Hi Rob, I remember your struggles on the Mac. It inspired me to create the leo Homebrew formula back in the day. While I haven't used Leo since, I still hang out on the group. It's also interesting to see Leo pop up in VSCode, which I use daily.
I just received a shiny new MacBook Pro last week after 9 years on the previous one, so I might foolishly take up the challenge of producing an installer. It looks like PyInstaller works on Mac too. I'm also dusting off my Homebrew formulas and hope to clean up the leo one as well. Last year I revived a colleague's 14-year-old Mac app, so I'm feeling limber :-) Best regards, Ludwig On Friday, 12 May 2023 at 01:50:13 UTC+2 Rob wrote: > Echo what @Paul said about an installer.
