Some people commute. I did that for five days a week last year. When you write lines of code at a remote office and also at home, its difficult to share data between two locations. CodeBlue 6, a desktop application that is available at Mac App Store, is useful. But you may not be able to use it at your office. In fact, last year, I went home and do some homework by using CodeBlue to PDF-print some code snippets and load them with my old iPad almost every week day. That was tiring. Well, I have a better idea. How about developing an iPad app that lets me read CodeBlue 6 data so that I dont have to go home and do homework? So this is it. I now have more time to relax myself after arriving home.
CodeBlue Reader is an iPad-only app that lets you read a code dataset for CodeBlue 6. You can switch groups with a finger tap. The title list recognizes five color levels of importance besides a plain level. If necessary, export the selected code snippet as a text file so that you can share it with other apps.
