Before Mojave, if you wanted to keep an eye on newly released software in the Mac App Store, you could choose a category, such as “Productivity”, and see all the corresponding apps sorted by date released, making it easy to note newly released software. In Mojave, as far as I can tell, this is no longer possible. Indeed, there appears to be no way to view newly released apps. The Mac App Store has been made to resemble the iOS App Store, and has thereby lost some significant functionality. On a computer running an older version of macOS, it appears that one can still view newly released apps as before.

I think most of those features (all?) are still there in the new App Store for Mojave. In the right sidebar there’s a choice of broad categories, and under the “Categories” see “Productivity”. Or we can search for “Productivity” in the search box and then set the Filter “Sort by Release Date”. Under which I just happened to notice the top item is an interesting app called “Sunset Micro Journal” that will be released on October 18 2018.

Onward, CRIMP!!

Thank you, Paul. I stand corrected! Onward…

On a side note, I’ve been disappointed in the speed of my iMac over recent months. It responded so slowly to my trackpad I set it aside.
There are known issues with bluetooth interference that can cause trouble, and I figured I was seeing some of that. Maybe.
After the upgrade to Mojave, by iMac is back up for full speed. That could be because Mojave is that great, or it could be that something broken got cured by side effect.
Either way, I’m happy. When my iMac became much slower than my Macbook Air, I had to employ more patience than I wanted to.
Now, all’s well.

And you get the revolutionary “Dark Mode”! Now you don’t have to be ashamed anymore next to the black dressed designers at Starbucks.
