Re: Show HN: Goodbye Old Editor – Reinventing coding with the cloud

After taking a look I want to ask about a few features I would expect to say goodbye to my "old" editor (I actually just migrated from VIM to Emacs). Are they there, or are they going to be included?

    - auto completion, file names, var names, classes and functions, words in general etc. (like in: vim - omnicomplete, emacs: auto-complete)

    - fill column marker (v: colorcolumn, e: many, fill-column-indicator)

    - code outline (v: TagBar, e: Speedbar)

    - refactoring support, rename var/fun/class (many options)

    - go to definition (for Python v: python-mode, e: elpy; or generically with ctags, etags)

    - comment region (v: NERDCommenter, e: comment-region)

    - declare and insert snippets (v: vim-snipmate, e: yasnippet and others)

    - rectangular selection and operations (v: Ctrl-v, e: C-x r ... or rect-mark)

    - find file in project (fuzzy matching optional) (v: Command-T, e: find-file-in-project, ifind, others)

    - find in files (v: :(vim)grep or other, e: lgrep or multiple others)

    - change/set surrounding "'([{ chars (v: surround, e: wrap-region or (somewhat) paredit)
And probably many others I don't remember now.

I don't want to sound like I'm saying the product is a bad idea or that what we have now is sufficient and we don't need new things. I'm honestly very used to these features and they make me more productive; if I was a hobbyist, I could switch to less featureful editor right now, but for a professional your productivity determines your income for the large part. So, while I like the idea of in-browser editors, I cannot use them unless they have the features I need. If they are in different places then ok, but not if they are lacking.

That's incredible. I've been trying all morning, and do not stop to amaze me.

Thanks, I'm happy that you like it :)

Hey man, i just found a problem with Ruby. When i run the demo code with sinatra, tries to download dependencies with Bundler, i got this error:

Installing dependencies using Bundler version 1.3.2 Running: bundle install --without development:test --path vendor/bundle --binstubs vendor/bundle/bin --deployment The source :rubygems is deprecated because HTTP requests are insecure. Please change your source to 'https://rubygems.org if possible, or 'http://rubygems.org if not. You are trying to install in deployment mode after changing your Gemfile. Run `bundle install` elsewhere and add the updated Gemfile.lock to version control. You have added to the Gemfile: * source: rubygems repository http://rubygems.org/ * sinatra (= 1.1.0) * thin !

Thanks, that's good feedback. We're in beta now. So we're still improving things.
