Mockuper
February 16, 2019 by cryan.com
Graphical mockups are useful when to put a screenshot or photo into perspective. Simply adding a screenshot in a release note or on social media can look a bit blah and may not generate the number of likes that you want. A mockup can make the boring shot stand out.
Mockuper is an awesome site that offers a lot of interesting design choices and if you can't find the perfect layout - allow you to create your own mockup. How awesome is that! The best part is that the site is free.
Website Description
Mockuper is a free online mockup generator app built with love by an Italian web designer. I know the pain of spending hours looking for the perfect mockup and visiting paid websites trying to find a way to download a mockup for free. So I have decided to write Mockuper, giving designers across the world the chance of focusing on their artwork thanks to a faster way to generate their products mockups. Place your app design in an iPhone mockup or your client's new logo on a business card in just a few clicks.

a5 web note taking tool
February 2, 2019 by cryan.com
Have you ever needed to take a quick note but dont want to open up an app? Use a5 to quickly jot down information.
Simple Website Description
a5 a small note taking tool.
I use it to help me remember things I'd most likely forget when browsing the web.
http://a5.gg/
A5 a great site to bookmark so youll always have a place to jot notes.
Real World Uses
This is how I used a5 in the past:
- Change a URL before pasting in an email.
- Clean up a list of words
- Jot down testing steps to a bug report before pasting into Jira.
- Reformat line breaks in a text.
- Jot down some information when talking to someone on the phone.
The nice thing about a5 is that it's a fast and easy note program. I am sure there's has to be a developer notepad type site that would add some functionalities. (I'll be on the lookout for that.)

remove.bg
December 22, 2018 by cryan.com
Removing background from a photo can be tricky. Working around the face and hair can lead to jagged edges - not to mention the amount of time wasted trying to get the selection tool to find the right edge. Fortunately there is now a better way - remove.bg, a free service that does a great job on removing backgrounds.
This newly created site makes it easy to remove the background in an image. This works really well with photos taken using portrait mode on the latest iPhones.
Description from the Site:
Remove.bg is a free service to remove the background of any photo. It works 100% automatically: You don't have to manually select the background/foreground layers to separate them - just select your image and instantly download the resulting image with the background removed!
At the moment remove.bg only works for photos with at least one person in them. Sorry - please select an appropriate image.
