AppKiDo

Rock
Andy Lee has shipped version 0.91 of AppKiDo, his fantastic Cocoa documentation browsing/searching app.

What I really appreciate about AppKiDo how it presents a unified hierarchy across different frameworks (like Foundation and AppKit, something which DocoaBrowser keeps maddeningly separate). Also the per-class delegates and notifications subsections are really handy.

Basically, AppKiDo does a great job of flattening Cocoa to something immediately understandable. Andy will be open sourcing it soon, and I'm drooling to find out how he's going about yanking all this framework metadata.

Andy also writes:

I am an unemployed New Yorker. If you know of an interesting non-programming job in NYC, I'd appreciate hearing about it. Yup, I said non-programming. I'm spoiled on the creative control I have now. For now, I want to do only my own programming, on my own time. And I wouldn't mind broadening my horizons a bit in the workplace.

Update: Andy released the source here
