Why is this product not available on Mac?

[CassySpencer]

What's the Problem?

There is absolutely no reason why this product is not available on Mac other than the fact Microsoft wants everyone to use windows, even though almost 100% of Silicon Valley uses Macs.

Solution/Idea

Compile for Macs. This is obviously a web app with a browser shell. Therefore, you should be able to make it available on Apple Macs

Alternatives

Make it available on Apple Mac. What more is there to say?

Hi Cassy, this is not a web app with a browser shell, if you look at the code you will see its written in entirely c# with the UWP, which works only on Windows.
See #156 for further discussion as to why DevToys is currently only available on Windows

Hi Cassy,

First, this app isn't made by Microsoft. It's made by me a friend in our spare time. So saying that Microsoft wants everyone to use windows because this particular app isn't on Mac is wrong.

This is obviously a web app with a browser shell.

No, it is not. This app is a UWP app. It is 92% native code. Please learn the difference between web app and UWP here.
In addition to the fact that this is not a web application, there are many other reasons as mentioned here: #156 (comment)

Thanks for your understanding. If you're interested in an alternative app for Mac, I can think of DevUtils, Boop or DevBox. :)
