Espresso by MacRabbit

Posted by Drew on December 18, '08

MacRabbit is expanding upon their CSSEdit app and creating a full-on HTML editor called Espresso.

TextMate and Coda

Right now, for my workflow, I use both TextMate and Coda. I design my sites in Photoshop, slice them up, code them in TextMate, test them locally, and then import them onto a server using Transmit (another great Panic app). Once that's done, I perform all maintenance and upgrades live on the site using Coda.

Things could be better

I'm all for integration. Coda integrates Transmit, Terminal, etc.. but there is still much to be desired from it as a text editor - well, for me at least. I love TextMate's way of doing things, but Coda's full integration is great. However, I would like for the two to blend.

I have high hopes for Espresso. I hope it can compete with TextMate or Coda. Moreover, I hope it can replace the two. As much as I love the two apps, I want my workflow to be a little better and more efficient.

Stay up to date

If you're interested, MacRabbit has a great blog where they update advances with Espresso, as well as other information that might be of interest. You can also sign up for the Espresso mailing list. Keep an eye on it!
