![]() There are many clever tricks in here that put 2 head and shoulders over what I saw in Coda 1. I usually use PhpStorm with the IdeaVIM plugin, but after watching the video and playing around with the demo for a while, I bit. Sometimes I wish you “wrote” a little faster, but I am so grateful for what you have given us.Ī long holiday weekend is coming up (as you all well know). Coda 2 must have been a labor of love and doubtless included many long nights, tired eyes, and miles of mockups on white boards. Like well crafted prose - an iterative process if there ever was one - your code is poetry. In a similar way, you - the plural you (Team Panic!) - are like Styron. I wish he had written more, but I am so grateful for what he gave us. He was not a prolific writer, but what he did produce was (nearly) perfect. “Sophie’s Choice,” “Darkness Visible,” “Confessions of Nat Turner,” and more. (Deja vu!) (My current toolkit: Transmit, Coda, BBEdit, CS5.5.) You get the idea. You put out a few nifty apps in the aughts, but nothing I drooled over. I required anyone who worked with me to use Transmit. ![]() But Transmit was such an order of magnitude better than anything else. I know it was (at least) as far back as Oct 28, 1999. I had to go deep into my archives to determine when I first started using your products namely, Transmit. (Not to worry, I have Coda and will be purchasing Coda 2 and Diet Coda forthwith.) But I just had to say something - to you, all of you. It’s hard to support people via comments. NOTE: DO NOT post Support issues as comments on this blog post. We’re on the case and we’re working constantly. Of course, these are major new releases, so There Will Be Bugs. Yet, at the same time, it might not ever happen again… maybe, from here on out, we do smaller, more gradual releases over time, like a normal, sane company would.Ĭoda 2 and Diet Coda are now available for sale.Īnd we really, really think you’ll really like them. ![]() It’s not everyday you get to launch what we just launched. I’m super excited and proud of what we put together. Looking at it today I think I can finally start to feel that it was worth it. The huge scope, the uncertainty and difficulty of trying to coordinate with Apple and the App Stores, the fact that we are doing two major releases at once which we’ve never done before… well, it’s been a challenge. It even took a toll on me: for the first time in nearly 15 years these two apps had me waking up every morning basically sick to my stomach with nerves. 6 months later, we find ourselves in the middle of this huge, awesome, Christmas-like update that will rock socks, but which comes at a price: a longer period of development so users get really antsy, more strain on engineers who already work so hard, a whole lot more bugs and testing, everything. Then, we start off thinking we’ll do something simple, and write “No major rewrite!” on the whiteboard. First, we’re busy working on other things, but nobody knows that. ![]()
