MacPaw acquires The Unarchiver and commits to… | MacPaw Blog
The Unarchiver app for macOS is probably the most popular one of its kind (that isn’t a System app), and MacPaw are a great bunch of people! So this can only be a good thing (Unless I’m missing something?).

What I’m Up To
Over the past week, I have done a few interesting things, mainly working on my app Hydrate, and a few other meta tasks.
I can’t remember exactly what was finished this week, but the main thing was the history view. So you can now see your water intake for the past 21 days! I was meaning to do this right from the start, but I really couldn’t be bothered! However over last weekend, I was away in Norfolk with rather bad internet, so I forced myself to get on with it then.
As for what else I was getting up to, Ghost (the blog platform this runs on) was updated to v1.0! Which meant (what I thought would be huge) migration task, as it used MySQL instead of SQLite, and also a few syntax changes for themes. The whole process actually only took me about an hour, so that was done in one lunch time at work.
It did get a bit bad though, as I got a bit trigger happy with linux commands, and ended up completely destroying the permissions. So everything slowly stopped working. In the end I realised I had everything backed up perfectly, so I created a new droplet on Digital Ocean and put it all back to normal! Lessons were learned!
