Having a design system is like having a super power. It takes away all the small decisions you have to make about a design and lets you focus on the higher level goals you have for your design. But creating a design system is a labour intensive process usually only worth it for product teams at large companies or startups.
Starting with MacOS 10.14.5, all signed applications by ‘new’ developers will need to be notarized or they will trigger Apple’s Gatekeeper software and prevent users from installing your app. That means that aside from signing your application, you will need to notarize it as well. This is how to successfully notarize your Electron application.
Polypane is out today! Polypane is a browser for developers, designers and everyone else that creates websites and webapps. This release has been a long time in the making, and has taken a lot of hard work in the past months to get this release out the door. I am incredibly proud of the app I’ll be sharing with all of you today.
In a few weeks, Polypane version 1.0 will be released. In these past few months I’ve been hard at work getting everything ready for that release.
The process has very little to do with the app itself and much more with creating the infrastructure around it. I thought it would be interesting to go through this to show you what it takes.
I want to tell you about my new company Firstversionist. But to do that, I also need to tell you a little more about me.
