Thats not really how Pow[1] works. It's weird that there isn't any mention of Pow on that page if that's what it's using in the backend. I didn't download it since I'm not on 10.7, maybe it mentions it later. I wrote something similar ( https://github.com/rktjmp/ker-pow ) a while ago but never considered using it to actually make new ~/.pow/ links, I might add that in. Anvil is probably much more useful!

> Thats not really how Pow[1] works. I think you will find that is _exactly_ how Pow works. Because you're just creating a symlink (ln -s source_name link_name) you can name it whatever you want. (i.e. ln -s ~/sites/my_full_url.com.au ~/.pow/blog)

Nice little app. Would be handy to be able to edit the generated .dev URL to be different from the folder.

Maybe just make it so double clicking a site lets you rename it?

Right-click -> rename.

I'm very glad you didn't decide to go the Mac App Store route -- as sad as it sounds, MAS has incredible friction compared to an old fashioned zip

Our hands were tied. Installing 3rd party code, using the ~/.pow/ directory, and running on port 80 are all things that are frowned-upon. So it's easier to make it free!
