What's great

Before @Updatest, I was using TrashMe 3 (terrible name!), Latest, the Homebrew Raycast extension (which I contributed to!), and in-app Sparkle updates and the App Store to keep my apps up to date.

But Updatest handles all of those sources and helps me migrate random apps I've installed to be managed by Homebrew, which is much more reliable and convenient.

@hugeirl has been cranking on Updatest to get to this launch, and the quality of his work shows.

If you use Mac apps and want to keep them up-to-date, you owe it to yourself to give Updatest a try.

I bought a license within minutes of downloading the app โ€” and it's improved by leaps and bounds since then!

What needs improvement

The interface has quite a bit going on, which can be intimidating for newcomers. Everything serves a purpose, but that might be something to hone over time.

vs Alternatives

Updatest has more coverage and better integration with Homebrew.

As a new "vibe coder," Windsurf has been a joy to work with. Especially when paired with Claude 3.7 Sonnet, I was able to rapidly iterate across the entire extension's existing codebase, and quickly resolve web scraping, Node, TypeScript, and Markdown formatting issues. Windsurf streamlined both the development process as well as working with GitHub.

It's a scam: "Matthew Podolsky, the Acting United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, and Christopher G. Raia, the Assistant Director in Charge of the New York Field Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (โ€œFBIโ€), announced today an Indictment charging ALBERT SANIGER, the former Chief Executive Officer of Nate, Inc. (โ€œnateโ€), with engaging in a scheme to defraud investors and prospective investors of nate by making false and misleading statements about nateโ€™s use of proprietary AI technology and its operational capabilities." https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdn...
