The shiny new version of Cathodique is available! This release brings more features, removes clutter, and fixes bugs.

Here are the highlights:

Video formats popup

Instead of the “HD” button there’s a new popup that allows you to select SD, HD 720p or HD 1080p as preferred video format.

Sharing

Now you can quickly send a link to video to your friends and followers without copying and pasting it. With the new Share menu you can share video by email, in Twitter, Facebook, or Google Reader (including Google Buzz if your Reader and Buzz are connected).

Bookmarklet

Do you want an easy way to open videos in Cathodique from your web browser? Just put the bookmarklet into your browser’s bookmarks bar (click Cathodique > Install Bookmarklet or go to this page).

When you’re on YouTube, click the bookmarklet to open video in Cathodique. This also works with any page that has embedded video from YouTube (and if there’s no video, it will search for selected text).

It works with any modern browser (Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, etc).

Alternatively, you can drag and drop a link to YouTube video into the Dock icon to open it.

Recent Searches

Cathodique now saves your recent searches (and, of course, there’s a way to clear them).

To make user interface less cluttered, we’ve removed “Toggle Search Results” button. The feature is still there and is accessible via View > Toggle Search Results menu or using a keyboard shortcut (⌘B). We ♥ minimalism!

Download Cathodique 1.1 now (or click Cathodique > Check for Updates to install the new version using the built-in updater. ).

We are happy to announce the release of our new Mac product, Cathodique!

Cathodique is a simple standalone player for YouTube videos. Just type in a few words into a search box and press Return to quickly receive search results in an uncluttered sidebar as thumbnails (with clip title, rating, and duration), and double-click the video you want to watch.

Cathodique is based on QuickTime framework, so it uses less CPU power than Flash. It also allows you to view videos in full screen mode (with translucent, floating controls).

Try it out now!

(Requires Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.)

We are really excited to announce our new product, ScreenSketcher!

ScreenSketcher is a tool for creating quick and dirty wireframes of user interfaces and UI prototypes. You can use it to draw mockups of anything that can appear on computer screen such as a window, a web page, and so on. ScreenSketcher has 34 ready-to-use elements that you can put into your mock-ups, including menus and Ribbon-style toolbars. It’s a native Windows application.

The product was originally created by Jacob Thurman, the author of the popular Delphi add-on Castalia. The first version has been released about a year ago. Jacob was too busy with his well established business, so we acquired ScreenSketcher and we will continue developing it.

We’re aware of a few products in this market, like Balsamiq Mockups and some web-based applications. We think our key strength is that ScreenSketcher is a native Windows application, so it launches fast and runs smoothly, and doesn’t force you to store your private data on servers that you don’t control.

In the future we plan to add more ready-to-use elements and more properties for them. Please let us know if you have any questions or ideas about this product.

This version includes improvements to Jacob’s 1.0 version; here’s a list of changes for those familiar with the previous version:

• New logo.
• Now it fills most elements inner space.
• Added ability to change element’s key property by double clicking.
• Fixed the elements bar folding bug.

The development of BlogJet 2.5 is progressing nicely, and we’re happy to announce a new beta version.

What’s new

• Live Spelling, and a lot of spelling options (including auto correction)

• Fixed not remembering window position and size.

• Fixed overwriting custom HTML/JavaScript settings for BlogJetThis! when installing.

• Fixed treating punctuation as spelling errors.

Special thanks to Jack Vinson and other testers for reporting many of these bugs.

Known Issues

We’ll address the following issues in one of the next beta versions:

• Embedded Flash video clips (including YouTube) appear as black boxes (affects only appearance in editor, posting works well).

Development and Next Releases

Now that we released 2.5 beta, the transition to a new code base (with most core parts completely rewritten) and a new development environment is done, so we’re ready to continuously improve BlogJet and release new versions faster.

BlogJet Beta Forum

We’re starting to be more open about BlogJet development, and replacing the closed beta forum with an open one. Please join us in BlogJet Beta Forum. You can report bugs in beta versions there.

Happy New Year! Enjoy the new BlogJet!

One of the updates to Firefox 3.5 broke BlogJetThis! extension: it worked only once, and after that Firefox showed an error (NS_ERROR_ALREADY_INITIALIZED).

We have updated the extension. You can download it from BlogJetThis! support page.

Thanks to everyone who reported the issue!

We are happy to announce a small bug-fix release of BlogJet. It fixes connection issues with some Blogger blogs, and includes an updated extension for Firefox 3.x.

We’d like to apologize for not releasing the fix for Blogger issue earlier. We were transitioning our code base to an updated development environment and rewriting core parts of the program, thus changes on Blogger’s servers caught us in an unfortunate time.

Enjoy the new build, and expect more to come in the not-so-distant future!

You can download the new version from http://www.codingrobots.com/blogjet/download/. There’s no need to update if you didn’t have issues described above.
