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. ).

Announcing New Product: ScreenSketcher

February 25, 2010 by Dmitry

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.
