A few days ago, I revealed that I was working on a new desktop editor for Lynx. The Windows editor was really starting to show its age, and I thought that an updated version of Lynx could be a great idea for my first Electron app. So, that led me to create Lynx Desktop Nova!  Lynx Desktop Nova for Windows What's new? This version of Lynx adds a ton of exciting new features, such as undo/redo buttons, the ability to hide the log, inserting images, and more! I already covered a lot of the new features in my previous post, so you can read more about them there. Neat! Is it coming to macOS and Linux? I hope to release Nova for macOS and Linux eventually. However, I'm mainly going to be focusing on the Windows version for now, as I want to iron out some of the bugs before I start releasing it on more platforms. What about the Lynx Online Editor? I hope to replace the current online editor with the Nova editor pretty soon! Like I said before, I just want to make I've fixed most of Nova's major bugs and annoyances before I start releasing it for other platforms than Windows. Thankfully, because I used Electron to make the new editor, it should be pretty easy to replace the current online editor with the Nova editor when the time comes! Anyway, I hope that clears up some of the questions you may have about the new version of Lynx, and I hope you're excited to try it out! Lynx Desktop Nova is now available for download on the all-new Lynx page. Enjoy! |
About a year ago, I reviewed the 2014 Mac mini on this blog. Ultimately, I came to the conclusion that it was still an excellent machine for productivity tasks, but it could also handle some more intense things you threw at it. Thus, it became my daily driver up until I upgraded to a 2017 MacBook Air a few months ago. That being said, I’ve still been using it some, so I thought I’d briefly share how it’s holding up these days. Here are my thoughts on this miniature Macintosh one year later! Performance Over the last year, I’ve been impressed by how much this Mac can handle. It’s rocking a 2.6 GHz dual-core Core i5 with 8 GB of RAM and a Samsung 860 Evo 1 TB SATA SSD. What all that jargon essentially means is that it’s a moderately powerful little computer, although it certainly isn’t going to put newer Macs to shame. Regardless, I’ve been able to do lots of coding, video editing, and schoolwork on this computer, and it has generally worked pretty well. Granted, it can take a while...
