Sometimes the path you take opens up a world of detours! It was Monocle

Simulating vision defects and so much more.

And it does lot more than just highlighting an area. “What? an year just to create a little app to highlight an area!” Well, what started as a simple exercise, ended up in a fairly sophisticated app with a suite of 7 tools. Yes, it took me a complete year to build it and release it on the Mac App Store. That estimate of course went overboard by 365 days. The name “QuickLens”, itself was a cue at moving a lens around the screen… quickly! I thought I will have this tool ready in few days, so I could use it in my presentations. After struggling with it for few days, I decided to take the next step: Build it myself.Īnd thus, QuickLens was born. I tried my best to make it work but it was futile. Sadly, it was not supported for Mavericks and above. The description seemed to fit my exact need. That would be useful to highlight snippets of code in real-time.īeing on the Mac, I found one: OmniDazzle. I wanted an app that could help me highlight areas of the screen and possibly dim rest of the screen. You see, back in early 2013, I was creating video courses and training videos on Web Development. It was an app born out of pure need, with features built around my own workflow. QuickLens started its life around April 2013.

The app was mostly built on the Nights and Weekends plan.

So what happened? Well, besides taking those much needed sleep-breaks, I was busy building QuickLens: a Mac App that provides a set of tools to explore User Interfaces.
