I only wish the real Textmate followed up on the huge list of todo's and feature requests people have been submitting. I think a core update is long overdue.
Can't agree with you enough! Do the developers of Textmate ever listen to these demands?
From what I recall, they are developing version 2.0 in parallel. Relevant post from their blog: http://blog.macromates.com/2010/why-2-0-is-not-developed-in-...
Excellent. Now drop in some version control (mercurial for my own preference :)) and we are onto a winner. Dropbox is great for syncing between your development machines, but version control is essential for deployment and team development. Combining the two is really powerful.
This is fantastic. This is exactly how I foresee the future documents and editing. Dropbox, or something like that, provides the service of saving the files. Then web apps are granted access to them and can edit them. Local storage becomes a cache, and Dropbox is where the files are "really" stored. The advantage of this, of course, is that all your stuff becomes device-independent. Log in from any device that has we…

How difficult it is to create a repo on the folder in your Dropbox? (The answer, of course, is "it isn't"...)

As a solution to the bug you mentioned ("The Dropbox API supports the standard OAuth web flow which just requires you to have an active session on dropbox.com"), where you say that you need an active session on dropbox.com to use Dropbox's OAuth API. Judging by your response, it's clear that there isn't a bug, and you either just don't know how OAuth works or you don't understand what an active session is. OAuth does…
> Judging by your response, it's clear that there isn't a bug, and you either just don't know how OAuth works or you don't understand what an active session is. OAuth doesn't require an active session on a website, and an active session is having a page loaded in your browser. The OAuth web flow requires an active session on dropbox.com. Without an active session Dropbox can not verify who the user is. You still didn…
I thought you were saying that you couldn't get the Dropbox API authenticated using OAuth working unless you had a continuous active session on dropbox.com. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

BTW, I'm the author of this software. So I've been trying to figure out how to save things locally for awhile. I realized that HTML5 has a File System API which in Chrome 9 can FINALLY write to the local SANDBOXED environment. This feature is planned!!
I started using CouchDB to save locally, or anywhere. It seems to be working out well. What are your plans with the future of this ide?
This is awesome -- but badly needs some interface work. We've built a similar tool for our CMS also on Bespin/Skywriter/Ace. Here is a screenshot: http://www.flickr.com/photos/gethifi/4952045778/ Little things like icons on the left are really helpful when trying to browse a file structure. In any case, I'll likely be using this once and a while in a pinch since I keep all of my client files in Dropbox. I'm also exci…
Joel, I actually saw your app and thought that it was quite amazing looking (it gave me hope in Ace actually!)
