@twostraws You don’t need xcproj files anymore for Mac platform. Nor Xcode for that matter.

It is:
a) Less than half the size of the old plist format.
b) Pretty printed, so easy to read and edit by a human or agent.
c) Plain JSON, so can be validated trivially.
d) Compatible with Xcode 27.0.
Best of all, converting takes literally two mouse clicks. 10/10, no notes 🙌 h

I'm doing some research on App Store keywords and could use some help. If you have a moment, please (anonymously!) add your app's App Store keywords here: https://t.co/jL2EZYHVoN – don't post the app's name or URL; I don't want to know. Just some of the keywords you care about.

Protocols with Self or associated type requirements used to be restricted from use as existential types. That restriction is lifted, so any Equatable and similar are now valid where they previously were not. https://t.co/9TvGD4L7Do

@twostraws You can use Astra from within the CC cli if you insist, but really you're missing out by not using the Codex desktop app. It gives Astra superpowers (computer use, sub-agent management, voice, non-blocking context gathering questions, ...)

I just don't see them as comparable, tbh. I usually have three terminal windows open, one per project. Each window has 2-4 tabs working on different parts of the project, plus usually another tab for git, SSH, or similar tools. It's absurdly efficient in both time and CPU/RAM.

It's possible these options are hidden somewhere in the myriad of configuration settings, in which case let me know how to get them! I'm just glad both Astra and Sol figured out how to make their really irritating permissions system better; Claude's Auto is excellent at this.

Astra beats Sol, that's for sure, but Codex still has a way to go to catch up with Claude on the CLI. I can see they are trying – the new recaps are most welcome! – but I wish they would ̶s̶t̶e̶a̶l̶ "be inspired by" Claude's subagent management and sticky prompt headers too.

@twostraws I love it 😍 Just changed the pricing of my apps in every region based on purchasing power in that region and it took only minutes. Lot’s of other nice stuff to explore as well. Great work on Kickstart 🙌

My new Mac app is out today! It's called Kickstart, and it has just one job: helping indie app developers make more money on the App Store. It is *packed* with features, many of which are completely free. Get it here: https://t.co/goZKtAPPuW
