Really cool idea and hack. Unrelated, I wonder what Panic is going to do to keep up in terms software products. Coda was awesome, but then Sublime Text came along.. And then Atom came along.
Panic makes some of the most beautifully designed OS X software, so I hope they release something new and relevant soon.
Just spit-balling, but they should make a native OS X application to provision and manage infrastructure (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, DigitalOcean).
- dhimes 10y agoI wrote them and begged them to release "Prompt" for Windows. Pretty please. They politely said "no."
- draw_down 10y agoYeah, they're not a Windows shop.
- danpalmer 10y agoI've thought similar things - Coda hasn't kept up with my progression as a developer - but after speaking to our designer at work I'm not convinced they have a problem. Coda is not for people who do full-time software engineering - it's much more targeted at designers, people who are iterating rapidly, possibly for clients, and for whom FTP is a perfectly reasonable deployment mechanism. Unison is niche, but the only good piece of software in its category as far as I'm aware. And Transmit is one of the best pieces of software I've used. I unfortunately have no use for it, but many people do. Finally, I'm pretty sure that Firewatch did ok, so I'm sure that's some funding for them too. I think Panic are in for the long haul. They're never going to be 'huge', but I think they're going to be financially successful for years to come.
- windsurfer 10y agoOne has to suppose that the primary reason they won't ever be 'huge' is their Apple devotion and reliance.
- codeisawesome 10y agoI feel their software is already relevant - I am about to buy Transmit iOS and Prompt, at least. Very helpful stuff for the price (and deliciously designed too).
