Nova
If we are being honest, Mac apps have become a lost art. Although cross-platform apps are great, it's not who we are. Panic was founded in 1997 as a Mac software business. Our joy comes from creating things that feel Mac-like. Coda, an all-in one Mac web editor, was created long ago. When we began work on Nova, however, we looked at the web today and decided where we needed to go. It was time to make a fresh start. Our first-class text editor is the key to all this. It's fast, flexible, new, and super-fast. Nova supports CoffeeScript, CSS and Diff, ERB, Haml HTML, INI JavaScript, JSON. JSX, Less Lua, Markdown, Perl PHP, Ruby, Sass SCSS, Smarty SQL, TSX TypeScript, XML and YAML.
