FoldingText 3

Over the summer Jesse announced a free download of a bugfix version of the app and was surprisingly bullish on the apps resuscitation. (This after palming it off to Mutahhir in 2018 whereupon development stalled and he took back ownership.)

I just noticed that Jesse edited his post a couple of weeks ago to note that he sold the app again to another dev (no name, no intro from the new dev, no news on the app’s future), and expressed relief that it “Gets me a little closer time wise to public start of my next app.”

So, I guess one could try to be hopeful about FoldingText, but after passing it around, then taking it back and and doing nothing to it for years, only to be sold to an unknown dev with no follow-up to users or potential users, does not augur well.

And given how little has been done with TaskPaper over the years (which I own) I’m not exactly counting the days until Jesse’s “next app” is released.
