I’ve been thinking about writing a Mac App to post entries here. The apps I’ve already written convince me that AppKit apps are much easier to write than web apps. I get that folks don’t write them because they want cross-platform apps and they cut their teeth on HTML/CSS/JS, but true Mac apps are so nice.

One issue I have is that this blog uses GraphQL as an API (to support a web app) and GraphQL isn’t all that great for simple apps like this. The results returned from a query are a bit too ad hoc for a static language like Swift.

Regardless, I got the authentication interaction working and thus have at least one successful interaction to build the rest on, so it’s just a matter of time.
