I'm John Nye, half of NimbleWorks where I get to play with mobiles and build things, for myself and somtimes clients.

Working

Since striking out on my own in 2009 I've switched from web development to mobile development and back a few times. My go to languages are Objective-C and PHP, yes it has a bad reputation but modern PHP is not what you think it is.

At NimbleWorks I get to indulge myself and build Mac, iOS and web applications for fun and profit.

Making

Simulator Folders

Simulator Folders is a simple menu bar application that get you to the iOS simulators folders quickly, avoiding the mire of hashed folder names.

It's free and installable through cask with brew cask install simulator-folders or downloading it.

ReadHQ

ReadHQ is our RSS reader, I've had less to do with this development of this then I'd have liked, client work, you know.

ReadHQ will be launching in public beta in a few weeks, we've got some interesting features and have worked hard on making the RSS reader we want to use.

Work Journal

Work Journal is a Mac application to keep track of what you do every day. Think of it as the revers todo list, or done list.

I'm currently working on some ambitious features for Work Journal.

Github

Other projects and experiments can be found either on my github page or the NimbleWorks page

Speaking

I co-host Exeter Web a bi-monthly meetup for people working in or around the web in Devon. Apart from stepping up to fill a speaking slot when we're short, I occasionaly speak at other events in the South West.
