IPinator

Assumed audience: people who have been following my work as a Mac developer.

I’m pleased to announce that IPinator is finally live on the App Store. It’s a utility app and Notification Center widget that displays your external IP address and locates it on a map for easy access during local development, VPN setup, etc.

IPinator screenshot Application window and Notification Center extension.

IPinator is written in Swift and uses Argo for JSON parsing and Llamakit for Result. During development, I came across a limitation where Today extensions can’t display a MKMapView directly. I got around it by generating an NSImage of the map and displaying it instead.

If you’d like to write about IPinator, feel free to drop a line for a promo code.
