On iOS, I'm happy having the user use the system's text size controls (DynamicType). On macOS, I think I need to provide menu commands to scale the UI. Text scale controls are too new and hidden.

I've got Make Text Bigger (textformat.size.larger), Make Text Smaller (textformat.size.smaller) and Reset Text Size.

1. Is this the right approach?
2. Are those reasonable command names?
3. What, if any, SF symbol should Reset use? #SwiftUI #macDevelopment

Apple approved and I released the Mac build of FretSketch.

The bit I'm unsatisfied with is the handling of View Closed Chords Only. It should be an app setting and managed out of the menu bar, rather than the current scene-based setting which doesn't really work on a multi-window app on macOS.

But the whole app is new, so I reasoned one feature not working is fine for an effective 1.0. I was deeply afraid the whole app concept would be rejected.

Plus I'm moving today. #macDevelopment

"Drag up to 3 app previews and 10 screenshots here. (1280 × 800px, 1440 × 900px, 2560 × 1600px or 2880 × 1800px)"

You're fucking kidding, right? macOS App Store screenshots need to be a particular size?

Edit: Also, my Mac won't display ANY of those resolutions.

Edit #2: Turns out crops are fine. Here, have *a* screenshot. Just one. #macDevelopment #AppStore

I've decided on some future directions for FretSketch:
* Features I've already added and Mac support.

Then (unordered):
* Banjo support.
* Accessibility improvements, ASAFP. Cutting it for 1.0 burned, but I don't know how to handle it in SwiftUI yet. #iOSDevelopment #MacDevelopment

I build a Free and Open-source tool for Macs:)

To install Git on Mac, open Terminal and enter `xcode-select --install`. This command installs Git along with other Xcode tools. Alternatively, you can use Homebrew by running `brew install git`. Verify the installation with `git --version`.

IT'S ALL HAPPENING!

Open-source FPGA toolchain on macOS, in my good-friend-and-text-editor, Nova.

I'm still on the hunt for a better way (on a Mac) to synthesize SystemVerilog directly instead of converting it to Verilog first. If YOU know a way, lmkplskthx!

Nova is a fantastic, extensible tool from @cabel and his pals at @panic
