Hog Bay Software is looking for input on their upcoming product, FoldingText. It’s in a relatively early beta state, but it has some serious potential as a Markdown editor.

I’ve been working a bit on Marky the Markdownifier. It’s a project I started back in 2010 and use regularly, but it’s never really caught on with the Markdown masses. I’ve tweaked the algorithms and added to the API to make Marky as useful as possible within my own workflow, and hopefully within other’s as well.

Just in case you missed it, Marked is $1.99 today for Two Dollar Tuesdays. The organizers were kind enough to let me in despite a rule that featured apps have to be over $9.99 regular price. It’s still 50% off, so (if you don’t already have it) grab it while it’s hot!

WWDC 2012 is coming to a close. I’m tired, but this week has been great, and exactly what I look forward to all year. See, I don’t go to WWDC, I bum around on the outskirts, blogging, meeting devs, seeing apps and drinking beers with great people.

I left a comment in response to a note from the Ulysses guys on my “dream Markdown editor” piece. It just said “I want a beta.” They let me know they heard me by publishing the quote on their devblog. Today, they gave me a beta, and a hilarious T-shirt:

One day into WWDC and I already have a couple of clandestine software previews lined up. For an app junky like me, that’s a sweet score. I’ll be sure to get the minimum embargo information and let you all know as much as I can about the previews I get.

I’m heading to WWDC today. I’m going as blogger and tech support for Engadget and TUAW, but I’m hoping to have free time to hang out with all the cool bloggers and devs, especially later in the week after the fervor surrounding Monday dies down a little. I’m around through Friday; if you want to grab a bite/drink and haven’t already contacted me, let me know!
