+# [Jefferson City Memorial Airport](https://www.jeffersoncitymo.gov/government/airport.php)
+
+> In 1947-48 the Jefferson City Memorial Airport was built on 238 acres of farmland located in the Missouri River bottoms directly across from the State Capitol Building.  The original construction consisted of one paved runway that was 2,500 feet long, and two grass strips, each of which were also 2,500 feet long.  Improvements were made to the runways in 1956, 1963, 1972, and 1985, resulting in the configuration that we have today.  Currently, the main runway (12-30) is 6,000 feet long by 100 feet wide with a concrete surface.  It is equipped with high-intensity runway lighting and several instrument approach procedures.  The crosswind runway (9-27) is 3,400 feet long by 75 feet wide.  It has a concrete surface and medium-intensity runway lighting.  Both runways have parallel taxiways.  Additional facilities include the Airport Terminal Building, which was constructed in 1966, and the Air Traffic Control Tower which was commissioned in 1973.  Air traffic control services are available from 6:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., daily.  Control Tower staffing is provided by Midwest Air Traffic Services, Inc., through a contract with the FAA.  Radar approach control services are provided 24-hours per day by Mizzu Approach, which is located in Springfield, Missouri.
+
+> Available Services: Aviation Fuel (Jet-A and 100LL), Line Service and Aircraft Parking, Hangars, Flight Training, Aircraft Rental, Maintenance, Parts, and Avionics.

+
+> [Tusker](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tusker/id1498334597?uo=4)
+> ----------------------------------------------------------------
+> 
+> The versatile Mastodon client Tusker, which we covered [a few weeks ago on AppStories](https://appstories.net/episodes/314), was updated this week with a lot of enhancements and nice quality-of-life improvements. Some of the highlights include: you can now pin specific public timelines to the Home tab of the app; you can choose to hide rich link preview cards; the Bookmarks screen now supports infinite scrolling to load large sets of bookmarked posts; there is proper state restoration for more screens in the app; and, my favorite, you can now choose to sync your timeline position using the Mastodon API rather than iCloud. In my early tests, I haven’t been able to sync my Home timeline with the Home tab in the Mastodon web interface, but the Tusker developers mention in the app’s settings that it’s a known limitation. The Mastodon sync API seems to be a relatively new and barebones option that’s not widely supported yet, so I hope to see more work from the Mastodon team put into this feature soon. Eventually, I’d love to seamlessly switch between iOS and web clients for Mastodon and always keep my timeline position.

+# [Bruno Philipe | Noto](https://bruno.ph/project/1/)
+
+> A plain-text editor for macOS with a focus on a minimalistic user interface, pretty and customizable themes, and useful features.
+> 
+> I enjoy having a small text editor for plain text files. Many editor apps try to do too much, or try to be portable and then sacrifice functionality instead. I decided I wanted to build something simple and targeted to macOS only so that I could use all of the cool features of macOS.
+> 
+> This project was inspired by a previous project of mine, [TipTyper](/software/tiptyper), which was also a plain-text editor, but written in Objective-C. That was _the_ project that taught me Cocoa programming. Now that I feel I have an improved level of knowledge of Cocoa, I felt it would be appropriate to re-do that project, but now using the fantastic Swift programming language.
+> 
+> And because some people prefer light text on dark background, others dark text on white backgrounds, some others enjoy sepia tones, and others something completely different, I felt it was important to have a capable theme engine to allow the user to pick whichever colors they want for the entire document interface.
+> 
+> Work in this project is still ongoing, albeit a bit slow.
+
+# [Bruno Philipe | Mastonaut](https://bruno.ph/project/3/)
+
+> astonaut is a client for Mastodon, the distributed social network with over 2 million users worldwide.
+> 
+> I enjoyed using Mastodon a lot in the past already, but I felt that the experience could be better if I were using it from a desktop app instead of a web browser.
+> 
+> So I started this project back in December 2018, and six months later it made its way to the Mac App Store. Mastonaut has already gathered a significant user base, and I've since updated the app several times to add more features. It is an ongoing project that I work on during my spare time.
+> 
+> It is a Cocoa app written mostly in Swift, with some logic that's bound to strings and attributed strings processing in Objective-C for performance. No third party libraries are used, with the exception of MastodonKit (a library for the Mastodon API) and SVGKit, to render SVGs on the fly.
+> 
+> A lot of technical effort was placed on making Mastodon's custom animated emoji look good in the app, since most other clients (including for iOS) simply display their static versions. This is a whimsical feature that is technically difficult to implement well in Cocoa/AppKit, but I deemed it a worthwhile one, and in the end it looks great.
