nice find



Excellent, this is what I was looking for, thank you.



The 3D view mess-ups are fun to look at but are the most understandable and least unique to Apple. It's not hard to find messed up 3D in Google as well.


the last time i tried jedit (admittedly, years ago) i found the font rendering on mac os x to be ugly. since it's on your checklist, i assume it's improved since then?


I haven't used it on a mac, but on Linux and Windows it looks pretty sweet.

Here's what it looks like on mine right now (looks same on windows and linux):

That's some python code with Consolas, Anti-aliasing set to 'Standard', and fractional font metrics turned on: http://i.imgur.com/j3Gsw.png

And fractional font metrics turned off: http://i.imgur.com/e2jhE.png

(I don't know if imgur does/performed any compression on it or not.)

There are also multiple settings for font smoothing, so you can tweak it to your liking. (Subpixel settings)

Combine this with great themes (even the light themes look unreal), I can't see why this isn't more popular!


Also note that the demo video is from the Simulator, not an actual device.


Which is probably worse - the Simulator consistently outperforms any real device.


The blog post confused me until I realized that the author meant "Don't Make Your Apps Offline-Stupid," rather than "Don't Make Your Apps Offline, Stupid."


I'm reminded of the Newton clipboard. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhivPLXrLjk


The permalink for the article is http://www.leancrew.com/all-this/2012/04/where-modules-go-to... (the posted link is actually the home page of the blog).


Now I'm curious. Do you have a screenshot? (I don't have Drive yet)

EDIT: never mind, I can see them in the graphic on the announcement blog post. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OmO4AEPzKVE/T5bIDxKcD6I/AAAAAAAAJH...
