Episode 18 - We Cut Myke

This episode was brought you you by Phraseology, an iPad app for writers.

This week’s episode is hosted by Josh and Stephen Hackett as Myke is off chilling somewhere on holidays.

 

Show Notes:

Clear, a new-age ToDo list app for your iPhone. 

ToDo was built by Impending, but it’s not out just yet, so keep an eye on the news for its release.

We chat quickly about gestures on iOS, and how users are expected to know intuitively what gestures do what. Kinda like splitting a clip in iMovie for iOS.

Scorekeepr XL (AppStore), make sure you download the app with XL in the title. The app is a great way to keep score during your board game sessions. It’s free.

CloudFlare not only hosts your DNS, but it also provides a ton of services to protect your server, and extend your Web site. 

Pingdom, it’s for your iPhone (AppStore), but the service is a web app. The web app pings your website and makes sure that the site is still responding. It’ll send out an SMS message, or notification  if your service is down and no longer responding.

Stephen loves Launch Center, and now, we he doesn’t mean  Launchpad. Essentially it’s what you would think Spotlight for iOS would do. It quick launches applications, and triggers actions all from within an app.

If you like Stephen, you can get more of his stuff on Twitter, The Ungeniused Podcast, and on his website.

By the way, Cody Fink absolutely destroyed Myke at Super Crate Box. He won the contest, so huge congrats goes out to him.
