Public posts, profiles, and collections on Marked Share now get their own share card. Paste a link into Mastodon, Slack, iMessage, or a blog comment and you should see the title, byline, and date on a Marked-colored card instead of the generic site image.

I built a little Conway’s Game of Life toy for myself, mostly because I wanted something calm and oddly hypnotic on my phone and Watch. Somewhere along the way I named it GoLlyGee, shrugged, and thought: what the heck, put it on the App Store for $0.99.

Busy day on Marked Share. A pile of rendering fixes landed with Apex 1.0.20, front matter stopped leaking into the page, Mermaid diagrams and MathJax math finally draw, and highlights can now turn out a shareable quote card. Here’s the tour.

I write a lot of scripts that grab screenshots with , fire CleanShot X’s URL handler, or shove rectangles into AppleScript window frames. The annoying part has never been the capture itself — it’s getting the exact coordinates for the region I care about. I’ve eyeballed them, measured with Digital Color Meter, typed numbers into a calculator, and still gotten them wrong more often than I’d like.

Publishing and sharing Markdown on the web has always felt a little disjointed. Sometimes you just want to send a formatted document to a client or colleague and let them leave highlights and notes without setting up accounts, shuffling files back and forth, or setting up a GitHub repo.

TerminalWidget is built to turn your desktop and mobile widgets into versatile, programmable displays for whatever data you care about. Over the last few updates, I’ve added some fun new visual capabilities like multi-series charts, pie charts, and centered tables. But even the slickest widget is only as good as the script feeding it, and when something goes wrong with a background task or an image fetch, tracking down why a widget didn’t update can feel like hunting ghosts.

I recently updated my PopClip extensions collection to use a lot more TypeScript and a lot less Ruby and Python, making extensions faster, easier to sign, and far less reliant on the user having certain processors installed. I also switched the majority of ones that relied on modifier keys to use the new submenu feature. And now there’s an easier way to share them.

Recently, Dr. Drang submitted a “planets” recipe for TerminalWidget that shows the locations of planets in the night sky. It was a great use of a medium widget format, and did the trick nicely. But some recent updates to TerminalWidget offered some new display possibilities.
