Hi HN - Jon Skinner here, I made Sublime Text and Sublime Merge, alongside the rest of the Sublime HQ programming team - Will, Dylan and Benjamin. Let me know if you have any questions! Edit: there's also the announcement blog post, at https://www.sublimetext.com/blog/articles/sublime-merge

Do you guys use OpenGL to render the UI widgets? Or do you use something more high-level like Skia?

Looks like magit, without the very good editor integration that makes magit awesome. Seems nice tho.

Presumably as time goes on it will become more and more integrated with Sublime Text, which is arguably a "very good editor". Or is that not what you mean?

The beauty of magit is that the ui is just text, so you can navigate through the entire interface using just your keyboard without "shortcuts". Selecting lines to stage is just selecting lines in the diff like you'd select lines in the editing buffer. Its really nice and caters to power users, I don't know of anything else like it.

I can't figure out how to configure SSH key or where to find a documentation for the settings file :( EDIT: Ok I found out it just takes the SSH key from ~/.ssh But now it complains about C:\\Program Files\\Sublime Merge \\ssh-askpass-sublime.exe missing.

I am getting the same issue.

That exe file is not even in the directory for it.

Looks nice but what I really want is a native client that works with github PRs. I know this was probably a design decision to remain a git client not a github one but still.

It should have an option to install a Github-plugin for integration, maybe a bitbucket and gitlab ones too if feasible.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

We built the animations using a slightly enhanced version of anim_encoder, which I currently have online at https://github.com/wbond/anim_encoder . One of the changes was adding pngquant which helped compress the images a bunch beyond pngcrush.

You will get better results by swapping the two. Pngquant stops at color quantization. Also, most of those savings came from near-optimal Deflate compression.

Thanks for the tip!

Any plans to switch from Gtk+ 2 to 3 on Linux? Scaling of native dialogs isn't very good with HiDPI displays atm :/

I built a prototype of it at one point, but was running into performance issues trying to get pixels onto the screen. I'd like to revisit this, as the hidpi experience really is a lot better with GTK3.

Wait... you use GTK on Linux? For what, exactly?

Looks great Jon, happy you are expanding the Sublime family. Can I suggest Sublime Terminal as a possible addition? I'd happily pay for a decent terminal experience on Windows and with your cross platform toolkit it looks like you could deliver that. ConEmu et al just don't do it for me.

+1, windows is unusable without a good terminal - my current favorite is ConEmu but it comes with some quirks.

Hyper2 is pretty good for windows. Also the built in VSCode terminal is serviceable.

I almost purchased before downloading it just because of how much I trust you and your team to make high quality software, and as a way to throw more money in your direction.

Been messing with it for a few minutes and it is awesome. Been looking for a good Sublime-like git tool for years.

This a million time. With VSCode being more popular than sublime text now, not having first class git integration just after installing sublime text is a serious reason not to use it.

SublimeGit?

Yeah, but actually integrated...
