In the spirit of advocating for more native Mac Development, HIG topics, etc., I wanted to share (early) my upcoming app: Address Book.

It uses the Contacts API on Mac so it keeps everything in sync with your Contacts across your Apple devices — it’s just a new UI for macOS. One that works.

You’ll notice that this app isn’t trying to be “an experience” but more of a practical tool you can rely on. One that “just works.”

It is unapologetically “Macintosh.” Coming Soon.

There are clearly many reasons why people are switching to Vivaldi. Interestingly, my little survey shows that the top reasons have more to do with our values than particular features.

The #1 reason (77%) is the fact that we do not have built in AI. #2 is that we do not build profiles on our users (67%). #3 is that we are made in Europe. #4 and #5 is that we do not build in Crypto currencies and the built in ad and tracker blocker.

We will continue to listen to our users. We have chosen a different path to our competitors and we continue to try to do the right thing.

Thank you for your support!

Apple's help books are barely documented, so I wrote up how I build one out of the same Markdown that feeds my docs site.

The trap that cost me an evening: hiutil's CoreSpotlight index only works once Spotlight has imported your help bundle, and that never happens for a debug build out of DerivedData. Use the legacy LSM format instead.

pandoc and a ten-line Lua filter do the rest.

I'm happy to report that MacOS 27 Golden Gate seems to run stable 24/7 on my Mac Mini M4 server. However there's not a lot installed on there.

I have decided not to upgrade my production machine YET. There's limited information available about audio plugin compatibility. Moreover Ableton Live doesn't seem to be officially supported yet.
Adobe Lightroom Classic/CS seem to have contrasting user experiences.

First day with #macOS 27 and #iOS 27:

- the iPhone is smoother and quicker, but today I've had a high battery usage (I guess reindexing is doing its job)
- the MacBook M1 Pro is definitely quicker.

All in all, it seems a good upgrade, at least for now.

More and more people are joining Vivaldi and there are many different reasons why. Which of these are important to you?

I am allowing multiple choices as I know for many of you it is not about one thing. Some of this is thing that we do, but I know for may it is also about things we do not do, such as including AI or Crypto currencies.

Looking forward to today's release o MacOS 27 Golden Gate. I honestly haven't been this excited about a new MacOS update for over a decade and I am considering a day 1 upgrade over my current Mac OS 15.7.9 Sequoia installation.

I have been testing Golden Gate earlier on an old Macbook Air M1 and it felt very polished, efficient. While I hated Tahoe and therefore never upgraded to it, I think Liquid Glass has been improved to the point that I'm ready to embrace it.

Hazel is one of those indispensable apps that sits quietly on my Mac, renaming files based on their contents (e.g. reading PDFs in my Downloads folder, and renaming it “power bill” if it has my power utility customer number in it, and also prepending the date it was issued, again read from the PDF) and filing them accordingly. So useful. #macOS #Utility

One of the things I find deucedly frustrating about modern #macos is that SO MUCH of the mechanics of actually making full use of your machine are either undocumented or woefully under-documented.

And because they change so often, searching for help on the internet VERY often yields just plain wrong information.

Take for instance the struggle I had trying to simply set up an automount for my home NAS share.

How the !$@# is that even supposed to work? After wasting hours combing through man pages and making unsuccessful attempts, I finally got it working with the help of infernal machines 3:< but I put the script into a Github repo in case others might find it useful.

https://github.com/feoh/macos-nas-automount

But this is the kind of crap you just don't need to struggle with on Linux. NFS/Automount interfaces have been around FOREVER and are fairly well documented.
