Re: CSS editor built with Cappuccino
#2I could never use such an online editor for a couple of reasons:
- CSS editing requires a lot of shifting back and forth between preview/css and code completion. A native (mac) app like CSSEdit allows you to open up a 'live preview' that instantly refreshes while you're typing your css.
- Access to your local filesystem
- Although Cappuccino makes for an 'almost-desktop-like' experience. It's still not the real deal in terms of responsiveness and gui-rendering and you can immediately feel that while using an app like this one. It's a great framework for CRM, TweetDeck-like tools, Inventory systems and the like, but not for a task that requires space, previews and immediate 1:1 response on actions.
Could anyone imagine himself using a tool like this?

#3"CSS Editor" toolbar icon seems to be ripped off CSSEdit.

- Rounded corners
- Shadows
- Animations on hover
A poorly-designed site doesn't instill much confidence in your product when your target audience is designers.

#6I find it kind of strange to restrain the rather unlimited possibilities of web pages and web apps to the small subset of interaction patterns that the OS GUI field allows - i have been way more impressed by all the slick, simple interfaces i found in web apps than by recent desktop developments. I wish the ease and beauty and possibilities of web dev would influence the desktop, rather than the other way around.

#7I am not sure if it's on purpose but the div with the text "class4" in it actually has the class set to "class3" and the div with "class3" is actually set to "class4". Also I found it unintuitive to click a selector on the left and then have to click "css editor" from the menu bar v.s. clicking/dbl clicking on the selector and seeing that dialog.

#8Looks like a pretty straight up ripoff of Coda, except coda is awesome and this is pretty clunky.

I agree trying to make desktop style apps in-browser doesn't work, but I don't think the answer is make desktop apps more like browser apps. I can't think of a browser app that I would tolerate if it was presented as a desktop one... I except a -lot- more on the desktop.

You're looking at the limitations of the application itself, not the potential of it, and not the full potential of what Cappuccino is capable of.
