After more than 25 years of developing MBS Plugins, I’m still frequently surprised by what customers build with them.
Tell me about your favorite feature, most-used class, or a project that wouldn’t have been possible without MBS Plugins.
And of course which parts could get more attention.
I am grateful that you added those OpenSSL functions for me so that I could build an internal app to help with Self-Signed SSL Certificates.
I wish to one day release it, but I really haven’t the time to work on it and build a whole application. However, anyone out there who does a lot of networking and might need something to help Self-Sign certificates can drop me a line. It’s… rough, but it works.
DynaPDF!
DynaPDF, LibXL, and SQLDatabaseMBS for SQLServer. I use as least one of those in pretty much all of my apps.
Is there anything MBS can’t do?
AppleScript
NSImage
NSTableview
Tidy
Html to pdf
LaunchServices
Preferences
NSWorkspace
FileList
SQLite with unicode
CallDelegate
WKWebView
Regex
Curl
PDF
Curl, DynaPDF, Barcode, compression, encryption… I hope to see SQL someday.
MBS has saved me countless times! Thank you for your great plugins, your professionalism, and your consistency!
I use so many I couldn’t possibly choose among them, but those that have been the most impactful for me include the WKWebViewControl, PDFKit, and CloudKit. At the moment I’m implementing support for Apple’s Foundation Models. Big changes are coming in macOS 27. I’m hoping MBS will let us access as many of the new Foundation Model APIs as possible.
Those saved me countless hours of RnD:
