This makes me feel rickrolled. I clicked and only see a Mac version download link. The title should mention the platform if it's single-platform.
In fact I even have a Mac but it's High Sierra and I'm not updating to Big Sur with all the questionable changes just to try a new browser.
- sauravmitra 5y agoOh, sorry about that! Hopefully you give it a try when you update eventually :)
- qwerty456127 5y agoI will. Thank you for doing a great job anyway. I don't actually feel angry or demand anything from you, although I might sound this way. I just expressed my thoughts which many people obviously share. May I, however, ask if there is a serious reason to require Big Sur instead of supporting Catalina, Mojave and High Sierra also? I understand you probably don't want to waste resources on actually supporting them but perhaps you could just build against them and let users use it on their own risk?
- sauravmitra 5y agoWe're using SwiftUI and WebKit features that were added quite recently (MacOS doesn't get nearly as much love from Apple as iOS). This keeps our product iteration cycle quite high, and the worry is having to implement cumbersome solutions if supporting previous OSs. I'll have to look into it again to see if I can go back just a bit maybe and assess how much time it would take to support those versions. We're a pretty small team :)
- qwerty456127 5y agoI see. Thank you for your time.
- oidar 5y agoI would have lobed to try this out as well, but I'm stuck in 32 bit land for the foreseeable future - so I am staying with Mojave.
- sauravmitra 5y agoAh, what a shame. Hopefully I figure out a workaround to support Mojave :D
- sauravmitra 5y agoChanged the title!
- qwerty456127 5y agoI can speculate this can actually attract even more of the target audience to you. Mac people probably feel more enthusiastic about Mac-specific software announcements and are steadier to go and take a look at something Mac-specific than at yet another generic browser. And for the conversion rate - this probably even is a serious boost.
- sauravmitra 5y agoWe have been getting slightly more constructive comments since changing the title, so thanks :D
- freediver 5y agoAnd those enthusiastic about Mac, also care about things like how 'macOS' is written. Attention to detail matters and shows your own level of dilligence.
- sauravmitra 5y agoInteresting. I typically write it as macOS in conversation, but wasn't aware it was seen as correct to capitalise the M. Thanks!
