Hi there. Google deprecated its ClientLogin API 4 days ago. Developers had enough time to adapt to the changes; many did not. I decided to share my thoughts about it, hope you like it and contribute.
Just saw your post about Yerba Mate. I'll be in SF in September and I'll bring 1 pack of brazilian yerba mate for you. I drink everyday and it's delicious. You'll love it.
It was a different team and different time. The main reason is that Apple decided not to support Ruby/Cocoa anymore and at that time, the team wasn't ready to rebuild it. Now, I can guarantee we'll do everything possible to recover your trust. It would be awesome to have you onboard again.
Hey, good to hear from you. Yes, we've just released our public beta and you can download it on our website if you join the beta program.
About Windows Live Writer, we do have a lot of beta users that migrate from Windows to Mac and are helping us building a very good product. WLW still have a lot of users but Microsoft decided to shut it down. :/
