Mac web developer apps

This gist's comment stream is a collection of webdev apps for OS X. Feel free to add links to apps you like, just make sure you add some context to what it does — either from the creator's website or your own thoughts.

Installing pdnsd from homebrew as root user.

$ brew install pdnsd

$ sudo chown -R nobody /usr/local/var/cache/pdnsd

$ mv pdnsd.conf /usr/local/etc
$ sudo chown root /usr/local/etc/pdnsd.conf

Expose IIS or IISExpress running in a Parallels Windows 7/8 VM to your OS X host

Rename your virtual machine

In your Windows 7/8 VM, go to Control Panel > System > Advanced system settings > Computer Name and click Change. Name this whatever you like, e.g. windows. Restart your VM.

Add an ACL rule

Open CMD or Powershell as administrator. Add a URL ACL entry for your new name on the port of your choice, e.g.
netsh http add urlacl url=http://windows:8080/ user=everyone

Add a firewall rule

Flying Widgets adds CSS3 transitions to your dashboard, allowing you to cycle through multiple widget sets on a single TV without page reloads, using stylish CSS3 transitions. You can even still re-order your widgets and save their locations!

Note that sinatra-cyclist is a potential alternative if the machine you use to display your dashboards is lacking in graphics horsepower.

To use, put this file in assets/javascripts/cycleDashboard.coffee. Then find this line in application.coffee:
