I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Try turning a patch of the garden into the same symbol!

I am glad it's being useful. :)

I used AppleScript for the first two years of this app as well (Can't believe it's been 7 years since I started it). But it's hard to handle complex programs, and handing off data to Swift or Objective-C from AppleScript. So I switched to [ScriptingBridge](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/scriptingbridge). It provides better Objective-C APIs to handle Apple Events.

+1 to a vacation. And after that rather than going after what's in demand/hype right now, go after something that you want to use and isn't available in the market, and try to build that. I have found building tools for myself that I and a bunch of other people love to use as one of the most rewarding/fulfilling work.

Not a technical skill, but in the self improvement genre - Colin Murray’s channel https://m.youtube.com/@colinmurrayYT/videos is great for people who like exercising from home, without investing a lot in equipments and weight. Has helped me exercise more regularly compared to past years.

And then for one of my hobbies https://m.youtube.com/@idaemonplasmo for building better model kit aircrafts.

Not sure if they are masters of their craft, but they make their craft more accessible/enjoyable for me.

Sure. Added the description. As far as development goes, this was kind of a personal challenge after reading all the documentation on NSTextView and its layout system. And as for the pricing model, the free version limits you to 250 words per document. And you can remove the 250 words per document limit via an inApp purchase.

Received this question a couple of times, about the app being native or not, so clarifying it. The only web view based component in the app is the preview, everything else is made of basic native elements, & the whole app is coded in swift. I think the doubt rose from the point that you could theme it with hex-color codes. But how that works is that, whenever you change the theme, the app reads the light / dark plist files and assigns color to app components after converting the hex-colors to NSColors. I hope this resolves the doubt.

I am not going to present my answer as my ideal utopia but rather as a suggestion. You should try one of these things

1. Go Indie

2. Join a startup

These both options have cultural parameters that are weighing in exactly opposite direction to that of a major-corp. Doing this will help you learn about your own definition of an ideal utopia for a workplace. Having experienced both the cultures you'll be able to decide your ideal utopia - what team size you like to work with, at what pace, at what degree of freedom, in a flat hierarchy or well structured one, remotely or inside an office surrounded by colleagues and so on. I hope this helps in finding your ideal workplace. Good Luck :)
