Same. Hotdog was the first html editor I ever used as a kid and got me interested in creating on the internet. It felt revolutionary to me.

I remember that they made an special version just for me. An update had removed a feature i used a lot. A while later I helped them track down an error they couldn't find the cause of. They asked how they could thank me and i replied "bring back feature x" For a little while they put up a link to a "Tony-edition" on the official download site until they got the feature back in the regular release. I still have it somewhere. Hotdog was my first html editor. Brilliant is was. Happy memories

I was anticipating clicking on it hoping for the source code - because at the time I was writing an HTML editor myself (as a young teen) and was blown away by some of what HotDog could do. Would love to peer into some of those older projects.

I had hoped this as well. I spent so much time in that program building web sites long ago. We have a plethora of excellent dev oriented editors today, but a purpose built one can be so much better by simplifying workflow.
