Grab an Ember swag-pack!
From time to time we like to order some Realmac-related goodies - and to celebrate the launch of Ember we've recently ordered some Ember t-shirts. Modelled by six members of the Realmac team below, we've also saved a few of these shirts and starting today there's a chance for you to score one!
Some of the Realmac Team (L-R): Luke, Danny, Aron, Dan, Nik and Keith (Ben wasn't able to make the shoot)
To win one of ten Ember Swag Packs (containing either a white or charcoal tee and some Ember button badges) simply share your Ember images on Twitter using our embr.it short URL service. Any tweets containing embr.it URLs posted from now until noon (UK time) on Monday 21st September will be entered into the competition - and be sure to follow @emberapp on Twitter as we'll be announcing the 10 winners via the Ember Twitter account on Monday afternoon!
If you're wondering how to create a shortened embr.it URL, simply visit the bottom of any Ember page and click 'Generate'. Registered users can customise the URL 'slug' too by making sure they're signed in when trying to create a short URL.
Happy tweeting!
Introducing LittleSnapper 1.5 and Ember
It's been an incredibly busy week here at Realmac HQ and today we're ecstatic to finally reveal the all-new LittleSnapper 1.5 update along with a brand-new version of our QuickSnapper service !
There's tonnes of new features in this release - from tag autocompletion and management to a brand-new super-smart screenshot engine and much more - and best of all, it's a free update for all LittleSnapper users. If you don't already own a copy of LittleSnapper, you might want to drop by our online store as we're also lowering the price for a limited time to just $24 to celebrate the new release.
Our web developers have also been busy with QuickSnapper's all-new successor - Ember. Ember is the best way to share your snaps from LittleSnapper, and now features many much-requested features to share your inspiration. You can now build your own collections from any public images on the service - our own online scrapbooking tool, if you will - and also submit your snaps to Categories. The aim of these categories (which the Realmac team will be curating over the coming months) is to nurture a great design resource for all the mediums that our users work with - and we can't wait to see what you submit!
We're keeping a free, Fusion Ads supported, membership available for users who don't require all the collection features, however you can also upgrade your account for $24 a year to unlimited uploads and collections. We even throw-in free LittleSnapper upgrades for our Ember Pro members for the year of your membership!
Our web developers will be continuing to roll-out more features and subtle improvements in the coming days and weeks, so stay tuned for some more Ember goodness soon here on the Blog - and be sure to follow Ember on Twitter!
Whenever we release an update to one of our apps, we're always asked "What about an update for (the other)?". To answer the question for RapidWeaver: we're hard at work on the 4.2.4 update and beyond, and we'll be announcing more details about that update in the not-too-distant future!
A quick, post-launch update: Ember's free accounts allow you to share up to 30 snaps a month, and create a maximum of 3 collections per account.
