You saw a sneak peak of it a few days ago; however, the real deal is live on the AppStore now!
We’re very proud of Reader and we use it everyday (It saved the day this weekend when I was trapped in the airport with delays!) Take a look at the product on our website here.
Anyone interested in writing a review of Reader should drop us a line, and we’ll be glad to provide you with an evaluation copy.

1 year agoIf you haven’t updated already, be sure to grab the latest version of Groundwork (1.1.1) on AppStore! (AppStore Link)
Groundwork 1.1.1 Changes:
Our second (actually third, we’re still waiting on Apple to approve the App we submitted in the beginning of December) iPhone App should hit AppStore early next week and it’s called Reader.
Reader is enormego’s try at an awesome ATOM/RSS feed reader. As you can expect, Reader is like everything else we do, it has a kick-ass user interface, it’s simple to use, and at the end of the day: it just works.
I’m not going to bore you with everything that Reader does, but here’s a few of the key features:
And here’s what you can expect to see when it finally arrives:
We’ve rolled out a new service today called “Snippie” (snippie.net).
Snippie is a pasteboard service geared towards developers inspired by Josh Goebel’s Pastie, however, it’s fully integrated with QuickShareIt.
QuickShareIt has had primitive pasteboard functionality for almost a year now, but Snippie takes things to the next level.
When highlighting a block of code and dragging and dropping it into the QuickShareIt icon, QuickShareIt and Snippie will attempt to detect what language you’re using and provide a Snippie link with syntax highlighted code in return, instead of the usual QuickShareIt link.
Snippie is also 100% private, there’s no need to check off a box to make sure the whole world doesn’t see your code.
Stay tuned for more great QuickShareIt features and speed improvements soon!
1 year agoWe’ve submitted a minor update of Groundwork to Apple for review, barring any delays due to the holidays, this should be on AppStore on Wednesday.
Here’s the change we made:
And here’s a preview of the new messages:
Today we released QuickShareIt 2.1! (You can get it here.)
This new version is a tremendous release for QSI users and we think you’ll all love it. A lot has changed under the hood, but here are the notable items:
New: Added Screenshot shortcut
Fixed: Lots of bug fixes to improve overall stability
Updated: Removed BSD Subsystem Dependencies
Updated: Removed CURL Dependencies
Updated: QSI now takes advantage of 10.5 specific technologies to better performance
Updated: Improved Recent Shares window, you can now right click on an item to bring up the options menu, less clutter.
Updated: Server communication switched to RESTful API
This version also marks the end of our support for the OS X 10.4 Tiger. OS X Tiger users SHOULD NOT upgrade to 2.1 as it is built to work on OS X Leopard Only. 2.0.3 was the last version that we matined for Tiger and we made sure to make QuickShareIt’s new server API backwards compatible for the older versions.
Now that that’s out of the way, let’s talk about the greatest new feature: Quick Screenshots. Once you have QuickShareIt 2.1 installed, pop open the preferences window and look for this at the bottom of the “General” tab:
Check off “Automatically upload” and select “Set Hot Key”.
Choose your “Hot Key”, here’s mine:
Click “OK”, and exit the preference window.
Now, anytime you want to take a screenshot, just do that key combo, and you’ll be presented with a cross-hair. Click and select the portion of the screen that you’d like to upload, and as soon as you let go, your upload will begin.
Just like any other “quick share”, in a few seconds, a URL will be returned to you.
We hope everyone loves this new version and we look forward to your comments!

1 year agoI just realized that I hadn’t posted to the blog in a while and I figured I’d write a “catch up” post.
We’re still waiting on Apple’s approval for the application that we gave you a sneak peak (ok, barely a peak) of last week. Things seem to be taking a bit longer than we’d like; however, hopefully things will pick up soon and that app will go live on AppStore.
In the meantime, we’ve been working on another great iPhone application and also something completely different that has nothing to do with the iPhone or the AppStore.
We’re rounding out the finishing touches on the new iPhone application and we hope to have it submitted to the AppStore by the end of the week. Once we submit it, we’ll post a bit about it. If anyone is interested in reviewing the new iPhone application, please contact us, we’ll be glad to provide you with a free copy to evaluate. Be sure to include your UDID in the message.
As I said before, our other project is very different. The project actually spawned from the creation of this iPhone application. It’s basically a web application built to work with Amazon’s Web Services platform and it is targeted at other developers who’d like to take advantage of the awesome AWS technologies. I don’t want to say much more until we’re complete; however, we’ll be offering it for free as a public beta and it should be live in the next 2-3 weeks.
We’re also wrapping up our testing of the new version of QuickShareIt and we should be releasing it soon. The new QSI has some great features and has been re-built from the ground up. Best of all, it’s 100x more stable than the previous version.
Be sure to subscribe to our RSS feed so you can stay up to date on all things enormego.

1 year agoI just wanted to let everyone know that Groundwork 1.1 is now live on the AppStore. We hope everyone loves the new version. We think it’s a great improvement over 1.0.

1 year agoWe submitted Groundwork 1.1 to Apple for review this morning. You should see it available on AppStore in the next couple of days (assuming all goes well). Groundwork 1.1 is a free update to all Groundwork users.
Here are the changes:
Here’s a shot at the new Global Overview:

1 year agoWe’re finally finished with our ToDo overhaul (well, aside from re-ordering, but that’s not a huge priority at the moment).
Once you put ToDo’s into “Edit” mode, the checkboxes (circles?) slide out and in slides the delete circles:
From here, you can go ahead and delete a ToDo Item, or tap it go to slide into the Edit window:
We’re right on schedule to have this on App Store around Wednesday as we’re finishing up our last round of testing and submitting to Apple tonight or tomorrow morning.
We had originally hoped to have an update out last Wednesday, but we definitely feel the extra week will be well worth the wait!

1 year agoWe promised we’d fix ToDo’s, and here’s the latest screenshot of the current development build:
We’re hoping to have this out the gate by Monday night and probably on the AppStore by Wednesday, but those are some big assumptions. More info coming soon!

1 year agoOne of the big features that we left out when releasing Groundwork last week was the Dashboard feature. We wanted a bit more time to perfect it, and I think our time spent has paid off. Here’s a preview of what should be on the AppStore very shortly:
After releasing Groundwork publicly and hearing commentary from the community, we realized that we missed some major things the first time around. The biggest one seems to be the lack of a way to assign responsibility for “ToDo items” and the second biggest is the inability to see which client is attached to which project. This caused a few problems for some of our users; but don’t worry, we heard you! We’re putting the finishing touches on a new update that fixes these two big problems as well as a few others that we noticed people were having. Once we finalize the update, we’ll post a complete change log.
A big thanks goes out to all of our supporters!
