This series has completed a full run of 12 months thanks to your support. So far, you know the drill but if you aren’t familiar with this series, we feature great resources that help make designers and developers with their work. Do check out our earlier ones here if you haven’t already.

For this November 2013 round, we’re looking at tools that let you embed images into CSS code, implement shortcut keys to your website, name your PSD layers in batches, and lets you check your sites on multiple devices.

Onward to the tools!

PSD Validator

I found many designers who leave their Photoshop layers brutally unorganized. They do not name the layers and group them properly. If you are using Photoshop for web design, organized work will let developers convert it into codes more painlessly. PSD Validator lets you verify whether you follow Photoshop Etiquette when structuring your Photoshop files.

PixelPumper

PixelPumper is a Mac application for writing, scheduling, and publishing posts for WordPress. Editing in the WordPress post editor requires you to connect and login to the backend. With PixelPumper we can write and save posts while we are offline. We can also set the "Featured Image" using drag-n-drop, style the content like we do in the WordPress WYSIWYG editor.

Daturi

We can attach images in CSS using background property, and specify the URL that points to the image. In some occasions, it is better to embed the image in CSS, which can be done by converting the image into Base64 code. Daturi allows you to do so quickly. Simply drag your image on the website and hit the Convert to Base64 Code button.

KeyPress

Have you ever wanted to add keyboard shortcuts or key combos to your website? Take Facebook as an example; hit L to like or unlike, ? to search, 1 to go to the homepage. If you want to implement a similar idea onto your website, you can use Keypress, a JavaScript library for capturing keyboard input.

GhostLab

Today, building websites can be a real challenge as there are too many devices with different dimensions and requirements to cater to. Testing it on as many devices as possible is a real pain. Ghostlab is a Mac app you can use to test your website synchronously on multiple mobile devices, phone or tablet. When you scroll, click, or reload the page, it will reflect on other connected devices as well.

iPhone5S Mockup

iPhone5S is out. That means your clients or perhaps yourself may need to show off your creations on it. Here a PSD mockup for iPhone5S. It is a three-quarter mockup view, and it comes in 3 color variants, dark, white, and gold. They are built in a great detail, and drawn in Photoshop vector for scalability. In addition, the author, Pixeden also released two additional views, 3D and Front.

RulersGuide

RulerGuides is a JavaScript library to build a ruler on a website and add guidelines to it. It is similar to Photoshop where we can create guidelines by clicking on the ruler and dragging it anywhere on the canvas. It also provides some hotkeys for toggling the rulers, and saving or clearing the guides. Check out the demo for an inside look.

Group Layer Renaming

According to Photoshop Etiquette, you must have a name for every layer in your PSDs. Unnamed layers can drive a designer insane. But, having to rename piles of layers is also a tedious job. So, if this is something you do frequently, you can utilize this Photoshop script that allows naming PSD layers in group.

BlendMe

Icons can transcend different languages, double as your brand, and from a technical aspect, it could save space in the design. If you work with icons a lot in Photoshop, here is a plugin that you may need to install. BlendMe collects a bunch of free icons, then lets you search the collection and insert the icon into your design.

GenerateWP

GenerateWP is a web tool for generating WordPress API with the latest standard. There are 17 APIs that we can create with this tool including Taxonomy, Post Type, Post Status, Shortcode, and Sidebar.

After much teasing, Google has finally released the latest version of Android, version 4.4. Known as KitKat, Android 4.4 brings with it a number of improvements, some of which lie behind the scenes, that are sure to improve an Android user’s experience. Currently, KitKat is only available for the Google Nexus 5, but will soon be available for the Nexus 4, 7 and 10, the Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One Google Play Edition as well.

While you wait for your Nexus 5 to arrive, or for your phone to get Android 4.4, here’s a list of some of the more notable changes to look forward to. If you’re an Android user interested in seeing what you’ll be getting on your device soon, or an iOS fan keeping tabs on the competition, read on.

1. Better Memory Management

KitKat is designed to run on devices with as little as 512MB of RAM. Google has implemented behind-the-scenes improvements to Android 4.4′s memory management, and will be providing developers and OEM manufacturers with tools and options to take advantage of these improvements. These memory improvements are expected to lead to smoother multi-tasking as well.

The fact that less than half of all Android phones are running Android 4.x has led to fragmentation issues within Android. It looks like these memory optimizations may lead to greater adoption of Android 4.4, and this should help unify Android to some extent.

2. Improved Google Now

You can now activate Google Now by simply saying "OK Google". it’s only available to Nexus 5 for now though. The contextual cards feature also gets an upgrade. Google Now cards will try to predict information you need based on your location, favorite sites or TV programmes.

In addition, Android 4.4 features a new app-linking feature, which allows Google Search to deep-link search results to applications installed on a user’s device. So, for instance, searching for a restaurant via Google Now can direct you to a restaurant reservation app such as OpenTable, ready to make a reservation for that particular restaurant.

3. Hangouts App Upgraded

The old Android messaging app is now a thing of the past with KitKat. Instead, Google Hangouts now supports SMS and MMS, so all your messages will be in the same app. Hangouts will also be getting support for HD video calls across all devices.

Video and voice calling have also been improved, to make Hangouts an all-in-one solution to your communication needs. In addition, animated GIFs and location sharing through Google Maps will be supported.

4. Smarter Caller ID

Android’s default phone app is also getting some welcome changes, including a fresh new design. The dialer now has a search field that you can use to search for a business’s contact info listed in Google Maps. This will pull up contact info for businesses near your area.

This Google Maps data is also used by the phone app’s caller ID to identify any unknown numbers by cross-checking the number with nearby businesses. In addition to this new integration with Google Maps, the new phone app also prioritizes your contacts based on the people you talk to most.

5. Immersive Mode

Let’s face it; Android’s status bar and navigation buttons can sometimes get in the way, especially when you’re playing a game, reading eBooks or watching videos. Fortunately, Android 4.4 comes with a new immersive mode that hides everything except the app you’re using. Once you’re done, just swipe the edge of the screen to bring back your status bar and navigation buttons.

6. Integration With Cloud Storage

Android 4.4 comes support for cloud storage solutions such as Google Drive built into the operating system. This means that you can save and open directly from the cloud, without having to save into your device’s storage first. Apps such as QuickOffice are already able to take advantage of this integration and open documents directly from Google Drive on your Android device.

7. Printing On The Go

Google is making it much easier to print documents or photos on your phone by building support for Google Cloud Print directly into Android 4.4. This will allow you to print documents over WiFi or Bluetooth. Of course, this feature is limited to compatible printers with wireless capabilities, support for Google Cloud Print, as well as any printers that have apps available in the Google Play Store.

8. Built-In Sensors

Android 4.4 adds operating system support for two new composite sensors: step counter and step detector. This support will allow fitness app developers to access pedometer data without writing complex code and algorithms. This, coupled with the hardware sensor batching that reduces power consumed by sensors, means that Android 4.4 devices with compatible hardware, such as the Nexus 5, will be perfect for training and fitness purposes.

9. System-Wide Closed Captioning

Android 4.4 improves user accesibility by adding support for system-wide closed captioning settings. You can set whether captions should be shown, the language captions will be shown for, and text-related settings such as size and font. Apps that use video will be able to access these settings and show on screen captions based on your settings.

10. Lock Screen Art

The Android 4.4 lock screen can now show more than just widgets. When you’re listening to music or streaming movies via Chromecast, your device’s lock screen will show the fullscreen album or movie art. The lock screen will also have dedicated controls to allow you to play, pause and seek, all from the lock screen.

Conclusion

These are just 10 of the more notable updates in Android 4.4. There are a number of other new features included in KitKat, such as low-power location monitoring, easy home screen switching, built-in infrared blaster support and a redesigned downloads app, just to name a few. The entire list of changes is available on the Android website.

All in all, Android 4.4 isn’t what you’d call a spectacular update, but it does bring some much welcome improvements to the table. The improved memory management is particularly interesting, and the rest of the features combine to make Android 4.4 a solid addition to the Android family tree.
