CreativeBits’ first Cocoa app: twindow

I love stuff like
this. Ivan over at
CreativeBits, a blog mainly about graphic design and filled with Photoshop tips, has been tempted by the ease of Xcode to make a new program.  twindow (48kb direct download link) is a simple double-browser "based on the AppleWebKit. It has two windows side by side, it can run full screen and has no buttons or bars except the place to type the URL. All functions are keyboard shortcuts and you can control both windows from the keyboard without changing the focus between windows with your cursor."

On the topic of being a coding n00b and using Xcode, Ivan comments, "Some of my PS2 game menus are harder to figure out than Xcode." That's a pretty nice endorsement of the program. The wide-eyed kid in me thinks it's great that one day we'll all be able to easily make our own programs to fulfill software needs or wants.  Apple has paved the way for that with Xcode.  The cynical old man in me, however, thinks that one day we'll have
all our innovative new programs absorbed by the next Mac OS
iteration.  Apple has paved the way for that with Xcode. ;-)
