That looks very interesting, but typing several lines of text rather than speaking them is painful to sit through. I would suggest turning off the music next time and just tell people what it is and how it works.

I actually like the typing - I can watch the video without having to turn sound on. (the reason why I hate screencasts normally). Makes it much easier to watch on the train or during a lecture.

If only the typing was a bit faster, it would be perfect.

This is incredible. I was particularly happy when I noticed Chrome filepaths for Mac, Linux, and Windows - some of the more powerful Sublime plugins (looking at you, LiveReload and that really powerful Markdown plugin) were developed by Mac guys who didn't bother porting them to Windows. Not that I'm angry at the aforementioned Mac guys (it's not like they're getting paid to make me free stuff) but it's nice to see s…

The linux path is the same as the Mac one, which is pretty lol. It's /usr/bin/google-chrome on most systems I think.

It looks like a great start. I don't think it will yet pull me away from a dual monitor with ST2 + Chrome Inspector + Live Reload, but if it is further polished I think it could.

Live Reload appears to be OSX only, and this looks much more simple to setup than Guard-livereload.

I use sublime 2 + live reload on linux all the time

$70 isn't a lot of money. Is it an hour of your time? Maybe two? If people don't want to pay that's fine, use one of the great open source editors. Saying you don't have the money doesn't make it ok to violate the license. rms works hard to give you emacs for free. The Sublime guys are trying to earn a living.

70 US Dollar equals 643.45 South African Rand. To put that in perspective: R650 is a basic grocery shop for my small family for a week. I have a day job, a baby under a year old, another kid reaching teenagerdom and a bootstrapped startup. My wife works part time. I wish more startups and even more mature companies would build in some sort of currency sensitive sliding scale for their pricing models. I know what a ba…

I know it's hard to implement and people will abuse it, but I always thought it would be nice if registration fees are per country or region, maybe scaled to the median income.

In that manner, more people could afford to buy a program and the developer could probably earn more income.

That said, I purchased Sublime Text, but I mostly use vim, because my brain is not wired for modeless editing :).

What's wrong with using the OSS stuff? It's free and that's the price that you want to pay. If more people used the OSS stuff, and helped to improve it then we'd all be better off. By stealing paid software, you aren't helping anyone but yourself. Even simply using the software and asking questions helps to build up the knowledge base. e.g.

Note that this is more then reloading the web-page. It actually seems to be doing hot code-replacement on the fly. I only know this from Java in the debug mode or JRebel. Having this work for Javascript will be really neat... I am feeling more and more confident that my move away from Webstorm to ST2 was the right one...

Like I said, it's a great start, but Chrome Inspector still does a lot more (right now), and I'm more apt to stay there -- but this is inspiring, and if it gets closer to feature parity with C.I. -- well it will be a no-brainer then, and I'd happily pay for it, too.

There are many different incarnations of "live reload"; it is definitely not OSX only. The concept is simple - refresh the front-end / back-end when and edit or save occurs.
