I think once Open Whisper Systems merge their products into Signal, that is going to be the best out there...Hopefully they will get the uptake they deserve.
My standard gripe with OpenText (or WhatsApp etc) is the identifier. A phone number sucks.
a) I hate the discoverability. Just because I install an app doesn't mean that my ex from ten years go should see that I'm online. Heck, my mom or aunt don't need to see me showing up in the address book either.
I like the idea of using the iPad as a second screen while I develop, keeping Dash at arm's reach all the time.
If you don't find the necessity for that on a Mac (or if your desk is short of space), use the OS X version, if you're on Windows, I suggest you take a look at Zeal (http://zealdocs.org).
Yep. Dash also has support for in-editor lookup. For sublime, highlight the function IE: app.use and hit ctrl+h, it'll popup the express documentation. Very handy!
I use Subtitles for months and it has been pretty good. I wonder what's the parameter to select the best subtitle for the release, I'd suggest that the user badge is more important than the number of downloads.
Lately I've been using Subtitles a bit less because I got a VIP subscription on OpenSubtitles, so when I download from the site I skip ads. Would be incredible to download the subtitles as VIP on Subtitles though.
> The original purpose of .MD is that it can be read without converting it to another format like HTML (...) .MD is designed not to be rendered for display, it is meant to be the display.
And this is the first paragraph from Markdown's introduction[1]:
> Markdown is a text-to-HTML conversion tool for web writers. Markdown allows you to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format, then convert it to structurally valid XHTML (or HTML).
Keywords here: "for web writers" and "convert it". Let me say it again: this is the first paragraph you read when you look for Markdown.
The link you are referring to is for a perl script to convert markdown to HTML. It is not markdown, the syntax, referred to in that article. You would have understood that if you read the next paragraph
"Thus, “Markdown” is two things: (1) a plain text formatting syntax; and (2) a software tool, written in Perl, that converts the plain text formatting to HTML. "
The article was about the former, your comment confused it with the later. Cheers.
I was actually referring to the actual price ($80) and the introductory price ($50). Remember Coda 2? Everyone with Coda 1 had to pay 50% off to upgrade. "Half" is a common upgrade price, 62.5% isn't. This example may not convince you, but I'm sure you can find others more fit.
Weeks before the release they had to reply tweets regarding if it would be a paid upgrade and they said "they would only know in the release". This bothered me the most, we could all be told previously that it would be a paid upgrade at least.
Also, their reply doesn't sound like they had a solid business strategy at all.

Of course, I already bought Sketch 3, it doesn't mean I can't be frustrated by how they handled the whole thing. I just hope they learn the lesson for Sketch 4.
Is Macaw targeted to designers who don't know how to code?
I recall reading one of the branches from that "responsive sites are all lookalike" thread from last week which stated that one of the problems is that the design was thought out by developers. Agree or disagree, the other way around that would be the target audience for Macaw?
How does it stands against RapidWeaver for the casual user? The price tag is challenging.
