Mike Lee on Tapulous
Ars Technica: “Tapulous hopes to show the upcoming swaths of iPhone developers that you don’t have to work for a huge company with a huge budget in order to be successful and create kickass products. ‘I wouldn’t say we’re hoping to lead the community per se, but we definitely want to help build it and shape it into the kind of friendly, respectful, and cooperative environment that the Mac has enjoyed,’ Lee told us.”

SenseArray Filtering Gives You Stories Based on Your Preferences
NewsGator Daily: “Beginning today, NewsGator has enhanced its ability to offer users great stories from feeds that they haven’t seen. We have partnered with Uprizer Labs, whose SenseArray collaborative filtering software is able to provide recommended stories based on users’ own preferences.”
In NewsGator Online, for now, not in the client products — but it’s a great idea.

Port Map and TCMPortMapper
TheCodingMonkeys: “Some times you want to access your computers at home from anywhere in the world. Be it the web server on your home server, the file sharing on your desktop machine or a remote login to your parent’s computer to support them doing their work. This is where the application ‘Port Map’ might come handy.” (New software from the SubEthaEdit folks.)
Side note: check out the screenshot and note how iPhone-style On/Off widgets appear in the app. I’ve also seen this in VPN Tracker. I wonder if we’ll see it in more apps, and if it will become a standard part of the Mac user interface.

FileMaker Bento
Red Sweater Blog: “Today FileMaker, a wholly owned subsidiary of Apple, best known for its professional database products, entered the indie software market.”
The first thing I thought of when I saw the name Bento was OpenDoc. (But this has nothing to do with OpenDoc.)

New Apple-related books
CARS: “While other book series by other ‘authors’ attempt to ‘inform’ you about ‘features’ and ‘ways’ you can use software or hardware ‘products,’ the Take Control of the Missing Manual for Dummies books will encourage you to let your id run amok through a vast technological landscape formed by people who actually do something for a living instead of living in their parents’ basement like you do.”

Huevos now Universal
Huevos 1.1.1 released!
It’s now a universal binary—and it’s one of those apps that really only took clicking a checkbox to make it universal. Piece of cake.
Huevos was my first Cocoa app. I was learning Cocoa by reading the first edition of Aaron Hillegass’s excellent Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X. I couldn’t wait—I started writing Huevos before I even finished the book! (This was way back in early 2002.)
Which is also a way of saying that the code in Huevos looks like beginner’s code. But that’s okay—because it also works. I’ve hardly ever had bug reports for Huevos. (I mention the code because it’s open source and you can actually download the code.)
For this release I didn’t touch the code, just rebuilt it as a universal binary.
(In case you’ve never seen Huevos: it’s a search-engine launcher that’s designed to be entirely keyboard-driven. You may be familiar with waffle software’s very cool Nuevos, which is based on Huevos.)

NewsGator REST API
Greg Reinacker: “We now have both SOAP and REST versions of the NewsGator Online API available. The SOAP version has been around for a while, and is used by our own products. The REST version is brand new, is documented here, and enters a public beta today.”
NetNewsWire uses the NewsGator Online API (of course)—it uses some SOAP calls and some REST calls. (I’d convert entirely to using the REST version, stop using SOAP entirely, were it not for the fact that you don’t fix what ain’t broke.)

The True Story of Audion
Panic: “I mean, do you ever wonder about the stories behind everyday products? What names were Procter & Gamble considering before they finally picked “Swiffer”? (Springle? Sweepolio? Dirtrocker?)”
