CSSEdit 2.0



I'm not a designer, heck I'm hardly a writer, but I do know good software when I see it (and a cute company logo). CSSEdit is a good piece of software, and it has only gotten better with version 2, released today. But what is it, you ask? CSSEdit is the premier CSS editor (that's Cascading Style Sheets to you) for OS X. Version 2 is faster, can save CSS from a remote website better, and auto saves your work. The big ticket feature is previewing CSS for dynamic applications (think blogs).

A demo is available while a full license will cost $29.95.

It looks nice, but I really find the developer extension in firefox to be better and cross platform and realtime and live edit ANY site, your page, with serverside code running from server, etc etc.. oh and free.

You know that's an oxymoron, right:)? This isn't print design, you're in a code world - you want the design elements without the technical requirements, then I'd say you're not a pro. Even painters need to know how to mix and what brushes to use.

14> CSSEdit promises to apply CSS the way different browsers show it, Safari, Firefox, various IEs. If this works as promised, could be very hot for web developers. Something that firefox doesn't handle.

I agree, this is a sweet little app. But nothing can take away the power of Smultron!

Why not just use Firefox with "Web Developer" installed? You can preview and edit your CSS right in the browser, and it's free. Make changes on the fly, and see them take effect.

I don't think I am ready for that kind of a change - I am getting to where I do everything in BBEdit (even some technical reports). I need to learn emacs or vi, pico is killing me. I should know what I'm doing - if I don't I need to learn. (painful as it may be)

Style Master is a bit too clunky. Play around with CSS edit and you'll find it a whole lot more organic. I have been waiting for this for a long time!

Chris , what you mean this ?

The server side thing is very nice did not see that. But I do that with a local copy already which is easy enough.

It's amazing because you can edit your stylesheet and see the changes immediatley on your server-side, scripted app like a weblog with PHP. Instead of having to make your edit, upload the CSS, reload the page, view it, repeat. You can now do it right in the CSSEdit app and see everything you're doing. Of course you need to know CSS but this utility makes it much easier and faster.

Don't toil in TextEdit just to prove a point, if there are tools that can make your life more effiecient you should use them.
