It's hard when method wars between Agile and Six Sigma hide what you're actually building. Simon Wardley shared how mapping a system's evolution helps choose the right approach for each component, avoiding costly failures. Look at the landscape first, then pick your tools.

So MapClassic does run on macOS 9 through 68k emulation. No color icons it seems, so I'll look into that.
v1 will release without color in the maps though. I'll see what to do and whether it's realistic to maintain both a CodeWarrior project and a THINK C project. I still want to primarly develop it on the SE/30.

there's still some work left to do, but MapClassic is pretty usable. I expect a 1.0 release this month. Still need to test system 6, performance, and add color icons.
Last screenshot is the same map rendered by the modern Map renderer. The placements are a bit different because of the font sizes, but otherwise pretty much the same.

Map for Linux is now available on Flathub!
https://flathub.org/en/apps/systems.tranquil.Map
For your Linux wardley mapping needs.
It's out! Map for linux is now available (https://map.tranquil.systems/map-for-linux)
What is it: A Wardley Map editor using the wmap syntax for Linux. (GTK4, AGPL3)
It joins the family of wmap tooling that include a native macOS application, cli tool, and fedwiki plugin. (see: https://map.tranquil.systems)
Available as a Flatpak for aarch64 and x86_64
(Plus .deb for trixie/forky, .rpm for fedora 42,43,rawhide, an arch .pkg, and an .AppImage)
Fun day with THINK C! Map will be one of the first apps to release a 68k version *after* the apple silicon version.
I'm surprised that the C parser and QuickDraw renderer actually run fast enough on the SE/30.
There's still a bunch of cosmetic improvements to the renderer, and *a lot* of basic things (a menu, keyboard shortcuts, working scrollbar arrows). But It's nice to see the parser running.

Actually making progress on map for linux. I picked up the original codebase and used wmap-parser-rust and wmap-renderer-rust!
It'll take a bit to get feature parity, but a working first version might come in a few days :D
wiki-plugin-wmap is now available!
A plugin for federated wiki that allows you to render wardley maps from wmap syntax.
You can check it out here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/wiki-plugin-wmap
* example:: https://wiki.r.bdr.sh/view/welcome-visitors/view/about-wmap-plugin
* fedwiki: http://fed.wiki.org/view/welcome-visitors
* wmap syntax: https://map.tranquil.systems/wmap-language/
Pretty happy to reach this point for the wmap #fedwiki plugin.
It took a while to understand the plugin format, but I think wiki-plugin-markdown and wiki-plugin-graphviz werevery helpful.
I'll have to go through my code again and simplify, as I included a lot of things I didn't actually understand.
Now available: version 4.3.0 of Map, the wardley map app for macOS!
- New: Now with iCloud Drive collaboration support
- Under the hood: It now uses a new parser + a tree-sitter based syntax highlighter.
Check it out over here: https://map.tranquil.systems
