TeXShop is a TeX previewer for Mac OS X, written in Cocoa. Since pdf is a native file format on OS X, TeXShop uses "pdftex" and "pdflatex" rather than "tex" and "latex" to typeset in its default configuration; these programs in the standard TeX Live distribution of TeX produce pdf output instead of dvi output. TeXShop uses TeX Live, a standard distribution of Tex programs maintained by the TeX Users Group (TUG) for Mac OS X, Windows, Linux, and various other Unix machines. The distribution includes tex, latex, dvips, tex fonts, cyrillic fonts, and virtually all other programs and supporting files commonly used in the TeX world. The most recent version of this distribution is maintained for the Mac by the MacTeX TeXnical Working Group of the TeX Users Group and available under the "Obtaining" tab.

XeTeX is Unicode-based TeX using platform fonts and font technologies (e.g. AAT on Mac OS X or OpenType features on Mac/Linux/Windows) to provide typesetting for all the world's scripts.

NewsBlur is an open-source, full-stack RSS news reader and social reading platform with a hosted service and native clients. The backend crawls and parses feeds at scale, stores stories, and pushes updates to users in near real time, while the web app and mobile apps provide rich reading experiences. Its hallmark is “training”: you can tell the system what you like or dislike—authors, keywords, tags—and it prioritizes stories accordingly, surfacing what matters most. Features like saved stories, tagging, full-text search, and offline reading make it practical for heavy information consumers. Social elements allow sharing to your own “blurblog,” following friends, and discovering curated content, which turns a solitary reader into a lightweight network. Architecturally, it demonstrates a production-ready aggregation pipeline, a multi-tenant web app, and cross-platform clients living in one coherent codebase.

Chunk-based JSON parsing and generation in Objective-C. SBJson's number one feature is stream/chunk-based operation. Feed the parser one or more chunks of UTF8-encoded data and it will call a block you provide with each root-level document or array. Or, optionally, for each top-level entry in each root-level array. With this you can reduce the apparent latency for each download/parse cycle of documents over a slow connection. You can start parsing and return chunks of the parsed document before the full document has downloaded. You can also parse massive documents bit by bit so you don't have to keep them all in memory.
