Today marks HacKit’s 5th anniversary. My first macOS app published on Friday 22nd January 2021. It is a Hacker News reader written in Swift using AppKit with no SwiftUI. The name HacKit is a portmanteau of Hacker News and AppKit.

It is genuinely rewarding to know that HacKit has been downloaded around the world including in underrepresented countries and is used daily.

More recently I have been working on my second macOS app, #Oliphaunt. A Mastodon client for the federated social network built on the ActivityPub protocol. Developing it taught me a great deal about persistence, concurrency, networking, design patterns plus more. I am keen to return to HacKit to apply this knowledge, improve the app further and work on an iOS port.
