Well, apparently Espresso has none of CSSEdit’s features… I don’t know what that developer is thinking…

I’m hearing that Panic’s Coda is really good, but I don’t really want to drop $100 on it just to use the CSS tools. Also, I know that if I buy Coda, I’m going to want to make a Tumblr plugin for it… and I have a feeling that it wouldn’t be as simple as making the bundle for TextMate…

There is an app called Stylizer that seems to be similar to CSSEdit, but for Windows. They’re going to release a Mac version sometime soon, so that might be the solution… I just wish MacRabbit would update CSSEdit and provide official support for CSS3 (Yes, I know about the hack).

I hate it when a developer abandons a good app… especially when that app wasn’t free. I’ve used CSSEdit for a while. It’s not something I need everyday, but when you’re making a site, it makes applying styles so much easier… The problem is, it hasn’t been updated since 2007. The developer has focused on Espresso instead, which is apparently a good app, but I’ve got TextMate (which hasn’t really been updated in a while, but at least I know there are still people making stuff for it and the developer is working on version 2.0). Perhaps, I should just buy Espresso because it has most of the feature of CSSEdit in it.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion for a stylesheet editor like CSSEdit?

I understand your position, but this shirt is pretty good.

Markdown is awesome.

Fri, 19 Mar 2010 02:08:28 -0400

So, I’ve been using the rich-text editor here on Tumblr for…years (that seems odd to say, but technically it’s true). I just changed it to the markdown editor after discovering how much sense markdown makes. I had to make a README for github, and since github recognizes markdown, I figured that would be the best way to do it. Now I can insert links like I know what I’m doing!.

Tumblr Themes TextMate Bundle 1.1

Fri, 19 Mar 2010 01:20:24 -0400

Tumblr Themes TextMate Bundle 1.1:

I made an update that adds snippets for booleans, custom text, custom fonts, ect. I also fixed a couple mistakes.

You can download it from GitHub or you can use the GetBundles Plug-in for TextMate to update the bundle.

Articles - The Wikipedia App:

I just bought this app and I love it. It’s missing some features that Wikipanion has, but the overall interface is much nicer (not that Wikipanion is bad). If it gets support for Ogg files and Wiktionary, it will be perfect.

Gabe Newell, that sneaky...:

The founder and CEO of Valve, Gabe Newell, was at GDC today accepting the Pioneer Award for all of the awesome stuff he and his company has done (see: Portal, Half-Life, Team Fortress, L4D).

He talked about the importance of interacting with your customers and was just about to talk about the new games when…BSOD.

It was, of course, staged, but also a hint that something cool lies ahead. The message said “Suspend until E3,” when Valve will probably be showing off Portal 2 and… something else?

tumblr-themes.tmbundle on GitHub:

So, I finally figured out how to use git and GitHub (I’ll be honest, I had to use a Git GUI). Please feel free to fork it and make it better!

I feel like all my posts are about this bundle now… must go find a cute cat video…

didn’t you could do that, and it seems to work just fine for me.

Tumblrs apps

Tumblrs apps:

This is a page you might not have noticed. It has a bunch of great web, mobile, and desktop apps that you can use with Tumblr. My TextMate bundle is a recent addition!

(btw, if you’re using the bundle and want to know if I update it, which I probably will, you’ll have to use the Google code site until I wrap my head around github)

Have you thought of making some themes for the dashboard, or even just to have a simple option for changing colours! Just an idea :)

I do not work for Tumblr. See Marco, I hear he’s in charge of themes.

PERSISTING THE MAC PLUTOCRACY, EH? I mean, something that only 20% of us (at most) can use… that’s a bit weak, isn’t it?

Why couldn’t this have been done on a multi-platform tool? It’s worth the extra effort to get that 80-90% extra audience.

I am going to keep saying this until Apple and its community developers stop pulling the same proprietary platform crap that a lot of Windows developers are also in-the-wrong for doing. (and until I have something better than Notepad2)

Mr. brianvan here apparently thinks that my little TextMate plug-in is full development suite that I was contracted to develop. Well, it’s not, but the good news is Windows users can use it as well!

The Windows equivalent of TextMate is a program called E Text Editor and it supports TextMate Bundles! There is even a Linux text editor called Redcar that supports TexMate bundles.

I’m working on a TextMate bundle for creating Tumblr Themes. It shouldn’t take me too long. When it’s done I’ll probably put it on github for all to enjoy.

Sweet. I use Coda so I don’t really know what TextMate bundles are. I assume it will just insert the correct template code for you. You click on 128x128 Portrait URL and it inserts {PortraitURL-128}

What I’d LOVE is to be able to see an example of what that is without copying and pasting the code into Tumblr. So as you’re designing the preview in Coda looks like it would live. Not like this:

Don’t know if that’s possible, but man, it would be awesome!

That would be pretty awesome, but unfortunately that would require recreating the entire theme engine… so, it would be something that Tumblr, Inc. would do if they wanted to, but I don’t expect it’s high on their list (see: David Karp is a non-profit).

I expect that a revision of the Customize page for creating themes is on someone’s list.

I’ve finished version 1.0 of it (I might try to add some stuff besides snippets in the future). You can get it on Google Code, or you can just use this direct download link.
