Twitter's 'Catalyst' app is here for macOS
The company finally makes a return to the desktop with a new 'Catalyst' backed app. For context, Catalyst is a technology Apple provides to allow developers to port iPad apps to macOS in ostentatiously simple steps... but the resulting Twitter app is a pile of junk, even if it's a version one and apparently one of the flagships.

'Masters of the Air' will supposedly be made in-house, which will be interesting to see how it pans out!
