Native OS X gitk clone
September 12, 2008
Github is currently featuring an awesome native OS X gitk clone. The application matches most of the feature set of gitk as far as I can see, and it also loads up the repositories quite a bit faster.
I'll definitely be using this instead of gitk from now on. You can download the latest stable releas…

TinyMCE syntax highlighted code editor
March 29, 2008
We're currently using the super-improved TinyMCE version 3.0rc1, which apparently has gone through an entire rewrite for the 3.0 release.
