Yet another cool open source control from Pete Steinberger. PSPushPopPressView lets y...

As you might have spotted, we recently ran a quick survey on the website (huge thanks to everyone who completed it!)

As a token of our appreciation for doing so, we gave away some rather nice looking sets of icons, from IconK.it. Well, it turns out we rather liked them as well, so we’re delighted to announce that we’ve now bought the set, and it’s available for sale exclusively on Cocoa Controls for just $15.

So, if you’re after a good-looking set of 450 i...

Howdy folks – We’ve seen some great new stuff posted to the site this week, all of which will be described in more detail with Tuesday’s roundup post (or, Monday, for those of you on the mailing list).

Today, I want to highlight one particular control that I think is really awesome: Javier Berlana’s KeyBurnsView. This control lets you create a slideshow that uses a Ken Burns effect to transition between ...

You can sign up for the mailing list by heading over to the

Howdy folks – We’re starting something different as of this week. Weekly roundups will be posted on Tuesday from here on out. HOWEVER: if you’d still like to get them on Mondays, add your email address to our mailing list, and we’ll make sure you get it a whole day earlier than anyone else.

Hello!

This is my first public appearance on the site although you can see me in the about page. My background is in design and user experience and, assuming you are visiting our site because you are building apps, I thought you may be interested in some design and UX posts…

Everyone knows that the success of an app depends largely from its user experience, but i...

Usability testing is the gold standard for evaluating user interfaces. Although many people are familiar with usability testing desktop systems or web sites, fewer people have experience testing mobile devices. As we’ve discussed before, mobile is different from desktop and this applies to usability testing too. When you’r...

Hi folks, welcome to another weekly roundup. We have some snazzy controls for your perusal this week, but, far more importantly, you may have noticed that Facebook comments are gone, dead, finished, shuffled off this mortal coil. Sorry it took literally months to make that happen :)
