Goodbye, Tectra Auto Clicker 4/21/2020   I had a hard time creating this post. However, I think that it’s for the best I go through with this. I have decided to discontinue the Tectra Auto Clicker. ​ How come? Well, it’s pretty clear that the Tectra Auto Clicker is long past its prime. It lacks features, has a number of annoying quirks, and its code is quite messy. I am aware that these issues could be fixed in an update, but I don’t really see the point. Of all the projects I have, the Tectra Auto Clicker is probably the least exciting to me. With that being said, I still have a lot of nostalgia for my little auto clicker. In a way, it was kind of the first modern Tectra program. After several months of inactivity, it was the first program I wrote for Windows in 2019. Following its release, I was motivated to work on Tectra once again. I would later create Lynx, ClipIMG, and many other programs that are still available today. For these reasons, I'm glad I created my little auto cl...

PodStream is here! 4/20/2020   Greetings, everyone! Today, I have some very exciting news. PodStream has been released! This is a program that lets you use some of your old iPod's features that are no longer supported in iTunes, such as contacts and calendars. PodStream makes it easy to do all of these things and more! The Creation I love iPods. When I was in fifth grade, my father gave me an iPod 5g Video, iPod Classic 7th generation, and iPod Touch 4th generation. When I received these devices, I was amazed by just how cool they were. I used these iPods very frequently over the next few years. As a result, they quickly became some of my favorite devices of all time. However, I eventually lost interest in them, as my iPod 5g Video and Classic both eventually broke. However, I started getting interested in iPods again when I discovered a YouTuber named  DankPods . He inspired me to fix my old iPod 5g Video and to buy an iPod Nano 5th generation. As I experimented with these de...

2 small updates in 1 day! 4/10/2020   Hello, everyone! I am excited to announce that I have released an update for two of my programs today!

ComplimentMe just got a new update! 4/9/2020   Greetings, everyone! I have some exciting news for those of you who like Star Trek. I have added a Klingon compliment list to ComplimentMe! This list has also been added to the  Wear OS  version of ComplimentMe. Even if you're not a Trekkie, I have some good news! The Android version of ComplimentMe can now read compliments aloud via text to speech. Neat! If you want to try out the new version of ComplimentMe, you can get it on  Google Play . Enjoy!

An update on things... 4/8/2020   Greetings, everyone! You may have noticed that Tectra hasn’t been very active lately. This is partly because I have started working on a new program for Windows called PodStream. It is a very cool project, but it is also very time-consuming to write. If you’re interested in learning more about PodStream, you should check out  this Tweet . I am also in the process of updating ComplimentMe. I am currently waiting for the update to be reviewed and approved by the Google Play team. Problem is, COVID-19 has caused review times to be a lot longer than usual, due to adjusted work schedules at Google. I’ll write a new post when the next version of ComplimentMe is approved and published to Google Play. I apologize for Tectra’s inactivity. However, I have a feeling that things will start to pick up again shortly. Stay tuned for more updates!
