Here's something you don't see every day…a visionOS app that made it to version 2.0!

I released the first version of GlanceBar over a year ago, and I never really stopped updating it. For version 2.0, I added curved window mode, a photo module and a music player module. It finally now has all the features I'd originally planned for!

(And it feels so good to meet my goal of getting this done before @DeepDishSwift)

An #AppleVisionPro (or other #virtualreality environment) app that puts you in a seat at a specific location in a sports venue at a live game as it’s happening. You can choose to hear the ambient crowd noises from that location, maybe with commentary from a broadcast booth, either the home or away commentators. Pick a specific seat location. Teams could sell tickets. Probably reduced price to start with but up to full price or beyond if it actually caught on. Playoff tickets would be popular.
