I’ve implemented that feature but I haven’t had the time to push out a new update (family life and day job take up all my time). I’ll try to prioritise this over the next few weeks…

Yup, that's me! EventBox [1] was rebranded as Socialite after it got acquired [2] by Realmac Software. [1] https://milen.me/software/eventbox-walkthrough/ [2] https://www.macworld.…

The team is just me - the developer. There’s no affiliation whatsoever, I’m actually quite surprised every time Monodraw appears on the front page as the app just had its 10th birt…

At least back in the day, it used to be common to "buy a license" or "buy a serial key". I didn't really put too much thought into the phrasing, as I haven't received any feedback.…

As jamil7 noted, Monodraw predates SwiftUI by about 4yrs. But more importantly, my priority is delivering the best user experience and that's where AppKit shines.

One idea I've been toying with would be to do a Kickstarter-style campaign and if it reaches a certain threshold, then I know it would be worth porting.

FWIW, pirated copies of Monodraw are widely available, I take that as a form of flattery :D

Oh, wow - so happy to hear from a Clear user! I was one of the co-creators of Clear and the developer who built the iOS app. It was co-created by me, Realmac and Impending. I had p…

Yeah, it's unclear how many people fall into that bucket. I'm sure it's non-zero but I don't know if it's worth the time.

Targeting Windows/Linux/web still means I cannot re-use the sources. But targeting web might be faster in terms of development time, although I don't have deep expertise on non-App…

Yeah, there's a few such libraries that I'm aware of but I haven't had time to evaluate them. I do plan to at least look into them and make decision from there.

The top two features I want to add next are table support and some form of auto layout (like flexbox). I really care about stability and performance, so I’m happy to hear that it’s…

Monodraw's main selling point is that it's a fully native AppKit macOS app. If you value the experience, then you might like the app. asciiflow.com is great as well. (Monodraw deve…

The direct version is not sandboxed as I didn't want to deal with Sparkle (autoupdater) and sandboxing. The Mac App Store version is sandboxed.

Good luck with your project! The world is big enough for multiple products in the same space, no need to get discouraged.

Any time spent on copy protection is time not spent on improving the product for the paying customers. I find it unlikely that such copy protection would actually convert a non-pay…

There are no current plans but never say never (the app is 100% AppKit, so porting means a full rewrite). I wish I had the time to port it to all three desktop OSes.
