The video is awesome! I didn't know that is possible to make a preview video in Loom. So much fun!)))

react native + catalyst[1] would be best for you — to prepare for the future and be multi-platform, which is what we'll be releasing in my team[2] in the next few weeks. [1] https://github.com/react-native-community/discussions-and-pr... [2] https://standups.io
I'll check 'react native + catalyst' out thanks. For now, I'm just planning to do another tiny native app for Win. Thanks!
No worries! You can basically have a native macOS app using JS — without using Swift, with the potential of having native mobile apps and web apps (react-native-web, which is what Twitter is using these days), all using the same JS codebase — over 90% code share. Happy to chat anytime. :)

#24Any particular reason why this isn't notarised? I realise it's another hoop to jump through (and an annual fee for Apple's developer program), but given that I'm going to connect this thing to my Stripe account it would be nice if it didn't feel like it was avoiding (minimal! easy!) security checks.
For that matter, it's also slightly misleading that you don't call it out as Catalina-only. I'd love to use it (to wit, I've just paid you for it!) but I'm sure there are still lots of folks putting off the upgrade to Catalina.
(Indie game devs especially, since Steam's upload tools are 32-bit).

Me too, although currently the lowest resolution of reports from Apple via the API is daily sales, no way to get last 24 hours at the moment (which I would be most interested in).
Don't AppAnnie do that?
AppAnnie doesn’t have a special agreement with Apple. all they do is guesstimate revenue figures based on downloads/rankings.

is there windows sys tray equivalent? (or taskbar)

Or anyone using Windows software through Wine/Crossover - since Crossover only announced support for Catalina yesterday.

#28My first thought was "oh, this will contribute to already high anxiety levels", mostly because I remember how I reacted to MRR changes:
- MRR went up a bit: "Great, we're on track"
- MRR went down a bit: "THE END IS NEAR!!!!"
At some point, I understood that it was Loss Aversion Bias [1] at play. Once I reframed MRR movements as something fluctuating and neutral, it lost all anxiety-inducing powers.
So this might actually be fairly neat if the business owner has a reasonable approach to this metric.

Came here to say the same thing. The installation b/s gives me the impression this developer doesn’t take releasing MacOS software serious enough to trust them with running code on my machine, let alone having access to highly secure things like payment gateway auth tokens.

#30Would be very useful if the website had even a single screenshot that clearly showed the app experience. Yes I know there’s a video (and a rather crude clip of a screenshot at the very bottom of the page), but nothing that clearly just shows what the app looks like easily. As the author, I’d assume it shouldn’t be too hard to mock it out with dummy data rather than blurring out details. If there’s any motion, a gif would be ok, but clearly showing a screenshot with what the menu bar experience looks like would go a long way imho.
