Finally had a chance to put the finishing touches on a new design for this site. I’ve been thinking about this new design for about four months, and working on the actual code on and off for the past two weeks. The last time I redesigned was in April of 2010—nearly a year and a half ago. For me, that’s a personal record (I’ve redesigned this site 20 times in the past 6 years alone).
The focus this time around was:
A completely new thing for me: I based this design on a theme. I purchased the HIGH RES Theme by JSTN and used that as a base to customize and design on. I’ve been coveting the HIGH RES theme for months now and it was a lot of fun to make it my own.
In addition, I accidentally and shamelessly took Will’s idea for a rounded-avatar header. He claims he has forgiven me, but I’m not so sure.
Ego for iPad, Now 40% Cheaper
A new version of Ego for iPad (1.0.6) is now available in the App Store. This version adds support for multi-tasking in iOS 4.2 and also solves a small number of bugs with third-party services.
In addition, I’ve lowered the price of Ego for iPad by 40%. This isn’t a sale, it’s a permanent change. The app is more affordable than ever—now you can have Ego on both your iPhone/iPod Touch and your iPad for a total of less than five bucks. With support for eight different services, that’s a steal.
Ego 2.1.4 Now Available
I’m thrilled to announce a new version of Ego with all-new high resolution images for iPhone 4 is now available. In addition to graphics for the Retina display, this version of Ego contains the following fixes:
A new version of Ego for iPad was also released containing the above fixes, as well as a fix for Vimeo auto-login and better swiping detection. Go get ‘em!
Announcing Ego for iPad
I’m thrilled to announce Ego for iPad, now available in the App Store. This new version of Ego includes support for Tumblr, a system status notifier (so I can send messages about 3rd-party issues), and, best of all, a detail view which allows you to swipe right on a widget and automatically log into that site to view even more of your stats. Respond to mentions on Twitter, dig into your referrals in Mint and Google Analytics, browse your Tumblr dashboard—all from Ego!
Seth Clifford summed up my thoughts on Ego for iPad yesterday in a Twitter post: “Ego on iPhone was very cool. Ego on iPad feels fully realized.”
A new version of Ego for iPhone which adds Tumblr support and other features is in review with Apple and will hopefully be released soon.
Ego version 1.6
I’m pleased to announce version 1.6 of Ego is now available (iTunes link). This update includes a new widget type: Vimeo!
Vimeo is one of my favorite services. We use it for our sketch show, our short films—pretty much every bit of video we put online. Now I can track our plays, likes and comments, as well as subscribers right inside Ego.
Go get it already why don’t you?
In case you missed it last week, version 1.5 of Ego was released. It contains a new widget for Ember users. Check it out.
I just submitted version 1.6, which also features a new widget type. I’ll talk about that more when it gets approved.
After nearly three weeks (and a rejection), Apple has finally approved version 1.4.2 of Ego, which fixes issues with Google Analytics widgets and retires PageRank until Google allows that data to be accessed again.
It has been absolutely painful to wait this long to get a bugfix out to users, so I thank you for your patience. If you have a few minutes and you haven’t reviewed Ego, I’d sincerely appreciate it if you took a moment and rated it in the store.
Ego 1.4
The new version of Ego was finally approved by Apple. Version 1.4 includes a new widget for tracking Google PageRank™.
