+They have everything scaffolded Glimmer apps come with in addition to gem content like a [Juwelier](https://rubygems.org/gems/juwelier) Rakefile that can build gemspec and release gems.
 Unlike scaffolded Glimmer apps, custom shell gem content lives under the `lib` directory (not `app`).
 They can be packaged as both a native executable (e.g. Mac DMG/PKG/APP) and a Ruby gem.
 Of course, you can just build a Ruby gem and disregard native executable packaging if you do not need it.
@@ -847,7 +854,7 @@ Since custom shell gems are both an app and a gem, they provide two ways to run:
 - Run the `glimmer` command and pass it the generated script under the `bin` directory that matches the gem name (e.g. run `glimmer bin/glimmer-cs-calculator`)
 - Run the executable shell script that ships with the gem directly (does not need the `glimmer` command). It intentionally has a shorter name for convenience since it is meant to be used on the command line (not in a package), so you can leave out the `glimmer-cs-` prefix (e.g. run `bin/calculator` directly). This is also used as the main way of running custom shell gems on Linux.
