These are all great suggestions. In a since deleted rant I pointed out that I represent the ideal user for Sparkle; I work in Pages, know my way around Keynote, and use Mac Apps for everything. Also, I first came across the App in v1. I was for years defeated by the move to mobile, the ideas behind ‘on this device’ and the later layout blocks. It’s not that the documentation is badly done but it assumes a working knowledge of how to do what you don’t know how to do, or at least how to find out what’s possible. The new tutorial vids on YouTube are a big step forward.
For myself, after weeks of cursing Sparkle, Duncan (who is, lets be real, a saint), and my inability to understand the transition from browser-scale to mobile, one morning I finally understood. It’s all about ‘on this device’, layout blocks, and styles. Once you get that it’s easy and elegantly done. There are still weirdnesses but I’m understanding more and I have my simple ‘hello world!’ work-in-progress website up and running. I’ve always thought that this app has massive potential for users like me. I recommend it to everyone I can and am greatly encouraged by all the recent additions and improvements.
