Ice Menu Bar Development Slowing Down
jordanbaird, on github.com:
When I first created Ice, I decided to release it for free and make it open source. I firmly believe it is this decision that has enabled Ice’s userbase to grow at the incredible rate it has. While I am immensly grateful for the support I’ve received over the last several months, unfortunately, kind words don’t pay the bills. The reality is, most people who use the app do so without providing a financial contribution. While I want to make it clear that nobody is obligated to give me money, as a human being, I need to be able to support myself financially. As such, I have accepted a full time position with a company, and will be developing their macOS app. While I will try to continue to provide support and updates for Ice, I want to make it clear that most of my time in the forseeable future will be dedicated to my job.
ICE has improved continually over the last couple of months. It’s now a viable replacement over Bartender for most people. All the best to the developer and I hope the app gets another lead dev to continue updated.
My recent subscription to Setapp has led me back to Bartender — and for my very heavy Menu Bar icons use — it works a lot better.
