  • Remove Electron wrapper apps

    Remove Electron wrapper apps

    To discuss the merits of those applications despite the fact that they are basically web apps.

    Seeing the final list of removals, I'd vote to just merge the whole PR, thereby extinguishing all traces of Electron and Chromium wrappers. Contrary to my former statement that Atom should be included, I feel that the performance gain alone of native apps like Sublime Text or even Vim justify that. In my view, none of the apps in this pull request are outstanding applications without equal or better native alternatives. Case in point: Caret vs. Typora, Atom vs. Sublime Text.

    Still, I'm quite surprised to see practically all so-called "modern" editors are built using Electron. I understand the popularity and appeal. However, on a macOS awesome list, none of those should have a place.

    Having said that, I would of course be open to also remove any cross-platform applications with no clean implementation of the Apple Human Interface Guidelines, meaning: which may be free but look like crap.

  • I'd like to make a front-end page for this page.

    I'd like to make a front-end page for this page.

    The address could be simply awesome-osx.github.io or something like that whatever the repo owner decides to.

    The website can be a Bootstrap single page with Jumbotron for header,

    and multiple table rows and columns consists of each product. Once user clicks, it will show a modal so the user can stick with the same page.

    I have my portfolio website (still under development :p ) at http://saehunseanoh.me and it will look similar to Project section.

    anyone interested? then I'll start it from today.

  • Suggestion: changelog, release, notification

    Suggestion: changelog, release, notification

    Hi there, please consider adding a chronological 'changelog' once every few months and creating a Release.

    It's way easier and more accessible than going through the commit history to see recent additions :) Also, people can then "Watch -> Custom -> Releases" to automatically get notified once every few months when new additions have been made :)

    Maybe something like this, you get the idea...: https://github.com/notDavid/awesome-macOS/releases

  • Indication if the item is open-source

    Indication if the item is open-source

    I thought it would be nice to have some kind of indication if a listed item is OSS (which is very important to some users).

    I've put up a branch where open-source items are flagged with the OSI logo (the choice of logo is purely out of laziness). Thoughts?

  • Add Iconology
