  • DrawIt 3.7

    And we’re already on version 3.7
    Some of you might have noticed the quiet update to version 3.7 in DrawIt. The biggest improvement is a nearly total rewrite of the Vector tool. I received a lot of feedback regarding this but I believe these are now all solved. Please let me know how it works for [...]

  • Updated website; more information about DrawIt Batch

    A slightly different website
    For some time now, I’ve felt uncomfortable with my current website. I felt like there were too many pages and that info was scattered around. Also I wanted to publish some info about other projects I’m working on; Fontcase and DrawIt Batch (I think I’ll stick to this name). The old website [...]

  • DrawIt 3.6.1, a quick but important update

    DrawIt 3.6.1 with a few important bug fixes
    As you’ll all know, I just put out version 3.6 a few days ago but I already have a new update for all of you. I received a bit of feedback about bugs related to rotated layers and I think I solved them all. So instead of letting [...]

  • Compensating for Bitmap: Acorn for registered DrawIt users

    DrawIt’s bitmap editing
    Those of you who read my previous post will know that I removed the bitmap editing from DrawIt Pro. It’s fairly uncommon to remove features, especially if they are this important, but DrawIt’s bitmap editing has never been that good. Compared to for example Flying Meat’s Acorn or Pixelmator DrawIt’s bitmap tools never [...]

  • Finally: DrawIt 3.6 released

    Finally the moment is here; DrawIt 3.6 released
    It took a while, but I DrawIt 3.6 is finally out there. The reason it took this long was that I was busy with Fontcase (and I still am) and that I had planned to release both applications at the same time. But I’ve had it sitting here [...]

  • Batch, a new application

    Wait, a new application? What happened to Fontcase? Well, it’s still under development of course. At the moment we’re doing a small private betatest and we keep improving it. I’m confident it’ll be a great application.
    One of the unavoidable things you have to do with every new application is to write a lot of help [...]

  • Fontcase, an update

    It was on the 30th of June that Laurent Baumann and I launched the teaser page for a new application on fontcaseapp.com. We also promised we would disclose more information and since we’ve been making great progress for the past few weeks, we wanted to tell you about this.
    I’m no designer so I’ve watched in [...]

  • About Cocoa Categories

    It’s a nice coincidence that I wrote my previous post about a Category for NSManagedObjectContext and that a few hours later Brent Simmons would start a discussion about the use of categories. He got a few follow-ups, for example here, and Daniel Jalkut also twitted about it.
    Brent argues he used too many categories in the [...]

  • CoreData extensions

    As you might have read in other blog posts I’m spending all my time on the development Fontcase. I’ll only say it’s going great and we should have some news for you soon because this post is not really about Fontcase but about CoreData and non Cocoa-programmers can stop reading ;-).
    On a more technical note, [...]

  • Clang Static Analyzer again

    The Clang Static Analyzer is new tool (still in beta) which searches your code for memory leaks, bad references etcetera. Apparently it was a great novelty just when I was away on holiday so I missed all the excitement, but I read about it here and today I decided to try it for myself.
    I initially [...]
