  • Welcome, macOS Sonoma!

    macOS “Sonoma” has arrived, and TypeMetal is ready!

    Our latest update, TypeMetal 2.3, contains a few tweaks to ensure it solidly supports your HTML and WordPress authoring endeavors on Apple’s latest and greatest OS. One particuarly obvious change you’ll notice is that we’ve slightly updated TypeMetal’s app icon to fit in better with the other apps in your Dock:

    TypeMetal’s new “Appearance” settings pane lets you switch back to the “Classic” icon if you prefer it.

    Another noteworthy change is the move to macOS 10.13 as the minimum requirement to run TypeMetal 2.3 and later. We’ve worked hard to keep TypeMetal compatible with as wide a range of macOS versions as we feasibly can. With Apple’s current developer tools having dropped support for targeting macOS versions prior to 10.13, it was time to reulctantly advance our minimum OS requirement. Supporting macOS 10.13 still takes us back a long way, letting TypeMetal 2.3 run on Macs as old as 2011 models. (We have a couple of them here!) We hope this change in minimum requirements doesn’t cause trouble for any of the loyal TypeMetal users we’re so grateful to have. Please reach out anytime regarding this or any other issues you encounter!

    See TypeMetal’s Version History for the complete list of what’s new in TypeMetal 2.3.

  • TypeMetal Turns Nine!

    Nine years ago today, TypeMetal 1.0 made its appearance on the Mac App Store!

    Beginning life as a revolutionary visual HTML editor unlike any other, TypeMetal grew into a fully integrated WordPress publishing app in version 2, while retaining all of its standalone-HTML-file-editing capabilities. Now, the same HTML authoring features that underpinned the writing of TypeMetal’s comprehensive in-app Help pages (mirrored here as the TypeMetal User Guide) are powering brainstorming and feature design write-ups for new features.
