SourceKit + Chrome + Dropbox + Tropo = Awesome
Thursday, March 24th, 2011So we do a lot of playing around over here in Labs, and personally I am always looking for ways to make development a bit easier and improve my workflow. Well my friends, I think I finally found “the one” – its called SourceKit and it’s pretty damn cool. It’s a text editor in your browser, which is part of Google App’s Marketplace, and it’s really quite awesome. It actually uses your dropbox account to host your code. SourceKit is a free plugin, as is Dropbox (shameless plug), so it’s really a win win! How it works is quite simple, Dropbox gives you a public folder ( http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1234567/my_app.rb ) , which is accessible to the Tropo platform.

What this means for you is that if you ever found that one of the python apps you uploaded to Tropo Scripting wouldn’t run because it needed one of the newer “standard” python libraries, you now have access to the latest that is available to us.

Friday, March 18th, 2011When web developers Mayel de Borniol and Josef Dunne saw the catastrophe in Japan, they new how they could help. They’d spend the last few months creating Babelverse (@babelverse on Twitter), a live human translation service. And even though the company wasn’t quite ready to launch, they spent the whole night pushing to get the product out the door.
