Greetings, everyone! It's been a little while, but I have finally released another PDF Toolbox update! This update adds a handy new feature, gets rid of a few useless ones, and significantly improves the user experience. What's new: Blank PDF options: One handy feature of PDF Toolbox is the ability to create blank PDFs. Now, you can change the page size and orientation, not just the number of pages! Conversion page removal: I have removed the conversion page. This is because most of the conversion tools weren't very useful, and they kind of just added clutter. UI improvements: I have made the UI look and feel quite a bit nicer and much more consistent. Bug fixes and other tweaks: Perhaps most importantly, I have fixed a lot of bugs! I have also made a number of other improvements behind the scenes to improve the user experience. You can download PDF Toolbox v1.5 from the Windows page   on my site. I hope you like it!

Hey, everyone! January is here, and I have exciting plans for this month. Here are some of the things I hope to work on this month: iOS development If you follow me over on Twitter, you may have seen my recent post about getting my first Mac (a late 2014 Mac mini). It can run the latest version of Xcode, so I'm excited to say that I have started working on my first iOS app! Unfortunately, I probably won't be able to release it for a little while. At the time I'm writing this, I am completely new to Swift and Xcode, so I have a lot to learn before I can release my first app. However, I do hope to spend a lot of time learning the basics or iOS development this month! binoc update I also hope to work on an update for the Android version of binoc this month. It probably won't be a huge update, but I do have some pretty exciting plans for binoc in the coming months! PDF Toolbox v1.5 It's been a little while since I last updated one of my Windows programs. If

Hi, everyone. I am excited to announce that I have released the first update for one of my apps in 2021! As you might have expected, the app receiving the update is Violoncello. So, in this post, I'll be going over what's new in Violoncello 1.4. Revamped Bookmarks One of the main things this update introduces is a much-improved bookmarks system! It's a lot more intuitive now, and it's certainly a big upgrade. Multi-Window Support One thing I had been meaning to add was support for multi-window mode in Android. This could certainly be helpful, especially on some foldable phones where there's more space to spread things out. Pinch-to-Zoom This is another feature that I had been hoping to add for a while, as it's quite useful! It's enabled by default now, but you can disable it if you want. Updated Icons I have updated some of the app's icons. Squashing Some Bugs Finally, I have fixed some bugs. The Conclusion Violoncello 1.4 is an update that makes a lot o

Hey, everybody! Well, here we are again. I am very, very sorry about switching platforms once more, but WordPress just wasn't working out for me. As a result, this is once again where new blog posts will appear. Unless I absolutely have to switch again, I hope to use Blogger for the foreseeable future.

Happy New Year's Eve, everyone! To celebrate the end of this miserable year, I have decided to release an update for one of my less important projects at the moment: ComplimentMe! This isn't by any means a minor update, either. I've redesigned a bunch of icons, significantly improved the UI, and have made some other important tweaks and fixes. Overall, I think the app looks a lot nicer now! Here it is! I feel that the updated user interface is much more pleasant, modern, and inviting. I have started rolling out this ComplimentMe update (2.0) to production. At the time I'm writing this, it has not been approved yet, and at the moment, it seems to be taking longer than usual for this to happen. I imagine this may be due to the holidays, so this update may not be available until 2021. However, when it does get approved, you'll be able to get it from the Play Store . Anyway, thanks for reading! I hope you all have a happy new year and stay safe. Extra Note: Yesterday, I

Hello, everybody! Please forgive me for the horrible joke, but it does kind of make sense in the case of SpeechLab Wear. I believe I released it at the beginning of October, but it's not really gotten any attention since then. That is, until now! I am pleased to share that I have finally released an update for SpeechLab Wear. It's not the most exciting update ever, but it does make a few nice improvements. The main thing this update adds is the introduction of icons for each of the quick phrases. I've also fixed some minor bugs in this release. Again, this isn't a particularly huge update. You can get the latest version of SpeechLab Wear from the Play Store . I hope you like it!

Hello, everyone. I’m excited to say that my BlackBerry OS apps have finally been released! Writing them hasn’t been easy due to some unforeseen issues, but I’m pretty pleased with the end result: two handy BBOS applications. In this post, I’ll be going over both of them and what they do. Special Characters Need to find a special character that can’t be accessed in the symbol menu? Special Characters conveniently categories a bunch of special characters and makes it easy to copy them to your clipboard! Circle Calculator Easily find the circumference, radius, diameter, and area of a circle on your BlackBerry OS device! Other handy features include a log and the ability to change the approximation of Pi. Wrapping things up... You can find these apps on the new  BlackBerry OS  page. I hope you like them!
