rjstelling··on Suitcase: A macOS tool for deploying GUIs for simple commands and scripts
Please open an issue, I'd love to hash out what that might look like.

Thanks for this. My plan is to open source it eventually, but I just ran out of time to get it into shape for launch day. I've removed the PR comment so as not to confuse any more people.

Thanks for the feedback, I've improved the Readme file and broken it into several pages.

I'm also going to add shorter videos at the top.

It's not open source yet, but I am planning on making it so. Watch this space. In the mean time I'm open to feedback and bug reports via GitHub issues.

Once SwiftUI is available on Linux, Suitcase will "just work". But don't hold your breath.
rjstelling··on Replace the App Store
Show me some (any) evidence the iPhone is dead or even dying?
rjstelling··on iOS Support Matrix - Autumn, 2012
There was an error, iPhone 4 was listed as not having a retina display. But I've fixed it now.
rjstelling··on The Jack-of-all-trades Fallacy
I'd argue for a management, design or testing roll specialising in "mobile development" is fine, even a benefit.

But for developers it makes no sense, an average Android developer makes a terrible iOS developer and vice versa.

A 100% iOS dev is going to be 50% better (at least) than one that splits their time between 2 (or 3) platforms.

rjstelling··on The iOS devices you should support
I'm sourcing some stats to add this, but up-to-date reliable iOS stats are as easy to find as unicorn tears.
rjstelling··on The iOS devices you should support
I hear you, draft 2 coming up!
rjstelling··on The iOS devices you should support
Great point, I'll start to jot down my reasons. But mainly fall into two categories; features and cost/benefit.

For example every ~6 weeks Apple sell more iPhone 4S than total number of iOS 4 devices still in use.

rjstelling··on Securing the .app gTLD for the mobile app software development community
Kickstarter refused to host it because the target was so high.
