We're building on/and hoping to contribute to the community Code Fixes/Code Actions being built for Roslyn as far as refactoring goes in C#. We have some plans of providing a similar interface for other CodeEngines to implement diagnostics/fixes. The font is Input Sans [0]. Great font. We wanted to try and package it with Scrawl but we never heard back from the author. Its free though, go try it out! [0] - http://inp…

Thanks! It would be fantastic if individual refactorings could be packaged up and shared via github or some kind of package manager...

Thats pretty much the plan, we have some fun ideas here but I need to prove out the UX before I can share much more

Founder of fluentCODE here. Really happy to see this posted, we just pushed really hard last night to get the site up. Lots of good comments -- I'll just add that we will be a lot more than just a C#/VB/JS editor. We've got plans to build CodeEngines for F#, TypeScript, CoffeeScript, CSS/SCSS/SASS/LESS, PHP, python and lots of framework specific bits for each of those. We're a small team working hard on a product we…

This looks interesting and I would love to try it so do you all have any plans of releasing a trial version or giving a trial period?

When we hit v1.0 we'll have a trial download available.

SQL seems to be missing from that list. Is that on your roadmap at some point?

We want to do some cool stuff with SQL down the road. We'd start with features like a query result browser, but could expand that into things like query analysis too.

We don't have it pegged for a specific release just yet though.

Yep! It's in the backlog; to start we'll probably use srclib [1] under the hood to provide the code intel bits, and we'll do some special UI wrappers for bundler/gems.

Smart timing. With .NET pushing for cross-platform, there's going to be space for a good IDE until (if they ever do) the porting of Visual Studio. How heavy is it? I was looking for a lite IDE (if there is such a thing) for my netbook that installs all in one directory.

We want to make sure it's light enough to run on netbooks/travel computers.

We've got a Dell Venue 8 with an Atom processor lying around that we're using as a test device to make sure things still run well under CPU constraints.

We haven't looked too close yet at one-directory deployment or running off a USB stick, but I just added a sticky note to our backlog to see if we can do it cleanly.

.Net is going cross platform. What are you going to use if you develop on OSX or Linux? It won't be VS

Xamarin Studio.

Personally I'm not too fond of Xamarin Studio. I really hope Scrawl will be a good alternative for writing C#.

Neither free nor open source. Does it matter? This is not a text editor. This could be THE best non-bloated IDE. The price seems pretty reasonable to me. Bought it already!

You bought it without even test driving a trial?

Yes. I don't see any reason why not.
