I’ve found a TextExpander snippet that I used for support. It mentioned the previous name of our app, Trickster, “Blast”. When we released version 2.0, we renamed it to Trickster. This was in June 2012. So this snippet is about 14 years old now, at least. A Blast from the past, pun intended. https://www.apparentsoft.com/trickster

@jochenwolters I’m issuing terminal quite a lot (and more now with all AI CLI tools). This year I’ve switched to Ghostty mostly for it being fast, lightweight and working well. I’ve used iTerm2 to a few years but it feels slower and I wasn’t using its power features much any so it was easy to switch to try a new one.
@chockenberry @marcedwards I do hope Apple fixed this since they are exactly what’s needed for Black Friday. But I have my fears.
@chockenberry @marcedwards exactly my experience a year ago, as I told. We could generate the codes but people mostly couldn’t redeem them. Search “already expired” on AppKit Abusers for that thread.
@marcedwards @chockenberry Recently heard about the same problem from another developer. But I agree with Craig, the email was confusing and could include the instructions. Or at least the link to the docs.
@marcedwards @chockenberry You can generate the codes with a single code (multi-use). App Store Connect shows a URL that you append the CODE to, to get a link that can be shared to redeem it. One problem is that, in my experience, for Mac apps it's a hit or miss. It used not to work for some customers for the same coupon code, but worked for others. So, alas, typical Apple quality. I was for days on call with Dev Support last Black Friday, and they couldn't identify the problem.

In other news, I was let go on Thursday (startup ran out of cash), and am now looking for my next thing! I’ve got 20+ years of experience across the board from Apple Platform development/Server-side Swift, to HTML/CSS/JS/TS/React/Node, and am confident I can be productive in any environment!

I'm open to Full-Time or Contract, and despite being US based, have EU and Asia-friendly work hours, though remote is my only requirement.
