I’ve gotten Arborist to the point of being feature complete! I’m working this week on some polish and marketing with the plan of launching next Monday, July 20.

\n

I’m super excited to get this app off the ground. Sign up at taphouse.io/arborist to be notified when it goes live!

I got inspired by the discussion about Squircle Jail and decided to bundle a squircle-free icon with Arborist, because why shouldn’t users be able to have some fun with a git worktree app? 😎

Made good progress tweaking the Arborist UI, which now has a bottom status bar, and I just spent some time on the sidebar. I had been using a SwiftUI List view but that wasn’t working exactly like I wanted so I swapped it out with an AppKit NSOutlineView. I think this is a very nice improvement.

I’ve been working on the teaching improvements in Arborist to guide new users to how to set things up and I’d played with TipKit a little bit on iOS but didn’t realize it was on macOS too. I think this provides a nice touch without being too intrusive.

I had an animation issue in Arborist that I was fighting, and the new Broadcast library from @mergesort@macaw.social came to the rescue and I was able to fix it really quickly thanks to some well placed logging statements.

The response to my Arborist announcement has been fantastic! I’ve got a few more things to polish up before I release it. My hope is the 2nd or 3rd week of July to launch it. I’ll be sharing more about the process of building Arborist as I approach the finish line!

We had to say goodbye to our sweet kitty Molly today. She’d been with us 14 years (adopted on 1/1/2012). Before we had kids, before I found my career, before we bought our house.

Life without her is going to be less snuggly, and we will miss her deeply.
