Native software for Mac, iOS, Windows and Android — and the tools underneath.

... Add up to make a big thing, and this last weekend has been a very long list of little things, along with a couple of big things. Let us start with the little things.

So, this might not be worth its own news entry, but the new look and feel website dropped today. It wasn't supposed to happen until tonight, but apparently someone forgot to disable the auto publish features that we have been using during all of our recent tweaking, and well... oops?

Anyways, much like the work we did over at Two Wheel Junction, it was time. Most of the existing site dates back to 1995, and despite multiple minor updates, it had reached 'well over due' status. While a more flashy look would be the trend, it just did not fit quite who we are, so we opted for a lower key, more 'hey there is stuff to actually read' layout and look.

We hope you like it.

FiSQL is an idea. Pronounced like 'fiscal', the idea is an accounting system that works for your business. Implement the modules you need. Ignore the modules you don't. Own your data. Customize the system to your needs. Integrate it with the tools you want, or create your own.

FiSQL is the operating system for a small business: customers, vendors, bills, invoices, the general ledger, projects, time, and support tickets - with stock and warehousing still to come. It runs on a real SQL database you can point any tool at, and it grows one module at a time rather than arriving as a suite you have to swallow whole. The one-sentence version: run your whole business on a database you own.

... Leading to a bunch of bigger changes in front of the scenes. After almost 20 years of being almost exclusively Mac and to a lesser degree, iOS focused, the last month has brought a bunch of our work to other platforms, including Windows and Android ( and soon even Linux and Haiku ). Those changes meant time to rethink some of how this web site works. That may not sound like a lot of work, and visually, it probably is not. However, behind the scenes it has been a lot of work to make hundreds of little changes to make things work better for more than one platform.

Late last week, we submitted v1.0.11 to the App Store for Review. At this point the iOS version has cleared review and the macOS version is still waiting. There are some new. features to talk about, but first, know that we are holding the actual publication until everything has cleared the review process so that we can release them all at the same time.

Privacy has become a big issue over the last few years, and we get it. More than we would probably like to admit, as a couple of us have been victims of identity theft ourselves. As a result we have taken a pretty hard stance regarding our own policies regarding the privacy of our friends, family, and customers. You can view our published policy here. That is the top level surface policy that is more or less a generic template of a privacy policy.

It barely scratches the surface of our internal thoughts and policies.

As of today, the Accessibility Mapper is available in the Apple App Store. Remember, this is also available as Open Source on Github, and is free for non-commercial use.

Accessibility Mapper headed to the App Store. Mac first. This is just the first step. It will take a few days for it to get through the review process.
