When we launched Tower for Mac a few years back, we didn’t have any plans for a Windows version. However as we received more and more requests from our users, we finally decided to commit to it. As we’re bootstrapped and a small team, it took us longer than expected. But now we have a 100% native app and even so it’s still in beta, we are really happy with the result. It’s also great to see that other Mac apps are making the move to Windows as well. This might also have to do with the new leadership at Microsoft and their efforts in supporting developers. So far it's been really great working with them and they've been very supportive.
Yes. As a developer who really likes Windows - I don't touch UWP apps or anything that comes from the Windows Store unless I am forced to.
I do not support Apple-style lock-down on Windows.
As a matter of fact, I am fully prepared to leave Windows if Microsoft continues to push this effort. I used to enjoy building Windows desktop apps with WinForms and then WPF, but once Windows 8 came out I saw where Microsoft was headed and I decided to focus on Web development. Now I pay my bills with Angular, Node and Ionic/Cordova/PhoneGap.
it's not my app, but I'm in their beta. With Kards you can enter things you want to remember (bookmarks, recipies, quotes, movies, books etc.) in a really simple and smart way (natural language processing). The software itself takes care of organizing these items and makes it really easy to find them again. Right now they try to find as many use cases as possible.
Yeah, this can be quite a game-changer. Initially, people always undervalue this and think it's only good when you want to work on a plane.
But being able to commit locally makes stuff faster, makes you able to test things out - and only share code when you actually want to.
Is there anything you can offer your active members as reward for sending out invites? E.g. Dropbox offers additional space for each successful invite and that helped them grow.
