Why Open Source
Text Editor For Mac
For a while now we concentrate on our efforts on two other projects:
Wokabulary, a flash card app focused on language learning for Mac, iPhone and iPad.
And Loqbooq, a decision log for project management and ADR.
Tincta still has many fans, though, (including ourselves) and we don't want to just abandon this useful tool. Therefore we decided to open source Tincta and release small updates on the Mac App Store whenever people contribute to it (also including ourselves).
