I've admired Panic for the entirety of my career, they're always doing really nice work, and I'm glad they're still going strong in a time where native desktop apps aren't really the du jour.

I don't get paid equity. I exchange my time for a salary, same way most people work all over the world for centuries.
I don't understand why every editor these days come with a minimap, and many of them turn it on by default. I know Sublime introduced it but what does it do exactly? Why is everyone copying it? It just shows you the shapes of blocks of texts of a long file from ten meters away. It doesn't tell you what they are or what they do, or even how to get there. Every IDE since at least the early 2000s gave you an index or a…
> "No-Fuss Analytics & Privacy Settings" I can't recall a time that analytics have ever made a "fuss" for me, but that's not why I dislike them :( I don't own a modern Mac, so I can't check the settings out myself, but that's the first thing I would look at after reading this in the features list. Looks great otherwise though, and it's cute how it rhymes with "Coda".
I used to have coda. I guess they renamed it Nova: https://panic.com/coda/ I wanted to love (Coda) it but it wasn't good enough for me to switch. This looks slick, but I work multi-platform so this while it looks great, if doesn't do linux I'm out. They even talk about the lack of cross platform in the copy. If I need speed I'll use Vim or emacs. For day to day I bought the JetBrains suite. For a pretty inovative com…
I will reiterate my chief complaint with this: it should have just copied the VSCode extensions API from day one and relied on easier porting of them.
It's a bit pricey.
Highlighting support is bad: > For the curious, Nova has built-in support for CoffeeScript, CSS, Diff, ERB, Haml, HTML, INI, JavaScript, JSON, JSX, Less, Lua, Markdown, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, Sass, SCSS, Smarty, SQL, TSX, TypeScript, XML, and YAML. Youre supporting stuff like Diff and Haml, but not stuff like Go or Rust?
And here's the one of the three for Go which looks the most robust from cursory glance: https://github.com/GwynethLlewelyn/Go.novaextension
Both of these were found by searching the built-in extensions library.
Meh. Sublime had every one of these features 5+ years ago. Best of luck to them though.
Nice! The download was painless, the memory footprint seems to be lower than VSCode. The set of extensions is really nice for 18 months of work since the original launch. When will there be a Rego extension? (Rego is the OPA policy language)
Nova is a proper Mac app, which is one of the reasons I love it so much. No Electron to gobble up RAM and CPU needlessly and no slow multi-platform Java stuff with a wrong UI.
