PencilCase by Robots and Pencils 

My thanks to Robots and Pencils for sponsoring this week’s DF RSS feed to promote PencilCase, an iOS app-making tool that doesn’t require any coding. It’s like HyperCard, reimagined for the modern world. With PencilCase you can create a native app easily: just import your design, then start adding complex animations, transitions, and interactions using the built-in tools. You can:

  • Animate anything using the physics tool or timeline.
  • Create complex behaviors using the intuitive “Whens and Thens” system.
  • Incorporate 3D models as easily as adding an image.

With one-tap publishing, your app can be instantly distributed to PencilCase: Player or exported as an Xcode project and submitted directly to the App Store.

PencilCase is free to try. Start making your own app today.

Apple Watch Sold Out in Less Than 6 Hours, All Models Now Shipping in ‘June’ 

I ordered last night the minute the store went live. The Apple Store app worked great for me — tap a collection, tap the model you want, Apple Pay, thumb on Touch ID, done.

As for the sellout and shipping dates now being in June, I get the feeling supply is low and demand is high.
