Puffing Bear

I’m delighted to announce that I’m ready to go public with a beta of Shrinker, my URL shortening application for Mac OS X Leopard.

Shrinker is free, and it would be great if you’d try it out and let me know how you get on with it. I’m eager to make it as simple and useful as I possibly can.

If you find Shrinker useful, please tell your friends. If you don’t, please tell me.

Puffing Bear is a new company, formed by me, James Higgs. I will be writing and publishing high-quality software for Mac OS X and iPhone. My first application is a small utility for Mac OS X that can make shrinking URLs, using services like TinyURL, is.gd and bit.ly, a great deal easier.

Shrinker, as I have imaginatively decided to call it, is currently in private beta. You can become a tester by signing up at MacDeveloper.net where you can provide me with feedback and bug reports.

I’m hoping to release Shrinker very soon, but I want to make sure that it’s really stable and truly adds value to the average Mac user. Ease of use is a key concern, therefore.

Shrinker will be free when it launches, so be sure to check back soon.
