I've tried the app for only 5 minutes and I love it already - it's a much more elegant solution than having to use "jekyll --server -auto" and localhost:4000.
The thing that bugs me though is that the list of websites doesn't expand beyond three sites- you have to scroll to see the fourth site. Shouldn't the list dialog expand to fit all the sites?

#32Something like this with Django (i.e run the runserver command would be tight).

#33Well, it took me 15 minutes to figure out the cause of 404 error.
If you DON'T have index.html in your root folder it will return this error, python's SimpleHTTPServer module does much better job and gives you list of your folders.

#34Wow this is nicely done. I added a homebrew cask for it so it can be installed via `brew cask install anvil`. https://github.com/phinze/homebrew-cask/commit/aff3777759dfc...

#35Suggestions on getting the favicon to show up?

#36Thank you, this is really great. I love simple little things like this that just make life better.

If it's a static site, put the favicon in the root directory. We're planning a fix that finds favicons no matter where they are. Sorry!

Left you a message there, but just in case you miss it - Very cool! Would you mind linking to http://anvilformac.com/download so this automatically downloads the latest version?

#39Earlier quoted context omitted.
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!
I'm curious as to whether you can submit an app to the MAS which integrates with non-MAS apps? Any idea whether Apple allows that? e.g. so you could offload any frowned-upon functionality into external apps/services, and maybe promote or offer automated download & install functionality within your own app...

#40Never heard of Pow before, but on inspection it looks very interesting and could save a bunch of time.
Anyone know if there's any way to make it work with python (WSGI or similar) services? It's kinda hard to search 'pow' without ending up at various exponentiation functions :/
