Singapore Buses — Over 1,000 Downloads

According to App Store Connect, Singapore Buses crossed the 1,000 downloads barrier a few days ago. It took just over three and a half months to reach that number. It’s been used almost 13,000 times and has an average 4.7⭐️ rating across stores! Not too bad, considering I had no targets in mind!

Next up: a widget, Spotlight integration, and push notifications.

NetNewsWire has a few releases cooking in the oven.

NetNewsWire 6.1

6.1 is not far away^[1]. The main course for this release is the (re)introduction of Themes to NetNewsWire. These allow users to change the look-and-feel of articles while allowing developers to create and distribute their own themes.

There will be a selection of themes included with NetNewsWire, and it’s straightforward to install new themes. Indeed, before 6.1 is even out, @SherlockHans has a Themes site up and running. 👍

(I'll admit, I was a bit sceptical about the Themes feature, but once Maurice said it was available, I immediately saw the value and fun!)

NetNewsWire 6.2

This release is further down the line and has so far focussed on some house-keeping on iOS^[2]:

• the iOS 15 look-and-feel has been applied to toolbars, navigation bars, and the feed list/sidebar
• we've introduced a New Articles notification manager in Settings^[3] which puts all management of notifications in one place

There's lots going on.
