In 2008, YelloSoft started as a handful of desktop apps, mostly menulets that go bump in the night. Computer technology has significantly changed since then, such as the rise of cloud computing and mobile devices. We're still making software, like our first Android app, a Cisco router password decrypter. But the landscape has shifted, and YelloSoft is shifting with it. We're transitioning more to software as a service, and YelloSoft's preference for small, Unix-like modules goes a long way toward making reusable, remixable computing services.

This November, YelloSoft is giving back to the software community. We've added a new Feedback link to make it easier to trade bug reports and feature requests. We're continuing to host installers for third party software, including mirroring BootCamp 4.0 driver downloads to make them more accessible.

In order of ascending awesomeness, YelloSoft projects over the winter include the binfix number formatting library for Node.js; new Windows installers for the curl, grep, and nano Unix programs; rewrites of ROT13, D&D Dice, and Word Count in pure Node.js, with improved interfaces; a Pig Monte Carlo simulation; and Haskell for the Evil Genius, a declarative programming language tutorial for malcontents.
Perl hackery lead to glue.pl, portable software for Windows password retrieval. Copy to a USB drive, insert into the desired computer, and a window pops up listing passwords for each computer account.

Check out our ports for the amazing QuickCheck unit test framework. Gravy, we've got a lot of ports. We currently maintain QuickCheck for six programming languages, and we're working on ports for four more. Interested in porting QuickCheck to your favorite programming language?
We suggest you start by reading the code from node-quickcheck, one of the most readable ports with friendly, familiar C-style syntax.

YelloSoft has not been idle. Our major work over the past few months includes Proxymang, a web app for building Magic the Gathering decks and printing proxies. It's just a bit of plain JavaScript, really. Okay, and some jQuery for flavor.
When we're not making fun little apps, we're making fun little libraries. We're porting QuickCheck, a really cool Haskell unit test framework. Instead of scattering thousands of assert statements throughout your code, QuickCheck works by testing properties. For example, encryption should have the property of being reversible.
