Share a project action board in real time, see milestones and upcoming goals. Easy-to-use features allows for edits in the project timeline, and the tracker predicts timeline for next goal achievement based on previously entered data. You can create individual project lines, or stories, that come together to create an epic, or larger project. There are charts showing your historical trends and anything else you'd like to monitor. This tool works with various other apps, listed here: http://www.pivotaltracker.com/community/app-bazaar
Web development
Pixlr online photo editor
This is a free to use online image editor with a fair amount of features. I use this primarily for quick editing jobs such as resizing and cropping small images. The online editor will load images from your computer or via url which is incredibly handy. There is a firefox plug-in available too which makes the time it takes to view an image, edit, and save it, a fast process. The source code for the application is closed, but the dev team does offer a free API. Pixlr also has tools for mobile devices, one of which is paid app for $1.

PL/C
PL/C (Programming Language Cornell) was a programming language based on PL/I developed at Cornell University in the early 1970s as an entry-level language to facilitate programming instruction. It was occasionally used to introduce humanists to programming concepts, though it is unclear whether it was used for humanities-oriented research in its own right.

PL/I
PL/I was an early programming language commonly used for humanities research, developed at a time when most programming languages were not intended to work with strings of text. In addition to direct processing, it was also used to program systems and tools developed specifically for the humanities.

Pliny
Pliny was a tool for working with annotations when conducting personal scholarly research, and can be used with both digital and print materials. It also had data manangement and organizational features, and was designed to facilitate reading, reacting to that reading and forming an interpretation. Pliny stored all data on the user's computer rather than remotely on the web.
