Interview with the GoSquared Team

As a part of the MacStories Apps Tree event (where you’ll find a huge giveaway worth $10.000 of 450 Mac and iPhone apps licenses), I had the chance to interview the team of GoSquared. GoSquared provides the amazing tool called LiveStats (which I use on daily base) that enables you to watch your website’s traffic flow in real time. I heard they were also working on new stuff, so I decided to send them some questions and they’ve been so kind to reply with long and interesting responses, for one of the best interviews I’ve had in a long time.

This is the 5th of many interviews and guest posts I’ll publish on MacStories during this week.

Enjoy!

Iconic Design

As a part of the MacStories Apps Tree event (where you’ll find a huge giveaway worth $10.000 of 450 Mac and iPhone apps licenses), I thought it would be interesting to hear the voice of Mac designers and developers about the steps that go into desigining and developing an application for Mac OS X. Or an application’s icon.

This is a guest post by Anthony Piraino, designer at the Iconfactory.

Have a good read.

As a part of the MacStories Apps Tree event (where you’ll find a huge giveaway worth $10.000 of 300 Mac and iPhone apps licenses), I thought it would be nice to hear the voice of Mac developers about the steps that go into desigining and developing an application for Mac OS X.

This is the first guest post by Pieter Omvlee, developer of Fontcase. Fontcase is a beautiful font manager that enables the users to manage a font library with elegance. Read my review if you missed it.

Designing a Tablet Newspaper Application

This is one of the most interesting “I would make the Apple Tablet like this” post I’ve recently stumbled upon. Kyle Baxter from TightWind shares his thoughts about what he would like to see most in the tablet: newspapers. But instead of just converting the current newspapers layouts to the tablet screen, Kyle designed two mockups which show a revamped interface for the NYT, made of a top toolbar for easy navigation and a very few UI elements. I personally don’t think the Apple Tablet will be exclusively focused on saving the press industry, I believe there will be a built-in News.app, which will actually save both the press and RSS industry.

And if there’ll be a News app, I’d like to see a similar interface.
