Codacy Codacy launches to help developers monitor problematic code

Codacy launched in private beta back in November, offering developers a code review tool that automatically monitors patterns to unearth potentially problematic code further down the line. And today, Codacy is shedding its beta tags and launching to the public.

Since launch, more than 1,300 developers have signed up to the platform, with an average of one million lines of code analyzed every day. We’re told that Codacy will be integrating with “key Continuous Integration tools” this year, as well as launching its own command line tool.

Full pricing has also now been revealed for the public launch – $14.99, $49.99 and $149.99 per month for a person, team (5 people) and company respectively. However, you can receive a whole month for free if you sign up using this link – exclusively for TNW readers.

02 Week view 220x390 Moves for iPhone now lets you track more than 60 types of activity, from ballet to boxingActivity-tracking app Moves has always been able to automatically detect walking, running, cycling and movement by motorized transport, but a new update for the iPhone today brings with it support for more than 60 new activity types.

While users will have to manually label time spent on these activities for now, developer Protogeo plans to add automatic tracking for as many of these as it can in the future, based on the user data it receives. So, whether you’ve been gym training, paintballing, rollerblading, swimming or practically any other activity you can think of, Moves will now let you keep track of it. The development cycle of the Android version is a little behind the iOS app, so we’d expect the feature to hit Google’s platform in the not too distant future.

Google pushes YouTube music videos with Google Now-style cards at the top of its search results

If you use Google to quickly search for a music video, you might notice a new card format right at the top of your search results.

As reported by Search Engine Watch, Google has started showing links to YouTube videos with a large, Google Now-style card at the top of the page. You can’t actually play them within the search engine, but the transparent play button makes it look like the YouTube player and, once clicked, will redirect you to its popular video-sharing site.

Not all music videos are listed in this way, but most official uploads from VEVO and individual artists are being shown in this way. There are also some instances where videos uploaded by fans are receiving the same treatment. Google told Search Engine Watch that the new feature affects other video services such as Vimeo and Dailymotion. While this is true, all of the cards show a player that is nowhere near as large or authentic as the mock-up used for YouTube.

With music streaming services such as Spotify and Rdio on the rise, Google wants to make sure that viewers still visit YouTube to watch and listen to their favorite tracks. By showing music videos so prominently in its search results, Google can protect YouTube’s popularity and encourage newcomers to use it for all of their audiovisual needs.
