Nominally, this is about making your iOS apps smaller, but it's actually a great piece on how to think about software design and production.

Marc's list of portable music apps for the end of the year. Filed away.

Really impressive: audiomux/midimux let you send audio and MIDI to and from iOS devices over a lightning cable. Which eliminates all manner of cable tangles, for starters.

Oh, awesome: a Pinboard Share extension for iOS 8.

Chunky has replaced Comicflow as CBR/CBZ reader of choice. It's really nicely made.

This is a good explanation of how to get sharp Canvas-based rendering on iOS browsers. It was on Posterous, so the only way to get at it was this archive.org page. Sigh.

A great post on the detailed design of an iOS app; I particularly like the focus on animatics, and also on rearranging the screen rather than always swiping to a new one; it's a thing I've sketched before.

"Prototype iPhone apps with simple HTML, CSS and JS components." Looks nice; also, lovely splash site.

"Hammer.js is a javascript library that can be used to control gestures on touch devices." Very nice. And: it has a jQuery plugin, too.

Sunrizer - basically, a tiny JP8000 clone.

Two-player game designed to encourage awkward/fun bodily contact. Well, finger-contact. Really lovely idea: the sort of thing shared screens are designed for.

List of all 58 fonts now in iOS, mainly for reference. (Although, eesh, Zapfino AND Papyrus? Really?)

"It's a debugger for web pages, like FireBug (for FireFox) and Web Inspector (for WebKit-based browsers), except it's designed to work remotely, and in particular, to allow you debug web pages on a mobile device such as a phone." Blimey. That's, um, remarkably useful. Duly noted.

"To keep up with trends, we've developed some iPhone stencils and sketchsheets that'll make the lo-fi stage of development a lot quicker." Passable iOS wireframe templates - but at least they're wireframey, rather than irritating pixel-perfect stencils that are all-too-easy to come by.

"Prototypes for Mac turns your flat mockup images into tappable and sharable prototypes that run on iPhone or iPod touch." Nice.

Tom on writing the Noticings Uploader - and making the code open-source.
