Just had to rewrite a bunch of the placement logic for Octavo, my PDF imposition/printing Mac app. It was a bit of a rabbit hole, there were a bunch of bugs and bad assumptions interacting together, and as soon as I wanted to place a page slot rotated 90 degrees, they all came to the surface.

Fixed and unit tested now.

As a reminder, the TestFlight beta is open: https://octavo.pro

Anyway, been using NSTableView for my #SwiftUI version of #PDXTransit since it is far more customizable and powerful than `Table`.

RE: https://wien.rocks/@noheger/115877698373215218

ugh this is one of the things that drives me most insane in #macOSTahoe. Basic desktop-isms are just so broken. I fear that more and more folks who don't understand the history of the desktop are running the show at Apple. I hope I am wrong but then what explains this mess?

Replaced the Progress Indicator in Daft Music that was originally the SwiftUI slider with a custom version that is written with CoreAnimation and is wrapped in a NSViewRepresentable. (Also, the progress is now fully animated)

CPU Usage went down while playing from 3-4% to 0%.

I'm not that person that wants Objective-C and AppKit back, but often I have to drop down to optimize for things and it's not that SwiftUI is often easier than straight Core Animation.

I've decided to take the old #Macintosh HIGs & merge them into one large collection of topics while modernizing them in the process.

The original #HIG would give actual examples w/ usable metrics & mention possible exceptions to the rule. The incredible level of detail gave developers the guidance to create delightful UI users have come to expect from their #Mac.

Here is my first topic: Layout Guidelines

⭐️ I have finally published the source repository for Coppice, @pilky's mind-mapping app, as per his final wishes.

It is provided as-is, without a license, to help prospective #AppKit developers learn from a longtime Mac developer who really sweated the details, and always went out of his way to provide help to people who needed it.
