Version 1.4.0

2 years ago

If you got Boop on the Mac App Store, you can update it there as well.


Peeps,

First of all, how have you been? I myself have been alright. Time is weird, eh? One minute, it’s October. The next minute, it’s still October, but also a year later. And so here we are, much later than expected, reunited again to chat about a new Boop update. And what an update it is.

Boop's UI

The kind folks over at Accidental Tech Podcast chatted about Boop, giving it a very nice review. One of their listeners said Boop is “like paper plates but for JSON” and I cannot overstate how much I love that. You can listen to it here: https://atp.fm/437 starting at 1:06:50

Now, this new version finally brings some very much needed upgrades: First off, a new icon that won’t look totally wonky alongside other Big Sur icons. It is an iteration of a new icon designed by @mmshivesh, and it makes quite a bit of a difference in the ol’ dock.

The new Boop Icon

I bet what sticks out is my number of unread messages.

I’ve also spent some time refreshing the overall user interface, to make it more in line with other Big Sur/Monterey applications. The picker has a new look, the editor got a more refined color scheme, and it overall just feels a lot better. Plus, it's now a universal app. Yay!

Boop's new UI

Anyway, here's what's new:

  • New icon inspired by mmshivesh
  • New design
  • Fixed an issue with the status bar
  • Fixed the CSV to JSON script
  • 13 new scripts
  • Added support for SF Symbols as script icons
  • Universal build for Apple Silicon support

New Scripts:

  • ASCII to Hex
  • Hex to ASCII
  • Binary to Decimal
  • Decimal to Binary
  • Decimal to Hex
  • Hex to Decimal
  • Fish Hex Path Converter
  • Lorem Ipsum
  • Sort JSON
  • URL Defang
  • URL Refang
  • URL Entities Decode
  • URL Entities Encode

I wish you a lot of great spooks, stay safe and healthy out there!
