Keeping up with technology is a lot of work. Luckily, we enjoy wading through the noise just to find the gems of awesomeness sprinkled throughout. Fusion Radar is our gift to you, Current or Potential Client, so that you can enjoy all of the awesome without any of the drudgery. Unwrap it each week, and know that you’re loved by the geeks and pixel-pushers at Agency Fusion.
Anvil for Mac
We previously highlighted Hammer for Mac, and this tool operates along the same lines. Anvil is a lot simpler than its counterpart, however; it is a menubar app that makes accessing local development sites easier.
Scripted
Although Scripted operates as a general purpose code editor, the initial focus is on JavaScript editing. This lightweight tool is a browser-based editor that runs locally on a developer’s machine with a Node.js server instance.
Our Boxen
The team that created Boxen, a tool for automating and managing Macs, recently developed a template project called Our Boxen. It’s designed to help teams of developers fork and modify Boxen properly.
Dropzone.js
Dropzone.js is a simple jQuery plugin that allows users to add a drag-and-drop file uploader to any website. It also comes with the handy addition of showing a preview of the uploaded files, and it supports the traditional file-picker uploading as well.
Mailbox App
Anyone who’s ever been overwhelmed by their inbox should check out Mailbox, and iOS app that gives you the ability to use a few quick gestures to clean out your inbox. Swipe to archive, delete, folder, or reschedule an email – for later that day or that evening, tomorrow, that weekend, and other times.
Browser Details
If you’re working in the tech or advertising industry, you’ve either asked clients, or been asked yourself, which browser, system, and version you’re using. Browser Details makes it incredibly easy to detect and report this information.

WikiCancel
WikiCancel is a tool anyone can use to learn what’s required to unsubscribe from dozens of different newsletters, services, and websites. Although it doesn’t do the work for you, it does take you through the (sometimes ridiculously complex) steps to unsubscribing.

BLOKK font
Lorem ipsum is all well and good, but occasionally you run across people who can’t get past the Latin filling up their screen. That’s where BLOKK font comes in.
Intel Cable
Say goodbye to cable subscriptions saturated with channels you don’t want or need, and say hello to Intel’s new cable TV model. Apparently, next month Intel is rolling out their new service, which allows users to select which channels they want to subscribe to and pay for.
Getaround
Renting a car can be expensive and stressful, and actually impossible for anyone 25 and under. Getaround offers an alternative, where people put their own cars up for rent, anywhere in the country, and you can pay per hour to borrow them.
Etch
We love finding sites that are well-designed, so here’s Etch, a site with original and well-executed organization. While it is responsive to viewport size, instead of shrinking text and images, it merely moves them around on the page so it can better accommodate your screen size.
3Doodler
It’s a pen that draws in three dimensions in mid-air. Reread that sentence, and then go to the site if you still doubt us. We don’t know what else you could possibly want, so this post ends here.
