Sometimes we want a gradient to span the whole plot rather than restart within each mark. In Swift Charts, alignsMarkStylesWithPlotArea(true) gives marks a shared gradient alignment.

This is fixed in the upcoming v2.0.5 (144).
While I was at it, I also squashed a few similar bugs that were pretty rare and only showed up at certain specific GPS coordinates. I'll share the full changelog as soon as the update is live on the App Store!

This #Xcode 16 feature is probably one of my favorite ones: pasting content directly into a new file without creating it first. Just copy the content, select the preferred directory, and paste it from the clipboard. That's it.

Appstead is now available on the App Store.

I got tired of digging through App Store Connect to see how my apps were doing. So I built a native command center for my App Store business on iPhone and iPad.

Thank you to everyone who helped test it.
