MacRabbit – Espresso

Will Wilkins — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 05:34:06 +0000

MacRabbit’s Espresso looks like it could be a nice new web development application. The Live Preview feature that will be available in Espresso (even for dynamic web apps) is the only reason I use CSSEdit to write CSS.

Inspired but a piece of Jon Hicks’ impressions of Google Chrome, Shaun Inman wrote two JavaScript bookmarklets to navigate sites with “previous” and “next” buttons.

Pretty cool idea. However, I have only gotten it to work on Flickr.

Panic Coda 1.5

Will Wilkins — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 03:24:50 +0000

Panic released version 1.5 of one of my favorite web developement and design tools today, Coda.

Some major changes in this release included:

It is now possible to do a multi-file find and replace across local files. You can choose to search all open files, all files in a particular folder, or all files in your current Site.
Coda 1.5 provides built in support (checkout, commit, revert, update, and rollback) for Subversion operations.
This release includes improved organization of Clips. Clips can also now be imported and exported. Using the new codaclips: URL handler allows you to create a web page link that adds a clip to Coda. Sam Brown has already integrated this feature into Coda Clips
Users can also create custom reference books in Coda 1.5.

Read more about the updates on Steven Frank’s site or in the official release notes.

Indexhibit is a very minimal CMS (with a cool name) designed to create portfolios and other types of collections.

Indexhibit is a web application used to build and maintain an archetypal, invisible website format that combines text, image, movie and sound.

Check out the participants list for some of the ways people are using it or drop by Leah Shea to see a portfolio in action.

Speedy Web Search Apps/Shortcuts

Will Wilkins — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 02:59:23 +0000

Shaun Inman has released Shortwave, an “extensible quick-search and shortcut system” in the form of a browser bookmarklet with a hosted JavaScript file.

Rather than passing search items though a domain that he didn’t control, Dominic Szablewski has created (and caused some controversy) QuickSearch.js with similar functionality but allows you to host the JavaScript on your web space.

WordPress Waves

In testing out Shortwave, I built some WordPress specific shortcuts for my custom waves.txt file. The added shortcuts are a WordPress plugin search, a WordPress Codex search, and a search of my site.
