EZ Outliner aims to be a simple yet easy to use outliner application, allowing you to create powerful and easy to read outline documents from any device, anywhere. Use EZ Outliner to create shopping and grocery lists, plans, schedules, outline speeches and presentations, to do lists, or anything else which takes the format of an outline. EZ Outliner currently contains everything you need to create basic outlines, but I will expand and add more based on user requests and feedback. Here is just a list of some of the things EZ Outliner can already do. - Create a virtually unlimited number of outlines for every use case and occasion! - Color code your outlines for better organization. - Print your outlines, from any device! Properly formatted outline printing is supported on all devices, as long as a printer is available. - Sync your outlines between devices. If you sign in with an Ape Apps account, you can sync your outline files across all of your devices. Work on a grocery list or presentation at home, then pull them up on your phone when you need them! The goal of EZ Outliner is to be quick and easy to use. If there are features you would like to see added, or if you can think of changes that will improve the app, e-mail me or let me know in the comments. This app is for you guys, so help me make it the best it can be!

Shader x Node is a WWDC19 Scholarship Application Project. > Write amazing shaders with your creativity and ingenuity (and without any coding skill because drag'n'drop saves the day!) Hi, are you interested in graphics related stuff, like visual effects in Hollywood, AAA game development and video jockey? If so, then you must be wondering how do people achieve these great effects! The answer is shader, which is a type of computer program that can do literally everything now, from simple graphics to powering autonomous driving. Today we are going to use this app to build a music visualization shader using my shader node editor, which is a visual scripting system I wrote in Swift.
