No mention of supported platforms, but the documentation refers to keyboard shortcuts like "cmd-shift-P". This isn't Mac-only, is it?

- fournm 13y agoI'm certainly getting that feeling.
- Touche 13y agoNo, just normal developer monoculturalism. Same as showing only Mac screenshots that is common, or showing your website inside a Macbook, etc.
- bsimpson 13y agoTo be fair, would most people know what super-shift-P means? That said, it would be fairly simple to have a variable for super that resolves to ctrl/cmd on other platforms, the same way that most download pages nowadays infer your platform and show you the binary you most likely want.
- woah 13y agoI've always wanted to show mockups in alternate non mac devices, but they tend to be ugly.
- gulbrandr 13y agoAre they? Really? Apple made you think that they are ugly, while not.
- protomyth 13y agoThe most common cause of people showing websites inside a Macbook is that the graphic designer is using a Mac and Apple provides some pretty nice high resolution tiffs of all its products.

- ecnahc515 13y agoIt's built on node-webkit and chromium, which technically works on Windows, OSX and Linux. Do you seriously think they would make an OSX only editor when there's already so many that work on all platforms?
- Tloewald 13y agoNo, it's a desktop app, presumably embedded inside node-webkit or something similar.
- gabemart 13y agoIf it is inside node-webkit, I'll be curious to see how they got native windows menus support. There are some pretty serious bugs in NW's handling of windows native menus.
- Tloewald 13y agoRight, and if they've been working on it for x years then they presumably started earlier, perhaps a custom fork of chrome.
- numo16 13y agoDirectly from the "Taking the web native" section on the page: >Atom is a desktop application based on web technologies.
- thedaniel 13y agoThe download is only available for Mac today, but we are working on the Linux and Windows builds.
- bovermyer 13y agoEAGERLY awaiting that Windows build. And if I can't get a Windows build, I'm going to go out and buy a Macbook Pro just to use this IDE.
- jallardice 13y agoI just got an email inviting me to download the beta. The only download link in there is a button labelled "Download For Mac".
- ateevchopra 13y agoCan you share the file ?
- victorhooi 13y agoArgh, I want an invite! =) Any tricks for getting one?
- rmc 13y agoOf course it's crossplatform. It works on OSX Mavericks and Snow Leapard!
- 1qaz2wsx3edc 13y agoCurrently only OSX support, win32 is being worked on, I imagine cross platform will be achieved shortly.
- aeroevan 13y agoOS X and win32 does not equal cross platform.
- jbrooksuk 13y agoI've seen reference to win32 in the settings.
- basicallydan 13y agoIt shouldn't take long given that it's developed in JavaScript.
- rmc 13y agoJust like how a Java application works on all platforms!
- basicallydan 13y agoHahah, fair point! It's different and you know it ;)
- shawnc 13y agoAnd 5 years ago, everything was Windows centric. Things change.
- gulbrandr 13y agoOn the homepage, it says > Like other desktop apps, it has its own icon in the dock it looks like it's osx oriented.
