What did you ship in 2010?

Inspired by Seth's post, here's what I shipped in 2010:

• Roadfire Software
• iFonts 1.0, 1.1, 1.2
• Two talks at Barcamp Bangkok on iOS
• blockBUZZter 1.0 & 1.1
• Chiang Mai mobile meetup
• Similac Baby Journal 1.0
• Roadfire blog, website, Facebook page
• Nationwide Mobile 2.1
• 42 blog posts + this one

I can't take full credit for all of these - I worked on great teams for blockBUZZter, Similac Baby Journal, and Nationwide Mobile. The talks and mobile meetup couldn't have happened without people showing up. And my wife has been a huge part of Roadfire Software, encouraging me to start the company and taking care of a lot of paperwork.

I'm sure you shipped something this year. What was it?

blockBUZZter 1.1!

The updates I made to blockBUZZter for BUZZWOO! just made it to the App Store! You'll be happy to know that blockBUZZter has English support now, so if you were hesitant before because the game was only available in German, hesitate no more! Version 1.1 also has OpenFeint achievements, so there are interesting goals besides just getting a high score. It's still free, so go get it!

The story behind iFonts

I needed the list of available fonts in iOS to send to my designer. I searched the web and found that there are lots of iOS font lists out there (iosfonts.com, blog posts, Stack Overflow), but who knows if they're up-to-date or were ever right in the first place? At some point, every one of them will be forgotten, neglected, and become obsolete. I wanted to be absolutely certain that the list I sent to my designer was correct for the latest version of iOS. iFonts guarantees that - it uses public APIs to determine the available fonts, so you know you're getting the current list when you run it on your device. Most importantly, it has a handy email feature to send the list to a designer or developer. No need to bookmark a web page. No need to create a list on your computer that'll quickly become obsolete. Just run iFonts and you instantly have the list that's guaranteed to be up-to-date for your version of iOS. It's that simple.

iFonts Price Change

Inspired by this article, we've changed the price for iFonts from free to 99 cents. iFonts is a valuable app - it's a great way to email the list of available iOS fonts to a developer or designer - so it's worth the 99 cents it now costs.

Get it on the App Store.
