Very nice. Commenting from it right now.

First feature request from me would be to adjust text size. I've start bumping up the default text size on all sites by one or two notches in the past year. Getting old, y'know. But also, as someone pointed out on a design blogpost a decade ago, why not make things easier to read. I didnt need it then, but I appreciate it now.

Really happy that I can run this on MacOS14 cause I've been locked out of some neat things people have built recently. Thanks for targetting older OSes. I'm not upgrading to the crap they've been putting out lately.

I'll be able to read details more later (getting ready for the job). Hope I didn't miss anything and comment about something that was already addressed. Congrats on shipping!

Just pushed an update allowing users to adjust text size

I was able to run the app on MacOS 14, but I can't update (Hacker News menu > Check for updates…) without MacOS 15. "Your macOS version is too old" message. I praised building for older versions of MacOS in my feedback and now I'm gated from using the latest version?

Please build for those of us who don't want the slop Apple is pushing. Pretty cool that you responded and added text sizing, would love to have it. Cheers!

I've been doing this too; at some point I should probably just change the scaling of my desktop as a whole. But I like my high resolution, multiple windows layout too much to do it yet!

There's always a compromise for me when adjusting scaling. UI doesn't scale correctly, bars get too big when I only want the text specifically to be increased, etc. I've settled on adjusting the text manually because at least that's user-adjustable.

Hey thank you! I will make sure to tackle text size in the next release.
