Android app release – Cryptify! encryption app on Google Play


Need a way to hide a message? No worries! With Cryptify, you can now encrypt a message in one touch and send it right under the noses of unwanted people. Cryptify allows you to transform a text into a seemingly meaningless combination of letters, numbers and symbols. And with the correct four digit password, you can decipher the hidden message in no time!

To download this amazing app from Google Play store, click here!

Yes, with such a handy app on your Android device, you can leave your message in plain sight but anyone you don’t want reading it will have no clue what it is!

This app goes way back when I did something similar for my grade 12 CS final project. I learnt a bit of Android programming last year and decided to turn that into an Android app. I worked on it over the Christmas break and finished in January this year. I didn’t publish it then because of skule and my lack of understanding about export laws and whatnot. Long story short, this is my first Android app, here I am publishing it today :-).

Text manipulation is fun! Try it some time!

Visual Studio 2013 theme – Dark Blue with Dark Editor

 

Download Link

It is important to customize your IDE and/or text editor by your preference. I personally prefer dark backgrounds as I find them easier on my eyes. This is a theme for Visual Studio 2013 that I think is optimum in this regard. It is essentially an edited version of Solarized Blue where you have the interface of Visual Studio in Solarized Blue with a darker, blacker text editor. Download it here.

You will need the ‘customize colors’ extension/plug-in to import this into your software. You can get it from the msdn site here. After installing the extension, go to Tools > Customize Colors. From there you will see an option for importing a theme.

Visual Studio is a great IDE for developing in Windows environment. You can download and try it from here if don’t have it already.

Have fun :)

I wonder if anyone actually reads random blogs. I just made one because I feel like having a public storage place. Kind of like delicious.com ....may be.
