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

Jon, if you're looking for ideas what to work on next, please consider creating an email client. With fast UI & search, tree view for emails, proper support of plain text emails etc.

Hey Jon! Thank for building Sublime Text and now Merge! Long time user.

Question about Sublime Merge, is it possible to use smerge as a diff tool without git?

Seems like it is not possible right now. Curious, if you are planning to add this in the future.

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

Sublime Text uses Skia.

Whenever I try to do something I get an error: xcrun: error: invalid active developer path (some path here), missing xcrun at: some other path here

Try running "sudo xcode-select -s /path/to/your/Xcode.app` in the terminal, or install the command like tools if you don't have Xcode.

No dark theme in the tryout version, that's evil. I love Sublime Text and I believe that Sublime Merge will surely do an exceptional job, but I love my eyes even more, so I'll pass this time.

I think the point of a tryout version is to make you buy the software.

The point of a tryout version is to allow you to try the software, in order to make you buy the software.

For some people (e.g. people who have delayed sleep-phase syndrome), a dark theme is essentially an accessibility requirement. They won't be able to try the software if it doesn't have it.

Imagine a piece of software where the demo version doesn't have screen-reader support. Would that make sense? How do you expect a blind person demo the software?

$99 for this? When there's git cli, magit, fugitive (which you should be using if you're really really in need of a GUI (and which is also better than whatever the demo is showing))? I'm all for paying for your tooling if you can afford it but overcharging much?

$99 is peanuts considering how much most devs make and it’s something that you’re likely to be using at least 5-7 days a week — even in the case of weekdays only (260 days/year), you come out at about $0.38/day. The sublime guys aren’t dropping major new releases often, either, so that $99 is likely going to last you for 2-3 years minimum, making the price even more incredibly cheap.
