  • getstreamline

    Streamline is a stream-of-consciousness writer for Obsidian

    • No need for Obsidian per se. You can test it with any folder containing one or more markdown (.md) file.

    If you want, I've created the release with .zip and .dmg here: https://github.com/akaalias/getstreamline/releases/tag/v3.5....

    I've added screenshots of what it should look like for reference.

    Will do a test as soon as I can get another test-naïve test machine :D

  • Touch-Tab

    Switch apps with trackpad on macOS.

    • Right-click, Open, Open should work for ad-hoc signed apps as others mentioned.

    I've made my very first MacOS app and people didn't complain installing it. It's https://github.com/ris58h/Touch-Tab BTW.

  • Streamline

    Streamline is a stream-of-consciousness writer for Obsidian (by akaalias)

    • Oh, this is not awkward at all - You are spending your time on this with me. So I appreciate your questions and input very much!

    From 3.5.2 to 3.5.3 I _did_ remove image assets from a view[^1], so the app contents are not the same. The change was removing images from a view.

    I have an idea: I'll bump the version to 3.5.4 without changing anything else, and create a release with both, .zip and .dmg to compare them.

    Ideally, I'd use a completely new Mac to...

    - first install and run the app from .zip, expecting the app to be shadow-banned

    - secondly install and run the app from .dmg, expecting the app to work
