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!

For your Linux wardley mapping needs.

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

I finally decided to write to make me feel like my quivering existence isn't merely job search anxiety. So what started as a simple book review sorta took on a life of its own!

Since @adrianco turned me on to Architecture for Flow by @suksr, I have been simmering with thoughts about it. I finished it last month and it has shaped what I've answered during interview questions.

But not only that, Susanne has created a great stepping-off point for me to talk about how to treat Incident Management in the context of achieving Architecture for Flow:

I was getting a little annoyed that I had to keep using VSCode to use the WardleyMaps plugin ... until I learned there is now an Obsidian plugin!!

So to give it a shot I made a WM of my observability thingy, Monteverdi, to begin to map out the user needs and get the product out of my brain a little bit onto something else besides the code.
