VFJCZYN5LQXK  I reviewed this product back in May 2009 and I still stand by my 5 star review. It's been 3 months since then and yet I have not run into any problems with this software. Not only that, the software has always achieved download speed that's much higher than Safari's download manager. I know this because I sometimes check stuff like this out of curiosity.

Plus, other convenient features such as contextual menu for downloading YouTube menu at lightening speed makes this software worth every penny.

VFJCZYN5LQXK  Incredibly good, very easy to use, and fast! Bought as a part of Yazsoft's Promo Bundle. It just works. I've tried other methods to access my network remotely and this one works the best by a large margin. Time is money. This one saves me time AND effort. Well worth investing $20.

VFJCZYN5LQXK  This utility is unbelievably good! I bought it as a part of Yazsoft's Promo Bundle. It works perfectly as advertised. I'm particularly pleased with its built-in FTP client. I do web development and this software saves so much time in transferring development sites. Compared to Safari's default downloader this thing downloads everything 4~6 times faster in my case.

Also, don't be fooled by the delay the trial version puts out upon launch. Once registered, the delay is completely removed, and the software launches instantaneously. It's fast in all aspects!

Flux

VFJCZYN5LQXK  Saw it on MacZOT. Tried it for an hour or so and purchased immediately. The WYSWYG editing view renders existing CSS based webpage layouts surprisingly accurately, while giving me a complete control over HTML/PHP/CSS code. In a way it's basically like Firefox with Web Developer plug-in's CSS layout "Outline" feature with drag & drop editing capability added to it, a DOM inspector along with Dreamweaver-ish Code View - Design View integration. You click on any elements in WYSWYG and it would take you straight to the actual code when the code window is open. Even CSS-based multilevel menu works in WYSWYG editing menu. Double-click on a DIV tag in WYSWYG view and it would bring up a window for click-and-select easy editing. I find this kind of decent CSS layout visualization WITH editing capability (not just preview or rendering common among coder-centric editors) a godsend for visual oriented developers.

Unlike Rapidweaver, iWeb, Sandvox and Freeway, it can work with any existing generic CSS-based web sites created in other applications without any special modifications, simply by dragging and dropping a folder containing HTML/CSS files onto Flux icon, (just like BBEdit, Coda, etc.) It does a pretty decent job of not breaking any existing codes written outside the program. I was able to download a few free CSS design templates (Template Monster, etc.) and use it in Flux to quickly create a whole web site without any problems, and I was also able to use a Flux-generated site in Dreamweaver without doing any additional tweaks. This program can be used in conjunction with other tools.

It still has a way to go in fully supporting CMS WYSWYG layout editing such as WordPress, etc. but it looks like it's getting there, and I think it might grow to become a "Dreamweaver killer" on the Mac in the future. Either way, it does a fantastic job as a v.2.x product, and it has a huge potential. Great value for the money, a welcome addition to my toolkit. Strongly recommended.

VFJCZYN5LQXK  Excellent productivity enhancement utility. Somewhat similar to Spotlight but it does a lot more than just searching and launching via keyword, and it also complements Spotlight nicely. It's saved so much time and effort over the past few years of using it. Strongly recommended.

1Password
Apr 27 2009
*****

VFJCZYN5LQXK  Extremely useful, and saves so much time. I'm a web developer and I often have to manage many logins for a single domain. 1Password comes in VERY handy in such case. Its iPhone companion is also excellent and I use it daily. I don't even think about login and password much anymore because it's a matter of simply clicking the 1Password icon in my browser. So simple, very handy, and saves me so much time and effort.

It also has a decent import/export command, so there is no data lock-in or anything like that.

Strongly recommended. A huge time saver if you have many logins.

Things
Apr 27 2009
*****

VFJCZYN5LQXK  I downloaded the desktop version, and in less than half an hour I was instantly hooked and purchased it along with the iPhone version. It makes perfect sense especially if you are implementing the Getting Things DoneŠ workflow by David Allen.

It syncs with my iPhone and also iCal, so any items created in Things can also be utilized in other apps via Apple's SyncService. Of course drag & drop also works nicely, and it's easy to link it with external data/objects. It's so nice to be able to integrate Things into my existing workflow that way.

DragThing

VFJCZYN5LQXK  DragThing is more than a dock: It lets you have custom keyboard shortcuts for launching programs, files, opening folders, and running scripts. It works as a global sniplet holder for inserting frequently used text and image sniplets via clicking, custom keyboard shortcut, or drag & drop, in any programs. It can hold URLs, etc. just about any objects on your Mac and make it quick and easy to access them via mouse or via keyboard shortcut of your choice. DragThing also utilizes screen edges and corders very efficiently. I find all these aspects of DragThing extremely helpful in speeding up my workflow. There are so many workflow ideas you can implement with DragThing.

It is also a very stable application. I've been using DragThing for several years now, and it is one of the most well-behaving applications installed on my machine. It runs really well on older machines, too. I've run it on eMac/iMac 800Mhz G4 as well as iBook G3 500Mhz without any problems for years.

The author of this application is very helpful and responsive. There is also a large community of DragThing users which includes some well-known experts. DragThing has been around for almost 14 years now, and it is considered one of the most popular shareware of all time.

DragThing does have some learning curve, and it might take some playing around in order to realize all the features and potentials built into DragThing. But most things are just a matter of browsing the Preferences panel. I can certainly testify that the productivity gain DragThing gives me is more than enough to justify some learning curve.
