Illuminate 1.1 is out now. It’s a small feature update including:
Support for cycling through tabs, although its currently limited to Safari tabs. As you’re cycling through windows, the tabs will appear beneath the windows.
A complete, in application help file explaining all the features Illuminate provides.
A new front end application to manage the preferences. This prevents the preferences window from getting lost behind all the other windows. It also now shows up in Illuminate itself.
Today I completed the acquisition of another small software company, Creastoric. If you don’t know, Creastoric was the creator of Log Leech, an application that has an innovative way of viewing and navigating system logs. If you’re the kind of person who needs to deal with logs, I encourage you to check it out.
I think the product (as a system utility) fits well with my existing Mac product, Illuminate. Both are kind of power user products, and I’m hoping there is some overlap in the audience. Either way, it’s exciting to see my product portfolio expand. I have a lot planned for Log Leech and Illuminate.
Anyway, you can get all the details of the acquisition in the press release.
I’ve been hard at work on Fortunate Bear’s next product, but I wanted to lift my head long enough to give a quick preview of what I’m working on. Keep in mind, it’s very early in development and maybe 20% (if that) of the features are done. But without further ado:
(Video is HTML 5, so you’ll need a recent browser.)
As a bonus you get to see my fantastical art skills. The codename for the project is Vectorspring, and I hope to be showing off more as it progresses.
