I love collecting fonts. Well, I love collecting well-done fonts: I spend a lot of time searching for the right one, depending of what I want to achieve in Photoshop. On the other hand, I love iTunes. Amazing from a user interface standpoint (although written in Carbon) Apple did a great job in creating an all-in-one application for muisc, movies and apps.
What if we can get a similar result..for fonts managing?
Here’s Fontcase.
If you have a Mac and you’re a web designer / blogger, it’s very likely that you’ve heard of RapidWeaver: it’s one of the most famous WYSIWYG editor around, it has a lot of features and a great support by RealMac Software. While many Mac users still use Apple’s iWeb and just feel comfortable with it, RapidWeaver’s slowly becoming popular, thanks to its simplicity and great UI.
Anyway, I would like to share my thoughts about Flux, a great alternative to RapidWeaver which I found in my “late night Mac apps discovering” sessions.
Here’s my review.
The first time I tried Daylite.app for Mac it seemed too complex to me: I thought that it was surely very useful for teams of 20-30 people and more, but to me, a single blogger without any sort of team, it was just too stuff in one single window. Then, one of my Twitter followers said “What? You don’t use Daylite? Go try it!” and I decided that it should get another chance.
It was worth of it.
Daylite is a business productivity manager designed to help you manage you business, either if you are a single or a team. It has got features like Projects, Calendars, Tasks, Notes and Contacts: basically, everything you would ever need to organize your business “the Mac way”.
Google Chrome, what a great browser. Fast, simple, sleek interface: you could say it’s a Mac app. Unfortunately, Google Chrome is available only on Windows and we should be able to get the Mac version this fall.
But there’s still a chance to have Google Chrome run under Leopard, and it’s not Chromium. Have you ever heard of Stainless?
There’s no doubt that gestures-based navigation is a great feature: instead of right-clicks and context menus you can simply move around your mouse/fingers to perform actions.
Thanks to Apple’s multi-touch trackpad and some nice Firefox add-ons, gestures are slowly becoming mainstream: amongst many of those Firefox add-ons I want to talk about Drag & DropZones.
Today I’m gonna talk about a very particular application, Cram.
Cram is a study and test prep app, perfect for students or people preparing for certifications and tests.
How many hours have you ever spent looking for that tutorial you know you have bookmarked three months ago?
A lot, I guess. Well, this is beacuse bookmarks have become too important, they’re the only way we can store websites permanently (I mean, we can’t leave open tabs for 200 websites) being sure that we’ll “find that tutorial” again in the future.
What if we can store all of our boomarked websites in a single desktop application?
Let’s talk about Webbla.
A little update to talk about a recently released mac-only extension for mozilla’s browser: Quickfire.
Quickfire can launch any application directly from Firefox : simply start typing the first letters in the address bar to get the results from / Applications folder, press Enter and start the application.
There is no doubt that much of the beauty of Mac OS X lies in its simplicity: to install an app just drag it into a folder, move it to trash to uninstall it ,keep it in dock to quickly launch it.
Three simple processes that Windows users are still dreaming of.
But what happens when you have several applications on your Mac but do not want to keep all in the dock?
You need a “launcher”, a small app that could be easily and that can afford to run any application in less than 2 seconds.
We therefore talk about QuickSilver.
