I suppose what the GP meant is that Apple, even if using Marzipan, was in power to do the job properly, from menubar to titlebar to modals and set a standard for developers to follow, instead of going the lazy route and have what appears to be mere containers of an iOS experience with only slight touches of macOS. It really does make me think of Electron, with foreign conventions held within a window and tentacles reaching out to some APIs like menubar and notifications.
- scarface74 8y agoThey basically said at WWDC that Marzipan is still a work in progress. They haven’t even promised a date when it would be released. Isn’t it better to release early and often and get feedback? It’s basically a “technology preview”. It would be much worse if they thought they were releasing a fully baked framework in a year, tied down the APIs and be stuck with something that got negative feedback. It’s strange that a forum that usually supports “development in the open” is now criticizing Apple for doing just that.
