Dan Wood: The Eponymous Weblog

At 5 O'clock Pacific time, we put a new face on the Karelia website.

For quite a while now, I — and my partner at Karelia, Terrence Talbot — have been working on our next big thing. We're not ready to release by any means, but we are ready to give the Mac blogosphere a preview of what is coming from Karelia later this year (and something else to think about besides the whole Intel thing). Our application is called Sandvox, and it is — in six words or less — an "iApp" for creating web sites.

We are here at Apple's WWDC this week, to get refreshers and the latest scoop on the technologies which we have been using — or will be soon using — inside the application. And, we're showing demos of the program (still in alpha state) to fellow developers, since there will be a n umber of plugin opportunities. There are a lot of great features in the app that we are excited about that aren't at all obvious by our web site; our new Sandvox Development Blog (itself built by our program) will be helping to fill in some details in the months to come as we get closer to release. Be sure to subscribe to it (RSS FEED) to be kept in the loop.

If you're interested in beta testing or getting the first copies, sign up on our home page. And vote for your favorite design — we are showcasing a selection of the Sandvox's site designs on that page.
