Much of my life can be measured by domain registration dates and renewals.
If that hits too close to home… well… then you know what I’m talking about.
A Year’s Work
MNML: Featured Worldwide
Yesterday I quietly launched MNML App to the Mac App Store and it was featured in the main carousel worldwide!
Check it out:
mnml app: Almost Done
Just a few missing (but important) pieces to put together before this one will be done and shipped and out in the wild.
Why mnml app?
As many of you know, I just released the very large and significant update to Desk App, now version 3.
There’s already been a lot of neat attention being brought to it (Featured Worldwide) and I’m incredibly grateful for it all since it’s mostly because we’ve got a pretty smashing community around it.
mnml app: No Drop Cap… For Now.
I really love decorative initials, also known as “drop cap” in other writing parlance and Medium.com clearly allows this type of ornamentation in their native editor.
Clearly, I wanted to have this type of experience in my new native macOS writing app, mnml. Sadly, this doesn’t appear to be possible (at least for now):
Limitations of the Medium API
I’m putting the final pieces together for the first release of mnml app, a native macOS writing client for Medium.com and things are moving a bit slower than I had originally planned.
This is fine because I’m under no pressure to release and the pace at which I’m working at matches all the extra time that I have (which isn’t much, tbh). You can blame this project. :P
First Look: mnml App
Here are a few screenshots of the upcoming mnml App, a macOS writing and publishing app for Medium.com.
I’ve already shared a few posts about the progression of this app which you can, of course, follow via the category.
mnml Logo Designs
2 months ago I shared that I’ve started putting together a dedicated Medium.com macOS app, called mnml.
I’ve been silently working on it and I’m getting very close to putting the final touches on it. But, first I’d love to get your feedback on some of the logo and brand icon designs that I’ve put together:
TLD’s / URLs To Avoid for Medium Publications
I’m putting together a new Medium Publication for my “Medium + macOS” project, codename mnml, and I was very excited to create a custom domain for the blog.
This is natural as I’m building a native desktop client for Medium…! Sadly, I was told that the TLD (“Top Level Domain”) that I’m using is not compatible with their SSL partner, Comodo (I believe I got this right).
Ugh.

macOS + Medium.com?
Love Medium.com? Yeah. So do I.
In fact, one of my projects has used Medium.com as the primary blog and communication channel for the entire project (you can see that here) and I also have been cross-posting blog posts here on my personal blog to my Medium account (you can follow and subscribe here).
