Title: Danley Direct - No Mac version anymore?
Post by: drew gandy on November 03, 2022, 01:53:44 PM
Just perusing the Danley site with the thought to download an Apple Silicon version of Direct for the new mbp and I don't see Mac as an option. Have they just ended Mac development? I wish there were some more details on the site for users about changes.

They ended Mac support about a year or so ago. I have Direct on my old Mac but I can no longer get a copy for my new Mac. I just run the Windows version in Parallels and it works great.

Parallels

Yet another subscription...

I thought I was finally close to having everything working and then the Apple Silicon thing happened.
Probably going to be a few more years till we can run a "regular' Linux distro on it. And probably longer than that till Windows on ARM will work on it.

So, is Direct still being developed? It seems like when they canned Doug they made a conscious decision to end the whole "education" loss leader including Direct. But I've seen some "updates" to Direct since then so I'm confused.

To my knowledge Direct was the child of Sebastian Rivas Godoy who now works for Renkus Heinz.

Doug and Sebas worked together to create Direct.
Glad to hear that he landed at Renkus!

Sebastian is working for both Danley and Renkus.  And maybe others, I don't know.

He is basically doing "contract work".
