I’ve had a few really good coding days in a row here, which has meant not as much blogging this week. I figure Friday is a great time to offer a quick overview of how I manage coding projects with TaskPaper and a few command line scripts, since I’ve been doing a lot of that this week.

If I were better at marketing, I would have made sure I got Marked 2 into some roundups and spread this deal far and wide, but I’m busy and stressed out, and I’m bad at marketing when I’m busy and stressed out. So you get to read about it here.

I don’t promote a lot of bundles — at least relative to the number I get notified about — and I leave gathering the best Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals to the bigger sites. But Creatable happens to be really great at asking those of us who link them what we’d like to see offered, so I’m excited about this deal.
Thanks to Aaron Dowd for sponsoring BrettTerpstra.com this week and promoting his new Successful Podcasting online course! I’ve known Aaron since Systematic was on 5by5, where he was the audio editor. He’s a pro, with a bunch of videos on podcasting to his credit and years of experience in both creating and producing ‘casts. Take advantage of his expertise!

Unclutter has been around for a while now, and it’s just as intriguing to me as it was when it was released. It’s a utility that combines clipboard history, interim file management, and a notepad all in one app with a clever (and elegant) interface.

SearchLink is one of the tools I’ve created that I use almost every day, so I’ve added a few bindings for it to my KeyBindings project. These will insert the basic syntax for SearchLink input, and you can add custom bindings for custom searches.

Back in 2014 I created a little app that generates custom PopClip extensions. It broke on 10.13, so I’m updating it for the latest OS.

Because I’ve written about WALTR 2 previously, I wanted to mention it’s on sale with a 30% discount right now. WALTR 2 is the insanely fast tool for getting video and audio in any format (including FLAC and 4K) from your Mac to your iOS device’s audio/video collections. It works over USB or WiFi with just a drag and drop for automatic conversion and transfer.

Ooh, scary. The latest round of updates to iTextEditors saw a significantly higher number of deletions than additions. A purge of the chart to match The App Store Purge. Sad to see almost 20 editors go, but the list is trimmer now, and the good ones are easier to spot. Happy Halloween.
