Espresso wish-list

  • 28 January

I've been using Espresso since the first private beta came down on us. Here's a compilation of my wishes.

I’ll try to skip the UI stuff as it needs to be re-designed from scratch in my opinion.

  • Smart code indention - when pasting the code should auto adjust its indention depth.
  • Smart quote – select a string, hit single-quote or double-quote and presto, the string gets automatically quoted. This is super handy while working with JavaScript.
  • Color picker – while working with CSS files what I need is a dynamic color picker, you select a hex or an rgb value, hit Cmd+Shift+C and the picker appears with the passed color value pre-selected.
  • That’s actually definable inside the theme file. More accurate syntax highlighting – especially JavaScript syntax. Methods should have different color than variables.
  • Find in project – a simple global search (and replace), please?
  • Shortcuts – more of them. Where’s the project filter shortcut.
  • Bracket highlighter – just like Code Coda and TextMate do it.
  • Subversion integration – at least show which files are to be committed.
  • Fixed Command+W – should close the active tab no the project window as it currently does.

Make it happen good people of Macrabbit!

LastTweet.com

  • 1 January

Introducing LastTweet.com, a small collaborative project Adam and I were working on for the past few weeks.

Didn’t you ever wish there was a simple way to display your recent Twitter status inside the Last.fm’s sidebar – I, sure did? Well, with LastTweet.com you can do just that, in no–time (three steps to be exact).

What it does in generating a nice BBCode you can just paste straight into your sidebar.

As for now it only supports Last.fm, but perhaps in the future we’ll allow other websites to use the widget.
