Show HN: Primitive for macOS
About two months ago I shared my "primitive" project and it was well received: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12539109" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12539109</a><p>As a result, I decided to follow through and make more of it. So today I am announcing Primitive for macOS, now available on the Mac App Store.<p>The core is still implemented in Go. The GUI is written in Objective-C (haven't bothered to learn Swift yet!) and communicates with the Go process over stdin/stdout via NSTask and NSPipe. The rendering is done on the front-end; the backend just sends shape coordinates and such.<p>I spent a lot of time fleshing out the GUI layout to make it as simple yet powerful as possible. I hope you find it to be intuitive and I hope that you are pleased with the resulting images. I look forward to seeing what people do with the app. :)<p>Let me know if you have any questions!
