I tried to reply earlier but I think I forgot to check the “I’m not a robot” box. You are correct that MarkupKit is a developer tool – I apologize for the confusion.

I would definitely appreciate any suggestions you might have!

Thanks, Greg

Thank you very much for the excellent comment. Before I say yes or no, could you elaborate on how this tool would be used by end-users? My initial reaction is that a development framework would be better suited for the Stack Overflow blog as opposed to the Ask Different blog. I would like to support your efforts to make a developing quality software better please let me know what I can do to help with that regardless of whether your tool ends up on this blog or elsewhere.

Cheers – bmike

Are you still looking for blog ideas? This is absolutely a shameless plug, but I’ve been working on an open-source project for simplifying iOS app development for the past few months and I’m trying to get the word out about it:

https://github.com/gk-brown/MarkupKit

From the project docs:

“MarkupKit is a framework for simplifying development of iOS applications. It allows developers to construct user interfaces declaratively using a human-readable markup language, rather than programmatically in code or interactively using a visual modeling tool such as Interface Builder.

“Building an interface in markup makes it easy to visualize the resulting output as well as recognize differences between revisions. It is also a metaphor that many developers are comfortable with, thanks to the ubiquity of HTML and the World Wide Web.”

An abbreviated introduction to the framework is available here:

Hope you find some value in it!
