I made a quick PopClip extension today for adding hard line wrapping to blocks of text. In general I’m a fan of letting text wrap automatically, but when I’m coding I prefer hard line breaks at 70-80 columns. Easy to do in almost any decent text editor, but elsewhere (ahem, Xcode) I wanted a fast way to do it.

Thanks to TextExpander for sponsoring BrettTerpstra.com this week! I’m a huge fan, and my life without TextExpander would be very tedious, indeed.

I did a little more weekend work on Bunch, and I’ll probably post an update on some exciting new stuff soon. I’d love it if you helped test by downloading the beta version and checking the changelog to see what’s up. Anyway, that’s not the point of this post.

Thanks to Unite 4 from BZG for sponsoring BrettTerpstra.com this week! I’d been missing a good, modern app for making Single Site Browsers, and Unite came to the rescue. I highly recommend it!

Are you ready? I kinda went down a rabbit hole with Bunch this last week. It’s a lot. Because this release is so big, I’m releasing it as a beta first. All of the documentation for the new version is at brettterpstra.com/bunch-beta/docs, and the download link can be found at brettterpstra.com/bunch-beta/download.

Ok, one more batch of updates for Bunch. It’s just so much fun to work on that I spent last weekend on it. Don’t worry, nvUltra is getting an equal amount of love.

I wrote back in November that Marked had an incompatibility with Big Sur that was causing the PDFs it generated to come out as raster images, rather than as vector-based text that would be scalable and selectable. I’m happy to report that Apple has fixed this issue on their end and it’s now 100% safe to use Marked 2 on Big Sur.

I’m usually a good sport about macOS updates. I find stuff to like, and deal with the bugs as they get worked out. I’m not feeling as generous about Big Sur. Among many annoyances I have is a relatively (well, very) small one: Apple hid the proxy icon behind a rollover with a delay in Finder.
