Gmail done right?
So I got Mailplane.app exactly 30 days ago. (I know because my trial expires today) I’ve been using it and I love the approach of putting GMail in it’s own app, but I’ve found I’m really not using any of Mailplane’s built-in features except for multiple accounts. That was the main reason I downloaded it. So time to bash.
(Note: if your lazy/TL;DR, basically, just...
Pandorium: 1.0 RC
Just a quick update on Pandorium, moved it to release candidate. Works really well now.
Keeps Media Keys reliably till the app is closed
Added the Pandora logo at the top of the window (looks better)
Switched over to using key’s vs mouse clicks internally
To-Do:
Pandora has key support for a good amount of things, maybe allow those to be mapped to hot-keys in the preferences
Again,...

Pandorium: Pandora done right!
If you guys have been keeping up with my twitter, you’ve known about my work on Pandorium. Well a long time later (but surprisingly only a couple days of work later), i’m ready to release an initial version.
It’s essentially a wrapper for Pandora.com, it keeps it as a stand-a-lone app, and adds Apple Media Key support. This is more a temporary fix as I hope Pandora makes a...
QuickReply is depreciated, not dead, depreciated.
Everyone’s been wondering what’s going on with QuickReply for SMS. It’s buggy, old, and the matter of fact is it’s depreciated. As of today, I’m dropping full support for QuickReply but have no plans to remove it entirely. I have already talked to saurik, so my decision is final. To mediate the fact that I don’t support it anymore, I’m making it free. If...

ColorPanel 1.0 - finally
This has been sitting in my local repository for a really long time. I don’t know why I’ve taken so long to release it. Just lack of time I guess. Anyway, it’s - another - standalone Apple ColorPicker app. Here’s the link if you don’t care about my little story, no harm done. ;) http://github.com/gauravk92/ColorPanel
These seem to be cropping up as-of-late.

CSS3 Ads Versus Flash Ads →
webkitbits:
My workmates at Sencha have created some excellent examples of CSS3 ads, based directly on current Flash ads. While they will only render in WebKit-based browsers, you can see they are actually more performant and smoother than their Flash counterparts.

Why does UISearchDisplayController suck!?
I’ve been working recently on a project that uses search. Not filtering, mind you, search! I’ve come to the conclusion that UISearchDisplayController is a bitch. Excuse my language but developers aren’t the most patient people anyway.
So why does it suck? Because it doesn’t perform search. It performs filtering but has search in it’s name wrongly! Many other sources...
