I was laid off in January and had the crazy idea to polish up a bunch of apps I'd created for myself over the years and release them all on the same day. Today is the day!
ps: I don't recommend anybody do this, it was a pretty silly idea. But I managed it, with 2 months of work and 1 month of shepherding them through the App Review process.
Love this! Don't have a Mac (yet) but I can genuinely see myself using some of these. Huge respect to shipping so many apps to the App Store successfully but also to reducing the final application size of many of these to fit into a floppy disk.
Although I am out of the macOS ecosystem now I definitely would have enjoyed some of these! Maybe I will give Mojibaker a shot since I am on iOS. Sorry to hear you were laid off and I hope these pursuits find you some success and sustaining.
Really appreciate the bloat-free "fits on a floppy" approach too. I love highly optimized and efficient things and specialized "does one thing exceedingly well" kinds of tools.
Thank you so much. Glad it resonates! Doing things this small on macOS and iOS requires a deep understanding of what the system and SDKs offer. Many years of hard work paying off.
Dude, this is impressive. Always been a dream to just pump out a few dozen utilities in quick succession - but twenty at once? Incredible. I don't use the apple ecosystem, but I know this must have been an incredible sprint.
