Helping nonprofit folks lead with less stress and more clarity
I’ve been looking for a good editor for Mac for a while -- one that feels native (Mac-assed) and modern. I do most of my coding in Xcode and I'm happy with it for iOS development. But there are text files and Markdown files and YAML files and other files to edit, and Xcode feels too heavy most of the time. So, nostr friends, what do you recommend?

Saw a Great Blue Heron on my walk this morning.

Euro NCAP will release new testing guidelines in 2026.
Absolutely loved Dune: Part Two. It’s a masterpiece, and I can’t wait to see it again in theaters.
Caught this one on my walk the other day. Cardinal (female)

Rewatching Dune has gotten me super excited for Part Two. Can’t wait!
A week after returning my Apple Vision Pro, I hardly miss it. The headaches weren’t worth it, but I also can’t think of anything I’d like to be doing with it.
Glad to know I’m not the only one who had to return Vision Pro due to headaches… 😕

Apple fans are starting to return their Vision Pros
That 14-day return window is fast approaching.
I’m all for signaling that something should be deleted, even when the reality is that there’s no way to guarantee that it will. It’s a way to say “I no longer believe this” or “whoops, I didn’t even mean to post this” or even, as a developer, “this was a test and doesn’t need to be here any more.”

Resubmitted my Astronomy Picture of the Day app for Apple Vision Pro just now. I added a bunch of new features, like play/pause, next, previous, and info about the photo. Hoping Apple approves this one; I'm really proud of it now.
Apple has now rejected my APOD app for visionOS twice. ☹️ Still trying to figure out how to make the app review team happy. Given infinite time and resources, I could add a lot more functionality, but I’ll have to try to figure out what I can do with the time I have.
