- glazskunrukitis 13y agoWasn't it already open source?
- thousande 13y agoIit is. The article is from Aug 2012
- stefanve 13y agohttps://github.com/textmate/textmate https://github.com/textmate/textmate It's is an older post, but new for me and new for the HN system :)
- api 13y agoThis is very old news, and I don't see which OSX restrictions in particular are involved.
- rsynnott 13y agoThis is a strange article; it's not like any version of TextMate was ever distributed through the app store, so I'm not sure the relevance of app store restrictions.
- matthewmacleod 13y agoThis is an old article, and it's rubbish anyway. The sandboxing restrictions on App Store downloads are obviously not about "restriction of freedoms" so much as security.
- stefanve 13y agoYeah I just noticed that, sorry, also I thought that it being open sourced was more interesting than the reason why.
- sleepyhead 13y agoPlease add (2012) to the link.
- stefanve 13y agoI'm sorry didn't noticed it is over a year old I thought a couple of months. I'm unable to change the title as I'm not aloud to do that anymore. I was triggered by the lime editor post to see how the 2.0 version was coming along so I searched and stumbled upon this.
- abalone 13y agoThe article is over a year old. OS X sandboxing has exactly nothing to with the open vs. closed debate. Sounded more like an attempt to shift attention away from the fact that TextMate 2.0 was at least 3+ years late at the time it was abando..i mean open sourced.
- bitboxer 13y agoIt is not abandoned. Just look at the github repo. I get updates for my TextMate 2.0 at least weekly.
- hajderr 13y agoThe battle of the editors! Which one should I choose now that Lime ( https://github.com/quarnster/lime https://github.com/quarnster/lime ) is out there too? :).
