Panic Demos 'Coda Notes' Extension for Safari 5

Panic and Steve Jobs have a history.

Panic was >this close< to being the developers of one of the world's most used app (iTunes) and missed out. Steve likes them and I wouldn't be surprised to see them making it big with Apple at some point.

I would have to agree with Steve on that--I am a big fan of both Coda and Unison, from my view, they do very nice work.
 
very nice

Bummed I won't have too much time to learn any of Panic's software any time soon (I've got CSSEdit). What a great extension. I'm glad Panic is around and I hope they continue to work with Apple.

On a non-Panic note, would love to see Site Grinder work with Pixelmator.

I'm not a heavy coder (I used that program for ages before i realized that's what "Coda" meant), so I love it for the one-stop shopping of the terminal, SVN, CSS/HTML editor, file transfer — although I still keep Transmit and TacoHTMLEdit around, and I even have a copy of Versions for when I need to figure out something I've messed up with SVN. But I use Coda far more than anything else when I'm working on my websites.

I think it's best for people like me who aren't really web developers but still have to muck around with this stuff now and then. But maybe a real developer disagrees?

I've read that before. It really is a great read. On the other hand, if Audion had become iTunes instead of SoundJam, Steven and Cable would possibly still be Apple employees, and we might not have Transmit, Unison and Coda today.

I'd like to agree with them and their decision (luck).

I love Coda but I do mostly basic html coding and do most by hand anyway so this is perfect for me--but certainly not fancy compared to others I suppose.
 
Safari 5 won't open

I tried to download this twice today and each time it won't start. Each time it says "Safari quit unexpectedly". Running Snow Leopard on Macbook Pro(Core Duo 2 Ghz). Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Many "real developers" use Coda. Coda being only for light coders is not true.

It's just that many developers are so used to the workflow/features of BBEdit/TextMate/CSSEdit/Transmit/Whatever else that it's hard for them to switch.

Once you get used to Coda's workflow, you will probably find the typical BBEdit workflow counter-intuitive. It's mostly the matter of getting used to, really.
 
We have developed a similar product (useKit) where you can add stickies/notes to every page as one of the features. There is also an extension now if someone would like to try it out: http://usekit.com/default/index/safari-extension

@Dry Rot: The tool works on most browsers. There is no IE Extension yet, but with the bookmarklet you can load it into every page.
