I’m not a minimalist. By no stretch of the imagination is anything about my personality minimal, nor have I lived a life that indicates any of the discipline required to say “enough.” Take my workspace as a micro-example of my entire life.

I added a little hack to Fletcher Penney’s MultiMarkdown Quick Look generator to give it a default style (Github CSS) and allow for customization via a file located in your home folder. Full details and download available on Github.

I’ve been working tirelessly on Marked since 5pm on Friday. I’ve wrapped up fixing almost all of the bugs I’ve created in this development cycle, so I’ve been sprucing things up. I especially needed to revamp the “Welcome” popup for Marked’s upcoming release. I ripped off the design idea1 because I’m too tired to come up with anything cool by myself today. Besides, I really dig the way it came out. All CSS3, all the time:

For those who downloaded the original “Create Dropbox Collection” service and experienced errors, a new version has been posted (all download links updated). The issue was that if the files were in the root of the Public folder, it was trying to find a sub-path that wasn’t there. All patched up.

Markdown lovers rejoice, Byword for iOS is here! I’ve been beta testing it for a while now and it’s my new favorite way to write Markdown on my iPad. There’s also full iCloud (and Dropbox) sync with the desktop version, so the writing circle is complete (at least for me). For background, see some of my previous thoughts on Byword.

I wrote this Service a while ago for a friend who kept all of his mockups in Dropbox folders to share. He shared the public links to a group of people who didn’t all use Dropbox, so he’d spend a fair amount of time grabbing links and pasting them into emails. I made this to save him some time, but thought it might help a few of you out, too.

First and foremost, this is a total ripoff of an idea by Gabe Weatherhead over at Macdrifter. I just expanded on the idea a little bit.

Here’s a quick tip about two apps that I love: nvALT and Magic Launch. I’m not sure about the project status of Magic Launch, or how it will fare with Mountain Lion, but for now it’s one very useful app. This is more of a multi-tip than a review, but take it as you will.
