Dear Pedia Users,
I hope this post finds you all well and thriving. As can easily be noticed, from the last post being from 2019 and presence from forum missing since also 2019, much has changed in my life in the last few years. My time for the Pedias has slowly become more and more limited, to the point where I don’t bene get around to emails but every other week. After much consideration, I have decided to take a hiatus from programming to prioritize family life and spend more quality time with my kids. Striking a balance in life can be challenging, and in introspection, family emerged as a domain calling for my omnipresent devotion for a little while.
During this hiatus, sales of the applications will be halted, it will always be available for all current owners. Ans please be assured that they will continue to be maintained with the limited time I have. Updates will be fewer and centered around maintaining the essential functionality, compatibility, and security, rather than expanding features.
Over the past twenty years, I’ve had the incredible fortune to be a part of the ever-supportive and vibrant Mac community. The journey has been rewarding and immensely satisfying. Interacting with you all, as we passionately worked on crafting the Pedias, has been the highlight of my career and allowed me the freedom to be where I am today. I deeply appreciate all the love, support, and constructive feedback I’ve received over the years and the financial support to make it all happen.
Although sales for Pedia applications are on hold, I still hold an untamed enthusiasm about future possibilities. I hear from older parents, there is a time when kids become teenagers and then you are free again devote more time to loved projects. The promise of future innovation is, after all, a cornerstone of what made me so attracted to programming in the first place. Therefore, when the time is right, I genuinely hope to come back to MacOS and iOS, whether to work on new renditions of the beloved Pedia projects or to introduce something new and exciting.
It’s a transition phase, mostly a ‘catch you on the others side’ than a ‘goodbye.’ Who knows, a few years down the line, we might be diving into another incredible project together! I do have ideas for the Pedias and new apps, just not the time I wish I had.
Until then, I wish each one of you success in your endeavors and happiness in all walks of life. Stay safe and keep being the amazing community you are. I’ll be looking forward to the time when we cross paths again in the future.
Warmest of regards,
Conor (TopDog)
