Ask HN: What's your Mac OS App side project?

I'm curious if any HN'ers here have any fun mac os projects they've built or even have an income from? I feel like we hear a lot about saas and iphone apps, but not mac os apps as much. I have a mac os app idea, and I'm also wondering if anyone knows of a good book on building a mac os app business? Or perhaps a book on building an iphone app company would be sufficient and applicable to mac os?

Why does it have to be macOS but not a Windows app?

I too trying macOS only at first. Because Windows has can have of apps as alternative. macOS users are prefer to buy premium while majority of Windows users aren't.

Not sure. I mean, even that "minority" who buys software on Windows, has to be orders of magnitude larger compared to macOS userbase.

Gotcha! Useful point to consider.
