Apple officially released iOS 7 on September 18th, 2013, less than a week ago. Love the icons or hate them, the OS as a whole feels much more refined and much better to use (as long as you’re not on an iPad) and is already seeing great adoption statistics.

Cloud-based writing is already a pretty crowded space. On one hand, you have big players like Google Drive and Office 365 offering you full fledged office suites on web & mobile devices and on the other hand, there’s Editorially, which just wants you to write better. The service has been available in private beta for a few months now, but recently opened their doors to the public, letting anyone sign up for an account and try the service out. Once you’re logged in, you are presented with an overview of all your documents, who owns them, their state (Draft, Review,…
We’ve been hard at work on the new design for Beautiful Pixels and have made some great progress with it. We have also been working on a reworked backend for our Platter that gives us a much better control over the posts and styling.

The buzzword for this past week was “RSS”, wasn’t it? Google’s all set to shutdown Google Reader tomorrow and RSS app developers on every platform have been scrambling to either offer their own solution or integrate all the new RSS services. Many names have been heard over the last few days, like Feed Wrangler (you should try Feed Rango with it), Feedbin, Digg Reader, Fever, Feedly, Bulletin, Newsblur or even Aol Reader. We’re sure most of you have already chosen your apps by now, so we’re not going to bore you with RSS app recommendations. Instead, we have our weekly…
