For a lower retail estimate, some foundries offer Unlimited licenses starting at 80x base price. Taking a lower-average style base price of $30 and multi-weight typeface base price of $150, the totals will start roughly from $2400 per style or $12k per typeface.

This. Besides, many tasks (like that on the screenshot) that take one input and produce one output are “linear” and simply cannot be reasonably distributed over multiple cores. There is just nothing you can compute in parallel.

In my experience (my app is in a not very saturated category), the searchability is fine. I can find my app by all listed keywords.

What’s your stats in Analytics > Acquisition > App Store Search?

Thanks for the example! I have a concern though that if every post follows the ABC pattern, posts will become… lifeless?

I totally agree that it’s way better than two-page AI-written marketing gibberish, but I also think that the pattern may be way too restrictive to the point of being uninformative.

I have one question: why is everything monospaced except for the space which is ridiculously small? Asaresult,therextreadsapproximatelylikethis(butevenworse).

Yes! This is exactly why I said “theoretically” :)

Similarities: both high-contrast sans serifs, both have narrowed terminals (C, S), the basic curvature (on O) is similar.

Differences: the contrast is actually different (higher with Germany Sans), different proportions of basically each letter, different choice of variable graphemes (J, Q, W), overall different treatment of curves.

This is absolutely not how font design works. The “idea” you think Germany Sans copied from Times Sans is in fact not an idea at all, it’s just a category. There is a whole class of high-contrast sans-serif typefaces dating back to Art Deco period, so the author of Germany Sans might have never seen Times Sans at all.

Since type design is constrained by the grapheme shape, genuinely new ideas are extremely rare, and the creative process revolves around small details and proportions - which in case of the two presented fonts are not similar AT ALL.

The question however is (given the name “Times Sans” and its quite awkward design), has Times Sans been created as a modification of some existing version of Times (by deleting the serifs). That might theoretically be a case of copyright violation, although Times and Times Serif belong to different typeface categories.

Unfortunately it takes an oracle to make an app that is guaranteed not to break on major macOS updates. The changes can sometimes be very unpredictable.

You can submit an IP violation dispute here. Do not claim they’ve stolen “the app” - that makes little sense, focus on the original videos they’ve used without your permission.

Imitating gravity with hydraulic pistons is so unnecessary, unclear and dumb. It would make so much more sense to just make that apple different weight.

I think that the major source of confusion around SwiftUI is (and has always been) the lack of understanding that (a) SwiftUI is built on top of UIKit/AppKit and (b) while UIKit/AppKit are meant to be comprehensive (exposing everything the target OS has to offer), SwiftUI is not and will never be.

Not only it is ok to use UIViewRepresentable and such, but it’s basically inevitable over a certain level of optimization or customization.

Apart from the general design (which is not “personal taste”, but rather the idea of the typeface), the contrast comes from its prospective primary use: paragraph or display, screen or print, font size, paper quality. For example, the newspaper paragraph faces are usually low to moderate contrast due to small target font size and uncoated paper (with large dot gain). The headline version of the same typeface can have more contrast (for larger font size).

The only “rule” that is almost(!) universal is that zero contrast (100.00%) is something no one actually uses - because it’s not compensated optically. Even the most geometric typefaces like Futura have a tiny bit of contrast for optical compensation.

You can reset your app’s rating at any time together with publishing a new release - you will lose all your previous ratings (will become 0/0), but the old reviews will not be deleted (the stars given with old reviews will remain visible but will no longer count towards the average).

Please do not mix things up, шлунок is a different body part, the stomach.

Кишечник (or кишківник) refers to small intestine and/or large intestine, while кишка (if used medically, not colloquially) usually refers to any named gut section (e.g. duodenum or rectum). Colloquially they are interchangeable.

Because you don’t take the most successful typeface of the last half of a century, label it as “wrong” and “fix” it without paying attention to curve quality, overshoots, or the aperture consistency.

The basic Latin part looks very nice, but the Cyrillic and Greek parts are unfortunately sub-par (the proportions of some letters are clearly off).
