I've started to add BeOS to Infinite Mac - you can see the first few versions on infinitemac.org?filter=beos Not having been much of a user back in the day, I'm looking for suggestions of software to include, or pointers to canonical archives (is there a Be version of the Macintosh Garden?)

I've switched over Infinite Mac's classic Mac emulation to recently-released and awesome Snow, which unblocks A/UX emulation: infinitemac.org?filter=aux There's a behind-the-scenes blog post at blog.persistent.info/2026/09/infi... detailing this and other site updates.

The nice thing about making your own weather app is that you can make features just for yourself. I'd always wanted to know every morning if work (nominally 45 miles away, but an entirely different climate) had different weather, and now I can. apps.apple.com/app/weather-...

Infinite Mac now has a “Macintosh Garden” drawer that allows one-click loading of any of the 20,000 items archived by that site. I wrote up a brief post with some behind-the-scenes details: blog.persistent.info/2024/11/infi...

I’m still team “if you didn’t blog it, it didn’t happen”. So here’s a post about how much Quip technology is in Slack canvas (spoiler: a lot): https://blog.persistent.info/2023/07/slack-canvas-quip.html
