I had Tim Stevens, former Editor in Chief of Engadget and currently an Editor at Large for CNET, as this week’s guest on Systematic. Tim and I have known each other for a while and worked together while he was at Engadget. He’s a great journalist and an even better human being.

Silvia Gatta and Federico Viticci comprise Icons & Coffee, which previously brought us the Perspective Icons set for OmniFocus. Now, they’ve launched Essence, an icon set for iOS 7 designers. It contains 300 icons created with the iOS 7 design sensibility, and comes with a generous license that makes it an ideal fit for app designers (and anyone looking to leverage the new look).

Thanks to notes from Jeremy Mack and die_krabbe, SearchLink is restored to its former glory, complete with a working iTunes API search for the Mac App Store. It’s also now Mavericks-compatible and should handle UTF-8 characters appropriately.

In order to be able to continue using the utter convenience that is SearchLink, I’ve switched (!mas) searches to use a Google site search instead.

I’m releasing Sidecar13 for Simplify today. It’s a smaller version of the original Sidecar jacket, which was designed for my 27” display.

Marked 2.1 will be out in the next week (free update for Marked 2 customers), featuring faster and more accurate document statistics. The detailed statistics view (Command-I) is vastly improved, and the word repetition visualization is a complete rewrite that works within the document instead of in an overlay, allowing keyword highlighting, standard navigation and table of contents to function while it’s enabled. Even refreshing after an edit is possible.
