Great to hear you liked Tower for Mac! If you ping our support, we can track it as a request. Alternatively you can sign up for our newsletter.
pointnova··on Tower for Windows
That's correct. Tower Mac and Tower Windows are completely separate apps. 100% native technologies.
pointnova··on Tower for Windows
Hi, I’m part of the team. We started with a Mac version in 2011 and based on the requests we received from our users decided to start working on a Windows version. Even so we don’t have plans for a Linux version right now, we’ll keep tracking the feedback.

no, it's a WPF desktop app
pointnova··on Tower for Windows beta
When we launched Tower for Mac a few years back, we didn’t have any plans for a Windows version. However as we received more and more requests from our users, we finally decided to commit to it. As we’re bootstrapped and a small team, it took us longer than expected. But now we have a 100% native app and even so it’s still in beta, we are really happy with the result. It’s also great to see that other Mac apps are making the move to Windows as well. This might also have to do with the new leadership at Microsoft and their efforts in supporting developers. So far it's been really great working with them and they've been very supportive.

Thank you for this link. I wasn't aware that there are still several "uncontacted" tribes, especially in South America. Fascinating.

it's not my app, but I'm in their beta. With Kards you can enter things you want to remember (bookmarks, recipies, quotes, movies, books etc.) in a really simple and smart way (natural language processing). The software itself takes care of organizing these items and makes it really easy to find them again. Right now they try to find as many use cases as possible.

That's great to hear. I just started reading it last night and really like it so far.
pointnova··on Git is Not a New Subversion
Yeah, this can be quite a game-changer. Initially, people always undervalue this and think it's only good when you want to work on a plane. But being able to commit locally makes stuff faster, makes you able to test things out - and only share code when you actually want to.
pointnova··on Introducing Git Submodules in Tower
Post about how Git submodules work, which problems can occur and how to manage them with a Git client like Tower.
pointnova··on How do I grow an invitation only site?
Is there anything you can offer your active members as reward for sending out invites? E.g. Dropbox offers additional space for each successful invite and that helped them grow.
