Transmit 5 Missing Skip Feature Workaround
Transmit 5 was released back in mid July. I picked it up right away, not only for the initial launch discount, but because Transmit has been my transfer tool of choice for years. I was psyched to see it get a huge update. Where’s the skip? For some reason, this hasn’t come up until recently,…

Read MoreAdobe Illustrator Turns 30
Like many of my peers, I’ve had a love/hate relationship with Adobe in recent years. Yes their software is a staple in my toolkit, but as the pricing has gone up, so has my frustration.

Jetpack released a new React powered interface in version 4.3, released on September 8th of this year. They worked very hard on it for over a year and are clearly very proud of it. While I can agree that the interface looks nice and clean, there were a few things that I was disappointed with…
Read MoreFrom MAMP to Vagrant and Back Again
One of the most rewarding things about web development is that it’s always changing. New code specifications, design trends, device capabilities, programming languages, API integrations… Wait, did I say rewarding? Yes, it can be overwhelming, but for me it is also rewarding. Especially learning new development tools. Like a lot of folks, a few years…

I’ve been using Tweetbot for a few years now and it’s still my go to Twitter app on the Mac as well as iOS. I’ve noticed the following issue for a while now but only recently started to look into it. Here’s a quick screen recording of what I’ve been experiencing: Basically, the filter search…
