AIRConfig was made just hacking apart one of the really early Apple code samples included with MPW. So in order to make fully-featured, MacOS 8-themable tools, I first set out to write a framework I could work in.
I know there’s MacApp/PowerPlant, but
① Not in the mood to learn C++
② I wanted this to be an experience to learn how Mac Toolbox apps work from the ground up, not just learn how to plug code into an outdated framework. (2/6)

My goal was also to follow in the footsteps of the people I looked up to in the 90’s who wrote those great Mac applications I grew up with and see if I could do the same, since it seemed so magical and unattainable at the time. I want to make applications with the polish that they could have been sold as shareware. (3/6)
