Ty Clifford df56bfd57c - Added native confirmation sheets in the Mac client.
Manual content actions now confirm clearly:
Draft shows “Draft Saved”
Publish shows “Published”
Update shows “Updated”
Delete first asks “Delete Post/Page?” and then shows “Deleted” after the 
API succeeds
Autosave stays quiet so it does not spam popups.

TCMS

Native AppKit macOS 12+ client for Ty Clifford's Content Management System.

Run

cd macclient
./build-app.sh
open TCMS.app

The built app bundle is written to macclient/TCMS.app.

Connect

Point the client at any TCMS install URL, such as:

https://example.com/blog
http://127.0.0.1:8097

The client automatically calls api.php under that URL. Enter the username/password stored in the site's .env.
