    Introducing SpiralKit

    After several very successful releases of our iPhone handwriting-based notepad application, Spiral by Digital Generalists, we have decided to release the drawing engine for Spiral as an open source framework.

    What Is SpiralKit

    SpiralKit is a Quartz 2D-based drawing framework for iOS written in Objective-C. The framework enables ‘drawing’ on a UIView in iOS and ships with pen, highlighter, and eraser drawing effects.

    The framework is built specifically to enable new effects, color spaces, and drawing algorithms in a modular fashion. If you want to provide a unique drawing effect, support of the CMYK color space, or a custom drawing algorithm, you can add such features to SpiralKit without having to modify the fundamental components of the framework.

    Where to Find It

    The project is hosted on GitHub at https://github.com/digital-generalists/spiralkit.

    More Information

    See the framework documentation for all information on using SpiralKit in your application.

  • The Next Best Thing to Being There

    We received a big surprise a few days ago in our email.  The organizers at 360|iDev decided to release all of the video recording from this year’s conference for free.

    You can stream them from here.

    In years past, 360|Conferences have charged for the session recordings, so having them released for free this soon after the conference is a very cool thing.  If you couldn’t attend 360|iDev, couldn’t attend every session you wanted to, or simply want to review that awesome session that had just too much information to absorb the first time around, you now have a second chance.

    If you like the videos, spread the word around the web and be sure to give a big thanks to John and Nicole while you’re at it. Enjoy.
