Skimmed the site and saw: "FOR THE WEB, BY THE WEB" "Brackets is built using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. If you can code in Brackets, you can code on Brackets."

Skimmed the site and saw:
"FOR THE WEB, BY THE WEB"
"Brackets is built using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. If you can code in Brackets, you can code on Brackets."
"WORKS WITH YOUR BROWSER"
Spent 5 seconds skimming the page up and down for a "Try It" or "Get Started" link, but only found "Check It Out". After 3 seconds of reading, I re-interpreted "Check-Out" as in the source code sense. Re-scanned the page, no other obvious demo headings, so I closed the tab.
Despite the page's high level of visual polish, it completely failed at explaining to me what the app was and how I should go about getting it.
- dorian-graph 14y agoFor me, this is how it happened—I looked at the screenshot and liked how it looked then read the About Brackets blurb to get a good idea. Finally, I found a Mac binary easy enough from the Check It Out part. Obviously, both these experiences are quite different and both would lead someone to make a certain conclusion about the website. Which is 'correct' then? Personally, I just hope some of the neat features (Inline CSS editing) appears in Sublime Text 2.
- ryanstewart 14y agoGood feedback. We just fixed the page to say "Try it" instead of "Check it Out". =Ryan ryan@adobe.com
