EnglishWhy Me and Mark Publishing Shifted from Mac and iOS Apps to Web Development
Updated
Me and Mark Publishing has moved its active focus from Mac and iOS app development to web development. The site's own description states that its original focus was developing Mac and iOS apps, and that its new focus is web development. Mac and iOS development writing now lives at Swift Dev Journal, while the older Mac and iOS articles and books remain available on this site under "Older Stuff."
What the site says about the change
The homepage description is the clearest source on the shift:
- Original focus: developing Mac and iOS apps
- New focus: web development
- Where web development articles live: the blog
- Where Mac and iOS development writing moved: Swift Dev Journal
- Where older material lives: the "Older Stuff" section, which links to Old Articles and Books
That is the full extent of what the site states. It does not give a dated announcement, a stated reason, or a timeline for the transition, so any explanation beyond the description above would be speculation.
Where each type of content is now
| Content type | Where to find it |
|---|---|
| Web development articles | The blog on meandmark.com |
| Mac and iOS development articles (current) | Swift Dev Journal |
| Older blog articles, including Mac and iOS posts | The blog archive on meandmark.com |
| Old articles and books (most 10+ years old) | "Older Stuff" links: Old Articles, Books |
How to use this if you arrived looking for Mac or iOS content
If you came to meandmark.com expecting Mac or iOS tutorials, the site points you elsewhere:
- For current Mac and iOS development writing, go to Swift Dev Journal.
- For older Mac and iOS articles, use the blog archive on this site.
- For books and other older material, use the "Older Stuff" links, keeping in mind most of it is over a decade old.
If you are looking for web development content, the blog on meandmark.com is the place the site directs you to.
What is not stated
The site does not explain why the focus changed, when it changed, or whether the older Mac and iOS material is still being maintained. It also does not list pricing, subscriptions, or login requirements for any of the content. Treat the older material as archival rather than actively updated, since the site itself describes most of it as 10+ years old.
