I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Try turning a patch of the garden into the same symbol!


Origin story of Electro from Spiderman just made a jump from fantasy to science-fiction!


Here's my implementation from 2014 that let's you spawn more ants on the grid. http://code-art.chintanghate.me/LangtonsAnt.html


I have published an app [Exporter](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/exporter/id1099120373?mt=12) that does something similar - exports Apple Notes to HTML and markdown with the attachments. Give it a try, let me know if it solves your issue.

Also, why did you select JSON as the output format?


Thanks for making your app. I’ve used it more than once and it works well. Many export solutions don’t handle attachments but yours does. So kudos for that.

A few years ago I tried to write my own exporter using AppleScript but got stuck by a showstopping bug in Notes AppleScript implementation. Or so it seemed. I hope that bug is fixed now. I just moved on to use your app instead.


I am glad it's being useful. :)

I used AppleScript for the first two years of this app as well (Can't believe it's been 7 years since I started it). But it's hard to handle complex programs, and handing off data to Swift or Objective-C from AppleScript. So I switched to [ScriptingBridge](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/scriptingbridge). It provides better Objective-C APIs to handle Apple Events.


This is so cool and way cooler than my tool!! I chose JSON because it was the easiest option. And also because it is the format I wanted to support first, but mostly because it was the easiest.


Worked well for me, thanks.


+1 to a vacation. And after that rather than going after what's in demand/hype right now, go after something that you want to use and isn't available in the market, and try to build that. I have found building tools for myself that I and a bunch of other people love to use as one of the most rewarding/fulfilling work.


That is great advice. Use your skills to improve the lives of those around you in a meaningful way. I'm working on building a scheduling app for water delivery at the canal company I am a rights holder in. Everyone, including me, will end up using it. Right now they use email and paper cards. They can't afford to pay someone what it would cost to develop it. I saw a need and stepped up. Very rewarding.


That’s an amazing initiative. Best of luck! :)


Not a technical skill, but in the self improvement genre - Colin Murray’s channel https://m.youtube.com/@colinmurrayYT/videos is great for people who like exercising from home, without investing a lot in equipments and weight. Has helped me exercise more regularly compared to past years.

And then for one of my hobbies https://m.youtube.com/@idaemonplasmo for building better model kit aircrafts.

Not sure if they are masters of their craft, but they make their craft more accessible/enjoyable for me.


I'll have to check out Colin Murray.

I like "Hybrid Calisthenics" with Hampton: https://www.youtube.com/@HybridCalisthenics


Plasmo is great, his videos are so relaxing to watch


Same! would open a small patisserie.


Please do, the US has such a lack of patisseries and boulangeries ( sorry to assume your position )


It must be really hard work being a baker, it's very labour intensive and you sell each item pretty cheaply. I guess it's hard to make money. I'm always so happy in France to see every village having it's own bakery which is always busy. Even in the UK we have a great scene in village bakeries making cakes, bread and sausage rolls and pies and pasties. It's one of the finer things in life :-)


Exactly, we like to jokes that it was set us apart from the barbarian.

A lot of excellent memory are associated with bakery. Late at night / super early. Bringing croissant to a new girl that spend the night. Tea with grandma…. You name it.

And joke aside, in France a village goes to another category when the last boulangerie close.

Their is bread in the US, you find good bakery. But the posh and exclusive aspect of it ruins it for me. I’m not driving 15min to buy a 4$ baguettes.

And yes. It’s a taxing job. You are out of synch with normal people. Right now baker are suffering greatly from increased energy prices. I hope we put them on full life support of cash if needed. That’s worth it.


I remember seeing it years ago, still amazed by it. What's even cooler is that it was created almost 10 years ago and I believe it hasn't changed much since then. You can read about it [here](https://acko.net/blog/zero-to-sixty-in-one-second/)


Go for boring descriptive names that create a cute acronym. Win-Win!


From version 3.0, you can export notes to HTML format as well, which can also be imported back into Apple Notes with formatting and attachments preserved. Attachments (PEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF & BMP files) are supported Catalina onward.
