We’re going to ship on this date, we’re going to be feature complete by a date well ahead of that. “He just made a case for what we had to do, draw lines in the sand. “He’s why we’re shipping,” says Pasco bluntly. When Jurewitz joined the company five months ago, Pasco says that they sat down and started assessing the state of the app as it was. He was a proponent of Apple’s tools, but also a believer in using the ones that the company made available, a belief that ended up spawning its own meme. For many developers, especially in the US, Jury was the public face of Apple’s internal machinery. Jurewitz is a six-year veteran of Apple, where he served as an engineer and its Developer Tools and Frameworks Evangelist. That blood came in the form of Michael Jurewitz as Director.
Though the decision to get Kaleidoscope out there first was already made, it took bringing on some new blood to get it complete. Though the team is an experienced one, the lack of hard deadlines was causing problems with just getting it out the door. The project could take on any scope that the team gave it, with no restrictions but those that they put on themselves. With Kaleidoscope, which would be the company’s first major app to market and set the tone for its future releases, there was likely even more pressure. “So you’re figuring out your priorities, what’s really important, right away.” There’s an event or the funding runs out or something,” says Pasco. “In contracting, there’s always a hard deadline. There were difficulties, however, in getting the app shipped. “He and I really collaborated on the feature set and what we were going to do with it.” The team has been working on its own apps for some time, but the Kaleidoscope project really got moving, says Pasco, after they hired designer Olivier Charavel. Because the temptation to feel like it’s really got to be great, and that you have to put everything in it that you can is very, very strong.” “We have no problem shipping to deadlines with our client work,” he says, “but it’s been very different for our own stuff. The company also acquired extremely popular RSS reader NetNewsWire. The shift in Black Pixel’s direction began roughly a year ago, when it acquired two applications, Kaleidoscope and Versions, from Sofa, a design company whose employees now work on Facebook. It’s become an essential part of my toolkit already. It’s beautifully designed, fast and wonderful to use.

It has full integration with Git, Subversion, Mercurial, and Bazaar. The app can be used as the default conflict resolver for code with its command line integration or simply to check the changed passages in a collaborative word document. The applications are broad, with benefits that swing from developers on one end to those simply looking to compare two images side-by-side. Kaleidoscope 2 is a lovely comparison app that allows you to take two or more files, folders or images and compare them to one another.
