Congratulations to Trevor and Greg DeVore. Their Clarify App has been listed as one of the “10 Best Mac Apps of 2011” by Mashable.com.

There’s been lots of buzz lately about how great LiveCode is to make mobile apps and games and the LiveCode Game Academy  has received lots of attention from budding developers seeking to try something new. But let’s not forget our roots. Right from its beginning, LiveCode was and is a professional development tool that allows you  to  make applications for lots of different platforms and purposes.

So we’re really proud to announce that Clarify, by LiveCode users BlueMango Learning Systems has been listed as one of the “10 Best Mac Apps of 2011” by Mashable.com. “Clarify from Blue Mango Learning is a great app for individuals that frequently need to create and annotate documentation using screenshots or photographs” the website says. “Like it's older brother ScreenSteps Desktop (also built in LiveCode), Clarify is easy to use and has powerful built-in annotation and resizing tools.”

How Clarify Works

Capture images Capture screenshots, import graphics or add photos. Capture multiple images to create clear communications.

Share online or via email. It’s easy to share your communications online via clarify-it.com (a free sharing service offered by Blue Mango) or by email.

I asked Trevor DeVore, Director of Technology at BlueMango, why he chose LiveCode to make Clarify.

“Clarify will be released for both Mac and Windows. I need to be able to share as much code as possible between the two platforms if I’m going to be able to provide a quality product for our customers at release as well as going forward. Being able to use 98% of the code on both platforms without modification makes this feasible.

In addition, the ability to instantly test Clarify on Mac and Windows during development without any need to compile allows me to quickly iterate over features and fix bugs.”
