It’s been a while since I’ve written about a weather app here on Beautiful Pixels and I was almost starting to miss writing about the lovely hellish weather in Mumbai. I’ve had Meteo installed on my iPhone for about four months now, so I figured it’d be a good idea to start with it today.

Letterboxd is a social network and community that revolves around films and film enthusiasts. It is a fantastic resource for anyone who is into movies and offers the ability to look up information about films, create and maintain your own ‘to watch’, ’watched’ or custom lists, find and follow friends who share the same tastes in movies and also write reviews or read the ones submitted by others.

At the same time, the Ulysses developers also treated us with Ulysses for iPad, a brand new app that completely replaced the aging Daedalus Touch iOS app. Today, a year after it’s iOS…

fournova Software, the makers of the popular Git desktop app Tower are running this interesting survey for developers who use a Mac. It doesn’t matter if you’re a iOS, Mac, Android or Web developer, as long as you use a Mac to do your work, you can participate in this survey. Then you can help us find out who we are as a community: What technologies do we work with? Which tools do we use? And, maybe most importantly, which super hero rules?! The devs running the survey have also tied up with some notable names such as The Iconfactory,…
