What is Digg?73 Comments
- KevyKev, on 10/12/2007, -3/+28I don't know, I kinda liked this phrase: "I nearly shat when I first saw this."
- mikev, on 10/12/2007, -8/+29Not only that, but the writer decided to screw Panic over for some ***** "exclusive" write-up. This was supposed to celebrate Panic's 10th year, and now it isn't as exciting thanks to these guys.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -8/+24Too bad the editor of this article has such poor grammar and can't proof-read.
- tizz66, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14I can see why they wouldn't like it, but put it this way... I had no idea there was a new app being released tomorrow until I read this.
- chrisutley, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10It won't appeal to everybody, but I'm sure they will find an audience for this tool. Panic is the kind of software developer that makes the Mac experience special.
- jebudas, on 10/12/2007, -6/+15all positive "leaked" news is intentional.
- shadownight, on 10/12/2007, -6/+13I'd be surprised if Panic authorized them to publish that review... seems to me I wouldn't want another site to completely spill the beans on my new release a day before.
- aptmunich, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Looks sweet!
I'm currently running a combo of Subethaedit, Transmit, Rapidweaver and my 2 favorite css reference sites open in Safari.
To have most of that functionality in one single app would be really useful.
Let's hope they have a promo offer for transmit customers! - koregaonpark, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10I wouldn't mind, if that site got on Digg, Slashdot etc. It's free publicity and promotion.
- tizz66, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7It looks really nice, I'm just not sure I could give up Textmate for anything but CSS. But I'll certainly give it a fair try.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8Dreamweaver's colour coding is excellent, I agree.
- thaslaw, on 10/12/2007, -9/+15Dude. It's a superb review that does a great job of conveying the feel of the app and why it's so worth using. Amongst other things, I work as an editor and seriously, the minor mistakes in the writing really did not prevent me enjoying the review. I have more trouble reading Tom Clancy. This is still better than the majority of reviews in print magazines. I forget - how much did it cost you to read the review?

Right now I am using skedit because it is an filemanager/editor/ftp client bundled together. Its very good, but Im looking for something a bit more. User interface looks to be very clean and elegant. Hope they have a trial version right away tomorrow.
- danbedford, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Bring it on Panic! I've been wondering what's going on with Transmit updates and I guess this is the answer to where they're development has been focused. This looks like it will fit PERFECTLY with my workflow. The terminal being buit-in is an amazing addition so I can ssh into my webservers and edit configuration files all in the same app. Awesome.
- caliform, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Wow, it seems my wild speculation on the 'icon post' earlier today was true. A real, feature-rich WYSIWYG remote and local web editor, with Terminal, and books management (not too sure about that one, is that useful at all? I keep my books, uh, physically near) and a damn neat tabs workflow. Seems like a great app to me!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Because thats all people use Dreamweaver for these days, and this will be a fraction of the price and have a much more streamlined and intelligently designed interface.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5I don't think anything comes close to Textmate/CSSEdit/Transmit, so I don't think you will ever be happy
- clesch, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5While I'm not all that happy with my current workflow (Textmate/CSSedit over SFTP with Transmit), I don't think that this application will come anywhere close to the features of the aforementioned individual applications. (customization through bundles/scopes/snippets anyone?)
I still can't wait to try it out. - W3bbo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Dreamweaver for syntax highlighting? A lot of people can't discern the difference between a proper implementation of intellisense versus a hardcoded dropdown list and some coloring here and there. I use Visual Studio 2005 because it parses my XHTML, CSS, (and most importantly, JS) as I write them, giving me proper intellisense. Dreamweaver doesn't come close.
I recommend you try VS before Coda (or try them both next to each other), you'd be surprised how non-evil Microsoft is in this department. - milezteg, on 10/12/2007, -7/+11Haha yeah. I was in a real hurry to get that written and published, and I think when it was submitted to digg I was still editing it. Should be all fixed up.
- LeberMac, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Bravo, Panic software. More excellent software.
- phatvolvo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Zend Studio, Symfony and Subversion here... I'm sorry, I used to use Dreamweaver and FTP, and I can't see an editor with FTP working as well as SVN. In fact I can't see anything because there are no screenshots!
- D3koy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Hmm...sounds really interesting, certainly worth checking out...Free trial?
- d00d, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6This app was going to get on Digg regardless of this bean spilling review. The "they'll be happy about the free publicity" angle just doesn't hold up. This review was straight up self-serving. All other angles are simply rationalizations.
- TroubleInMind, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5Don't drive an SUV because you like the radio. If you never use WYSIWYG mode anyway, you want syntax highlighting and source editing with FTP/SFTP use a programmer's editor like UltraEdit32.
- vault, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3@caliform
Is it WYSIWYG? Maybe I misread it...I see they've removed the screenshots now anyway. - ElbridgeGerry, on 10/12/2007, -5/+7http://www.duggmirror.com
- winnopeg, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5Panic would have rather this be announced by them. They only had a small beta team of long time users, not a send us an emal and it's yours... That in itself says something.
- snowwrestler, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3@mikev and others
You have got to be kidding me. Are you just looking for something to bitch about? Most software companies would kill to have their new app frontpaged on Digg the day before it comes out--if they could. This doesn't ruin the birthday party--it's more like adding a few thousand new presents from all the people reading this.
Honestly, this is not like ruining the ending of Harry Potter. This is a commercial app that is likely to sell a lot more copies because of the exposure it's getting right now. I would never have thought to check Panic's site tomorrow, and I'm customer and fan of Transmit. But now you know I will. - mikee7, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I'll stick with TextMate, CSSEdit, and CyberDuck
- asuraci, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3I'm always going to php.net/function to go over what I'm doing, so I could actually see this as becoming useful. Actual books probably aren't as convenient as something on the screen.
- koregaonpark, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4Do you have anything to say to that claim, Miles Evans (the writer)?
- AceTracer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yes but CSS styles markup. How can you write CSS without the markup? Or markup without CSS? They're completely dependent on each other.
- rspeed, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2O_O
Gimme! - sirjimithy, on 08/28/2008, -0/+1They do. You save $10 if you have a Transmit license.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I'm not quite sure why I'm being dugg down for mentioning Eclipse. Textmate is a nice editor if you're working on small projects, but if you need a full IDE with perspectives, built in dictionary and method browsers as well as CVS or Subversion support Eclipse is simply in another class.
Having said that, I love Textmate and use it all the time, along with BBEdit for certain things. It's just a matter of choosing the right tool for the job. Where will Coda fit in? I suppose we'll find out. I'm looking forward to giving it a whirl. - rstrb8r, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I just hope these guys know that they are using a name already trademarked. Could be beneficial for them to make a name change NOW before the packaging, CD duplication, etc. happens. Name change could potentially save them from a $$$$$ lawsuit:
http://www.makemusic.com/trademarks.aspx - nayr, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2emacs! it does everything in that app :p
I'm glad, though, this looks like an app that kicks all those bloated expensive products out of the water. - bradleyland, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Having all these apps open used to bother me until I tweaked my working environment a little bit. Exposé combined with VirtueDesktops has cleaned up my workspace considerably. I run TextMate + CSSEdit + an open browser window on one desktop, then an iTerm session on a second desktop. My third desktop is used for whatever other tasks I may need to do, like research a method for achieving something in CSS, looking up an API reference, or taking a break.
Not fragmenting your work helps a lot as well. If you are not already, you should be running a local dev environment that allows you to preview your work _before_ you deploy to your live environment. I used to think it was really cool that I could use apps like Transmit to edit files live from my sites, but a couple of screw-ups along the way have convinced me otherwise. Once I started using RoR + Capistrano, I recognized the value of a local dev environment with some type of deployment work flow. I now treat all my sites the same way, and it has salvaged my sanity. - rstrb8r, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Press release and screenshot s are on Panic's site now.
- AceTracer, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I'm still confused as to why so many people use a seperate application for CSS. This makes absolutely no sense to me.
- Ashepp, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2I'm diving into LAMP development and trying to figure out the best toolset for Windows. Beyond Dreamweaver are their other good alternatives you'd recommend ? Is Visual Studio an option to look at ? Anything else from an a la carte perspective ?
- DeaPeaJay, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I sure am glad Panic didn't get bought out by Apple for Audion all those years ago!
- phatvolvo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1on second thought with terminal built in it'd be fine for svn. Might have to give this app a try before I rubbish it
- DeaPeaJay, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It's for those who prefer not to do the CSS by hand.
- jawngee, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1PHPEclipse. Eclipse in general. Although I was a fan of Nusphere PHPEdit too, but I think eclipse is more "professional" overall.
- chrisutley, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1"This is America, anyone can write about anything (within reason)."
Unless you signed an NDA to enter the Beta and then spilled the info anyway. I think it's unfortunate, but it happens to companies as big as Apple and as small as Panic. - wizard13335, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2It probably won't have all the features of the individual apps, but imagine having one window for all your CSS, HTML, FTP, Terminal and Book items. That is much better than having a screen cluttered with a TextWrangler, Camino, RapidWeaver, multiple CSSEdit (until tabs are added in the next version), and Transmit windows. However, I just bought CSSEdit, so I'll probably stick to that for a while, especially considering that Coda's probably gonna be extremely expensive. Can't wait to try it out, though.
- electrichead, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1The real bonus of Dreamweaver is creating code snippets and assigning keyboard shortcuts to them. I don't know many other editors that allow this. I mostly use Notepadd++ now, mainly because of the very useful TextFX functions and how fast it is.
