Plain text wiki bundle for TextMate

by Mat Lu (May 23rd, 2007)

Matt Webb likes VoodooPad, the desktop wiki application from Gus Mueller, but he does not like his data to be bound up in a proprietary format. So he's cooked up a bundle for the powerful TextMate text editor that allows him to create a plain text wiki. Basically the bundle allows you to create a ...

FlickrMate bundle for TextMate

by David Chartier (May 15th, 2007)

Brett Terpstra at the Circle Six Design blog just can't seem to stop making cool stuff, especially when it comes to bundles for TextMate. You might know his work from other plug-ins and bundles such as his WordPress theming bundle we mentioned, as well as his most excellent AutoTag bundle for ...

Finishing up my interview series with notable Mac OS X developers is Allan Odgaard of Macromates, makers of the most excellent TextMate text and code manipulation app. Allan now joins Brent Simmons, Wil Shipley, Paul Kafasis and Gus Mueller in sharing some thoughts with us on the delay of Mac OS X ...

Customizing TextMate

by Mat Lu (Apr 21st, 2007)

A while back we posted on the recently released book, TextMate: Power Editing for the Mac. Now the author of that tome, James Edward Gray II, offers a preview of the kind of stuff you'll find in his book in an article over at MacDevCenter. Gray shows you how to customize TextMate by creating a ...

BlogMate - blogging with TextMate on steroids

by David Chartier (Apr 17th, 2007)

TextMate has a basic, built-in blogging bundle that provides some decent features. You can use a variety of syntaxes (HTML, Markdown, etc.) to pen your next digg-worthy post, and the bundle also has rudimentary support for retrieving posts from your blog to edit. It's not bad, but it isn't stellar ...

Twitter from TextMate

by Scott McNulty (Mar 20th, 2007)

I'm a big fan of Twitter, and not just because I am on the top 100 Twitter user list (though that doesn't hurt). It is just plain old fun. I also enjoy the heck out of TextMate, which is also fun to use, though in a different way. Twitter and TextMate are two great tastes that, one would imagine, ...

TextMate AutoTag bundle for WordPress

by David Chartier (Mar 6th, 2007)

In the market of Mac users who have text to edit, TextMate has become one of the household names that we turn to the most. Likewise for the blogging world, few - if any - services come to mind before WordPress. Brett Terpstra of Circle Six Design knows this, and that is why his AutoTag Bundle for ...

TextMate: Power Editing for the Mac

by Scott McNulty (Feb 28th, 2007)

Some people balk at the idea of paying for a text editor. 'Doesn't OS X ship with a pretty good text editor called TextEdit,' they say. That is very true, but if you make your living creating text documents (whether they be code, blog posts, or content of some other kind) TextEdit just won't cut it. ...

TextMate 2's upcoming features

by David Chartier (Jan 11th, 2007)

I spoke with the folks at the TextMate booth for a bit about the upcoming version. Yea, it's going to be Leopard-only, and we've been discussing why more and more devs are sticking with Leopard for their apps, but there's some pretty cool stuff on the way for TextMate. Beefing up support for version ...

Some TextMate tips and tricks

by Scott McNulty (Jan 5th, 2007)

I've previously mentioned my text editor of choice is TextMate. I'm the first to admit that I am not a power user of TextMate, since I'm a word slinger not a code monkey. Lots of TextMate's features don't really come into play for me, but even if one discards the many features that help developers ...

List of Leopard-only apps is growing

by David Chartier (Jan 2nd, 2007)

Cocoa Blogs has linked a blog post from Gus Mueller, developer of such apps as VoodooPad, that an upcoming FlySketch 2.0 update will be Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard-only. This adds to a growing list of upcoming app releases such as TextMate 2 and Delicious Library 2 which will only play with Apple's next ...

On TextMate extras

by David Chartier (Dec 31st, 2006)

Like me, there are probably a lot of fresh new TextMate users out there in the audience thanks at least in part to MacHeist, so I thought it would be pertinent to point out a few helpful resources Allan Odgaard (TM's developer) maintains at macromates.com. Of course the searchable mailing list and ...

TeXMLMate

by Scott McNulty (Dec 28th, 2006)

I am a fan of TextMate for many reasons. The biggest reason is the active developer community that surrounds it. Not only does Macromates continue to dream up new features, others are extending the program in a number of very cool ways. TeXMLMate is a very cool XML palette that enables you to do a ...

Developers unleash exclusive offers for MacHeist participants

by David Chartier (Dec 21st, 2006)

One of the appeals of MacHeist that a few participating developers cited for their participation is residual sales. Things like upgrade licenses, extra plugins and add-ons can all be big boosts to a 3rd party developer's revenue, and some of MacHeist's participating devs have certainly hit the ...

Five blogging apps I'm thankful for

by Scott McNulty (Nov 23rd, 2006)

We are a thankful bunch around TUAW today, in honor of Thanksgiving here in the states. Since I spend most of my waking hours blogging I thought I would give some praise to the five applications that make blogging a breeze on the Mac. This is not meant to be a 'Top Five blogging tools post,' if ...
