacked it out of the screenshot. I know very well that running sshd on a non-standard port has no benefits security-wise, but it does lessen the length of my log file

Yeah, it's a $5/month DigitalOcean box with only my blog on it and nothing else. All assets come off a CDN and Varnish is sitting in front of WP, but looks like that still wasn't enough this time. It worked fine for my previo

> it’s probably useful to others? That's my intent. I'll put it back online for others to find once the fuss dies down.

Sadly, I mean it. Don't want to go through this again. Taking down the post for now.

Yeah, sorry. That's just Xcode's default header. Feel free to open a PR or issue.

OP here. I think we're aiming for the same thing - though with slightly different priorities. Of your list of minimums that DefaultApp omits: Not every app adheres to a Document-based pattern. The apps I personally build typically fall

OP here. Thanks for pointing out that omission. It's MIT like all my other stuff. I've updated it.

OP here. I never installed Catalina (or any recent beta software in years) on my primary machine that I get work done on. My Catalina testing this Summer was explicitly kept to an old laptop and virtual machines. My "simpler" comm

Been running WP for god knows how long for my personal site, while my company website is built with Jekyll. In June I migrated to Ghost simply to try it and learn more about Node. It was _fine_, but never really fit my mental model of how a

sigh I switched back to WordPress literally five days ago and haven't yet gotten around to installing a caching plugin. My bad. I've turned Cloudflare caching on in the meantime.

OP here. Thank you. I have no issues with the tightening of security and permissions on Catalina. In fact, I welcome it both for myself and my aging parents who I want to remain safe online. My issue, as you said, is the implementation and

http://clickontyler.com/ VirtualHostX was my first app, the one that grew slowly over a few years and then took off. Hostbuddy is a small, companion app that does moderately well. Hobo is my newest, still in beta, that I ho

I was in the same situation as you a few years ago. My Mac app was making enough money to be helpful but not quite enough to be worth the trouble. I seriously considered open sourcing it. But I stuck with it and, four years later, it grew a

I've had two offers from companies wanting to buy out VirtualHostX. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately), neither company made compelling arguments for me to give up steady, stable income.

Nginx is high on mine and my users' wish lists. I'm still trying to figure out if it's even possible to integrate with VirtualHostX (which is Apache focused) given the UI differences Nginx support would dictate or if it would

For the first five years, it was myself, alone in my home office at night and on weekends. My wife went to bed early and I'd have 10pm - 1am every night to hack around - plus random times on the weekend. After I went full time with it,

Thanks! My original goal was extremely simple. Earn $X to do Y home improvement project. But as the app took off I've readjusted my goals. I've never thought about becoming "rich", instead, I see it as a wholly possible

Aaron Hillegass's "Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X" is how I got started. Likely, his new books only focus on iOS development. But this book pre-dates the iPhone. I learned Mac dev from it in 2005. Highly recommended for the b

Do you think the exposure the Mac App Store offers is worth Apple's 30% cut along with the lack of upgrade options for customers? Why not also (or in place of) sell your software directly through your website? I'm the author of th
