TOKYO (MacHouse) – The other day, I was looking at some desktop applications at AppShopper. And I ran across an application named Rainbow, which made me think to myself “Hmm… A desktop application for creating a rainbow?” Actually, it is not. I guess it’s a desktop application that comes with several graphic filters. So I thought to myself “Can I develop a desktop application for creating a rainbow?” Why not? I thought I could do it in the same way I developed TextAround2. As a result, I submitted a new desktop application to Mac App Store several hours ago. This new software submission is called Oh My Rainbow.

You’ve just created a rainbow. And you are just a couple of steps away from saving your rainbow as a picture.

TOKYO (MacHouse) – There was a desktop application called ViewSQL Pro that was distributed through Apple‘s Mac App Store till a few years ago. Personally, I still use it to examine SQLite data though it’s outdated. It’s stable and runs under Yosemite with no problem. It’s a pity that it doesn’t let you alter records. Hmm… Maybe, I can upgrade ViewSQL Pro. So I’ve spent the last 10 days or so working on a major upgrade. I’ve also changed the name. What I submitted to Mac App Store several hours ago is called FireSQL 3.
