An Interview with Matthew Rex About Stacky App, Mac OS X Stacks and the “Year of the Mac”

As soon as I heard my friend Matthew Rex was working on a Mac application together with Tim Davies (I interviewed both of them on MacStories, here and here) I started wondering how awesome that app could have been. Then, I heard it was called Stacky and it was about a new way of managing Mac OS X stacks.  So I seriously got excited and immediately shot a mail to Matthew asking him to answer some questions about Stacky, Stacks and other random stuff of Mac development and his 2009 achievements.

He was kind enough to reply with great responses and some cool hints at what Stacky might look like. Also, remember to follow Stacky and its creators on Twitte: @stackyapp, @matthewrex and @tmdvs.

Twittelator Goes 3.5

Interesting update for Twittelator Pro, which I reviewed a while ago. Here are some of the most important new features:

App has landscape support everywhere;

You can tweet your currently playing song;

Threaded DMs;

Dropdown to refresh tweets (like Tweetie 2);

More efficient image caching;

Find people by their full name;

Many other improvements and fixes.

Surely it’s one of the most complete Twitter clients out there, though the interface is not as elegant and sexy as Tweetie’s one.

Twittelator Pro is available at $4.99 in the App Store.

Espresso, the All-In-One Caffeinated Web Editor. Reviewed.

For a long time, Panic’s Coda has been the best, in both functionality and fashion, application for all in one website editing on the Mac.

MacRabbit, a software development company well known for it’s ADA winning CSSEdit, released their competitor to Coda that is putting some heat on the number one: Espresso.

Appropriately named the “Coda killer”, Espresso packs a real punch.

Interview with Michael Martin of ProBlogDesign. The Life of a Designer and Blogger Using Windows.

As a part of the MacStories Apps Tree event (where you’ll find a huge giveaway worth $10.000 of 450 Mac and iPhone apps licenses), I had the chance to interview Micheal Martin, the editor of ProBlogDesign. Michael is a designer and blogger but unlike many designers I’ve recently interviewed he’s using Windows. What came out was a uber-interesting interview, with awesome responses that will give you a good insight into the blogging / designing scene on Windows.

This is the 8th of many interviews and guest posts I’ll publish on MacStories during this week.

The MultiTasking War: ProSwitcher Goes Public Beta, Multifl0w Update Imminent

We all knew this was gonna happen. The day Ryan Petrich announced he was working on a new application to manage backgrounded apps on the iPhone, everyone thought of Multifl0w, and how ProSwitcher (this is the name of the new app by Petrich) could become the new, best multitasking application from Cydia. And here we are today, with ProSwitcher in public beta and a multifl0w update on its way. I’ve been trying ProSwitcher for a few hours now, and I’ve already ditched Multifl0w for it.

Find out why.
