Comment on Mac apps are harder than iOS apps

Comments

Good read. I like the examples. I have been thinking about writing some Mac Apps. This made me rethink it. :)

Yeah I remember trying to emulate ios style scrollbars before they were added to OSX. Yeah not so fun. Now if I had to make a Mac App I'd look into using https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit

Do you really care about customized UI so much that you'd rather ship a WebKit view than not have any?

That's not the concern any more, it's just a fun and different way to make an app. Im a web guy so its familiar territory and will be portable to other platforms.

Ah go for it, it's still fun

I too have been thinking about writing some Mac Apps, as a way to learn ObjectiveC - with an intention to move to iPhone apps afterwards. This article has made me reconsider that ordering!

I would start iOS. I started there and it has been great.
