After months of work, Slipstream is in commercial beta and the product website is live at slipstreamapp.com

The app has evolved and includes lots of great new functionality including

  • Window tiling, which is a really easy way to rearrange a group of windows to fill your screen space.
  • Much smoother and smarter window resizing and moving.
  • Preferences, Help and Quick Start Guide.

I've also added a screencast on the web site where I run through the basics of Slipstream.

The Mac Developer Network has continued to be a great resource to test and provide feedback.
I'm very impressed with the time energy people put in to give constructive feedback and that's been a huge help in getting Slipstream to where it is at now. There's still more to do but I see this product as evolving over the coming months with continual improvements, refinements and enhancements.

It's very exciting to have it all coming together so well. The website resources are hosted on Amazon's CloudFront which is their content delivery network, this means that my site is duplicated across Amazon's own hosting locations around the world ensuring visitors get it delivered to their browser as quickly as possible. This is important for slipstreamApp.com as it's quite heavy on the images and so could be slow to load for visitors with slow connections. Anyway in the geekiest of ways it's extremely cool that I can so easily take advantage of Amazon's network resources to support my own work.

So if you haven't already download and try Slipstream and, of course, if you like it, buy it.
