Stumbled upon a "somewhat older" HTML file from September 1997 with this little nugget of a comment.
I've used plenty of Mac applications over the years. @bbedit is one of the few that I still use regularly, and with the same delight that I felt when I first discovered it. Truly a #MacAssedMacApp¹.

If you're unfamiliar with Citations, read on! Citations is meant to feel native, modern, fast, elegant, and beautiful. It's a #MacAssedMacApp in every way, but also feels at home on iPhone & iPad— unlike tools like Citation Machine or EasyBib. Those websites are cluttered, with ads, pop-ups, paywalls, and autoplaying video.
Citations is 100% #Swift and SwiftUI, and has native support for Stage Manager, Dark Mode, multiple windows, & more. It’s beautiful, and incredibly fast, with no latency!
I have a macOS-centic question for today's programming question of the day/week/month/hour/second/unit of time. I'm trying to create a custom about screen in my SwiftUI Mac app, but SwiftUI has no way to do this so I'm using AppKit. I'm a tiny bit familiar with UIKit so I was able to get it working, but the window isn't centered even after using window.center().
Does anyone know how I can make this window be in the center of the screen?
every day on mastodon is another day i want to build a real AppKit, Mac-Assed-Mac-App™︎ mastodon client.
something with a well balanced feature set — not too complicated, but not too opinionated either.
if someone wants to hook me up with some of those sweet VC funds you know where to reach me.
(no one let @joeworkman see this post — i’m not allowed to think non StacksPro thoughts until i ship)

he’s right! with catalyst and SwiftUI etc. — what is “native”!?
i don’t know what a #MacAssedMacApp is anymore.
but i’m 100% certain what is NOT: a fucking webpage in chromium window (i.e. an Electron “app”) — i’m sure that’s NOT native!!!
you have to host your webpage in a WKWebView window. then you’re all good. 👍👍
