Codelaide Software sends out virtual “Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year” cards to everybody!

As a little update on what we’ve been up to, our development is currently focusing on a 1.1 release of Lighthouse. It will be a significant feature upgrade. Expect it to come out in January!

In the meantime… Happy Holidays!

After quite some time of hard work, we’re ready to welcome ourselves to the world of Mac shareware! It’s a good feeling to see how everything is finally coming together. With all the website stuff up and running, we can now concentrate fully on what we think we’re best at: Writing good Mac software and being yet another shareware company without the “yet another”…

Our first product is called Lighthouse. It’s a dynamic port forwarding utility that supports both the NAT/PMP and UPnP protocols (which, translated from nerd-talk, means that it’ll work with your Apple Aiport base station, but also many D-Link, Linksys or Netgear routers from the PC world). And it’s really useful if you want to run server-like applications on your computer behind the NAT router, such as some instant messengers (they act as servers for file-transfers), networked tools like SubEthaEdit, file-sharing programs like Transmission or plain simple servers like a web or ftp server. After all the time we spent with it during our internal beta testing, we already find Lighthouse totally indispensable. Oh, and it has a pretty icon!

Give it a test-run: It’s free to evaluate Lighthouse for 14 days. After that, it’s all yours for the small fee of $9.99 (which is less than 5 candy bars and less than 3 packs of cigarettes, depending on which comparison you prefer).
