HN discussion> Nowadays native apps on Mac are dead. I know you’re saying that in a subjective way, and definitely the percentage of non-Cocoa apps have gone up, but I’m not sure if they’re dead. In fact, I feel that they are thriving once again in 2020 — a lot of indie devs that care about making Mac-assed Mac apps[0] are present and are releasing great apps and replacing ones that were filled with Electron. Some examples that…

HN discussionMakes sense! The image we're referring to is the one for the "Built for macOS" section, not the full screenshot at the top of the page. That one doesn't have a cursor in it. https://www.chimehq.com/assets/images/built-for-macos.png

Things like authentication, file sync and badging in the Finder, Xcode text editors, or Final Cut Pro editing extensions.

HN discussionIt's funny to see one arguing that Rust programs will be higher quality... in the GUI space. The AreWeGUIYet[0] website shows clearly that a GUI editor written in Rust won't cut. I'd rather argue that editors written in the platform-native language (e.g. ObjC/Swift on macOS) will result in higher quality editors. If the author is viewing this comment, I'd recommend BBEdit[1], a solid & classic option. Other options…
