I've mentioned it before, but I've been dealing with a serious family health thing this year, and I haven't really had the brain power to do much outside of that, hence the lack of updates. And, family comes first, I know.

But income this year has not been exactly stellar as a result, so I could do with a little holiday bonus. Any help in boosting my Black Friday sales is appreciated.

Is this emotional blackmail? Yes. Am I going to shamelessly do it anyway? Also yes.

@jamesthomson Boosted and bought the things I didn't have 💜
@robb Thank you, that is very kind!
@jamesthomson I’ve boosted, bought a new tee, and sent in a couple of extra tips – a drop in the ocean, but I hope it helps!
@twostraws Thank you, that is very kind and also too much!
@jamesthomson For those of us in the US, nothing says Thanksgiving more than the tip jar.
@jamesthomson Tip on the way!
@sethkjolly do you have a link to a tip jar someplace? If so, I’d love the link. Thanks!
@jamesthomson Really sorry to hear about the year you have had. Hope it improves soon.
Cannot beat a bit of emotional blackmail 😊.
Okay, I might be only a handful of people that doesn’t own or has ever owned PCal I’ve just put that right 😊. Can also just say i always enjoy listening to you on podcasts you guessed on.

@jamesthomson

Hint: I know what you are doing. 99,8% of all people who would read my boost - not so much.
So, at least a webpage in the post might be an idea.

@Ann_Effes Yeah, I should have been clearer about asking people to boost the other posts, not that one! Thank you :)

@jamesthomson

AppStore ist the only way? No macOS version right from your webpage, right?

@Ann_Effes Yes, when we did both, only 10% bought direct, and the overhead was too much.

@jamesthomson
I see. I usually prefer direct.
Anyway: done.

btw: Theme "Brawn"
I thought: Well that looks like a calculator from … ohh… "brawn". Okay.

@jamesthomson Best wishes to you and your family James. Used PCalc for years but just realised I don't have it on macOS so I shall rectify that shortly!
@jamesthomson Boosted! Best wishes to you and your family ☺️
@jamesthomson I was blackmailed and immediately bought PCalc. Is that how you do it? ;-) All the best to you and your family, James!
@h_r_w_go I think that's marketing :) Thank you!
@jamesthomson No no. I am sure marketing is that thing, where they try to sell you stuff which you do not want. ;-)
@jamesthomson I already own all your apps — some twice, I think! And I cherish happy memories of DragThing! But tips and merch orders have been made. Good luck and best wishes, mate.
@jamesthomson Tip sent and I hope that 2025 is a much better year for you. PCalc is an invaluable app on all my Apple devices and Dice by PCalc is great fun.
@jamesthomson Sorry to hear. Pcalc already installed everywhere. So picked up Dice (just not sure my use case for it yet). Love the six colors tee and will grab one of those as well.
@kg Thank you, and I hope you find a use!
@jamesthomson sent a tip through your dice app. I’ve had a lot of fun with that, thank you!
@pb Glad to hear, thanks!
@jamesthomson tip sent! Appreciate you James. Truly hope everything works out.
@itsericp Thank you! It's unlikely there will be a good end to things, but I will try to make things as good as possible along the way.

@jamesthomson
I have bought your calculator and boosted the dice I already own. 🎲

Good luck.

@taatm Very kind of you, thanks!
@jamesthomson Donated to the tip jar, since I have all the apps already.
@jamesthomson I’ve just sent you an Enormous Tip in PCalc. I use that app so much and probably got it on sale at some point a fair few years ago. Thanks James.
@Geoffairey That's very kind, thank you!
@jamesthomson bought pcalc and sent a tip 😎
@jamesthomson Tipped and grabbed a shirt! I love PCalc and all your hard work - let all of us know if there’s any other ways we can help!
@dbargatz That's very nice, and I will let you know!
@jamesthomson Sent some tip money your way. Thanks for all you’ve done for all these years, and how much you’ve built up the Apple community. Now it’s our turn to build you up.
@jamesthomson Bought. Hope it helps a little. All the best!
@jamesthomson I don't know why I put off buying PCalc for Mac for so long since I love it on iOS and iPadOS, but this was as good a time as any to buy it!
@jamesthomson Tip on the way! I hope the health thing is resolved happily.
