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!

TitaniumApp, but no GoldenApp

After much disappointment with Adobe AIR and the whole dark age that it covered us with, there seemed to be a sparkle of light somewhere far in the horizon – Titaniumapp, his name was.

Not quite enough AIR to breath with

  • 15 December

Adobe is really trying to bake something new and fresh like AIR, unfortunately it's doing it using outdated half-products, which can constitute in some really disappointing results.

WTFramework bookmarklet

Ever wondered which JavaScript framework was used on a specific website but was too lazy to check the source code for the answer? Fear no more WTFramework is here.

Is Espresso in reality TextMate 2?

  • 28 September

Not a long time ago MacRabbit has released info on a new project of theirs, called Espresso, which is a code editor. The project seems to be a hell load of an amazing one – as amazing as TextMate was years ago. So the obvious question is, whether Macromates and MacRabbit are now one.

A pill for the cover-art headache

  • 18 May

Getting cover artwork was always a pain in the neck for me, which partly disappeared with the switch to iTunes and its Get Album Cover option.
