Panic, makers of Transmit, Coda and other apps for Mac and iOS, on Wednesday released Status Board, a new iPad app that collects “data about your life” into six instant panels: a clock, weather, calendar, mail, twitter, and news feeds. Three “pro” panels let you display graphs, tables, or any content you design using HTML. It costs $10. For another $10 through in-app purchase, you can output the content to a TV using an HDMI cable, or streamed via AirPlay to an Apple TV.
Looks very cool.
Except for the email I was thinking in that kind of app just two days ago. What a coincidence!
I really liked their original in-office prototype that displayed commuter bus arrival times. Very considerate.
Some great design work to be sure, but Panic always seemed to be out in front of the pack in this regard. the iMore review concludes with a tease of things to come in future updates and the screenshot appears to have some sort of map displayed.
I have a long-term love affair with Panic, they make my favorite usenet tool. I can’t wait to throw my cash in their face, futurama-style. I’m gonna use the heck out of this for project tracking.
