Your posts are so approachable! Thanks for writing them - makes it easier for Swift n00bs like me to catch on.

This gave me some ideas for something I wanted to build, thanks.

Whenever I see SwiftUI, I get a tiny bit of PTSD and a chuckle. I worked for unemployment insurance (UI) at the State of MN and they changed accounting software mid-year. They called it Swift but it wasn't. Took a class for power users and we learned we were power users. OMG lol

Oh nice! Saved this article. I was building a macOS menu bar app last year, but ran into trouble with SwiftUI when trying to use a right click or control click. Got that part working but had to use old things like an App Delegate. Is right click functionality available now in MenuBarExtras?

Unfortunately, I don’t think right click is available, I tried a few things but couldn’t make it work with SwiftUI 😕
