Description

Bluefish is a robust text editor designed specifically for programmers and web developers, offering a wide array of tools for creating websites, scripts, and various coding languages. It accommodates numerous programming and markup languages, making it versatile for different coding needs. For a detailed look at its features, users can explore the overview, browse through screenshots, or download the editor directly. As an open-source project, Bluefish is distributed under the GNU GPL license, promoting free use and distribution. This multi-platform application is compatible with a variety of desktop operating systems such as Linux, FreeBSD, MacOS-X, Windows, OpenBSD, and Solaris. The latest version, Bluefish 2.2.12, is a minor maintenance update that introduces some new features, including a crucial fix for a crash that occurred during simple searches. Enhancements have also been made in Python 3 compatibility, and the detection of encoding in Python files has seen improvements. Additionally, the triple-click function now allows users to select entire lines easily, and on Mac OSX, Bluefish has been optimized to better handle new permission features. Furthermore, issues with displaying the correct language in the Bluefish user interface for certain languages on OSX have been resolved. With these updates, users can expect a smoother and more efficient coding experience.

Description

To be candid, Mac applications seem to be fading into obscurity. While there are valid motivations for developing cross-platform applications — primarily their versatility — it doesn't align with our core identity. Established as a Mac software developer in 1997, the team at Panic finds joy in creating products that embody the essence of Mac. Many years ago, we introduced Coda, a groundbreaking all-in-one web editor specifically for Mac users. However, as we began developing Nova, we reassessed the current landscape of the web and recognized the need for a new beginning. Hence, our journey commenced with a top-tier text editor that is not only brand new but also incredibly fast and adaptable, packed with all the essential features like intelligent autocomplete, multiple cursors, a Minimap, editor overscroll, and tag pairs and brackets, among many others. For those interested, Nova offers integrated support for a variety of languages including CoffeeScript, CSS, Diff, ERB, Haml, HTML, INI, JavaScript, JSON, JSX, Less, Lua, Markdown, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, Sass, SCSS, Smarty, SQL, TSX, TypeScript, XML, and YAML. This extensive support ensures that developers have the tools they need to work efficiently and effectively across multiple programming languages.
