It looks like RapidWeaver still exists, though last I used it, it wasn’t a typical WYSIWYG editor like classic Dreamweaver. I found it has a higher learning curve than I’d like. https://www.realmacsoftware.com/rapidweaver/ Most WYSIWYG editors have become text editors. Panic’s Coda has become Nova (a text editor). Even what I last saw of Dreamweaver, it was very code-forward. I think the less technical users just use platforms. More technical users have historically turned up their noses as WYSIWYG editors, so it left a gap in the market. Looking at AlternativeTo, there are some options out there. https://alternativeto.net/software/adobe-dreamweaver/?feature=wysiwyg-…

This is for people who bought Clear+ and should switch to Clear, as outlined in their letter[0]. It's an interesting issue, what's the best solution for the current predicament. At what point do you ask users for more money, vs continuing to give your other users free updates? I feel like App Stores in particular have made us (users) feel too entitled. 0 - http://realmacsoftware.com/clear/letter [Edited, grammar]

I agree with all your points. It's why I've used Evernote less and less over time. As for point 6, if you are on Mac/iOS, Clear App is a great way to handle the list issue when you are actually in the store. http://realmacsoftware.com/clear

While we're suggesting todo apps - I've been using Clear [1] (Mac + iPhone only) for the past month and love it. The UI is beautiful yet very simple as everything is done with touch gestures. [1] http://www.realmacsoftware.com/clear/

http://www.realmacsoftware.com/clear/ I'm using this on wp and it's great.

Macs used to come with iWeb. https://www.apple.com/welcomescreen/ilife/iweb-3/ These days you can buy paid software to do this: - $110 https://blocsapp.com - $90 https://realmacsoftware.com/rapidweaver-classic/ - $80 https://sitely.app - $30 https://bootstrapstudio.io - $0 https://www.silex.me - $0 https://wordpress.org/plugins/simply-static/ - $0 until recently, https://web.archive.org/web/20240410200646/https://grapesjs.com/ RapidWeaver Classic calls itself a subscription and sets up autopay, but you can immediately cancel and keep that version forever, like Jetbrains.

For those on macOS, RapidWeaver still exists: https://www.realmacsoftware.com/rapidweaver/. (Shame that it's now subscriptionware, though – could've sworn it used to be an outright purchase per major version.)

There is Rapid Weaver for the Mac! https://www.realmacsoftware.com/rapidweaver/ Im also a huge fan of Cloud Cannon. Which puts a CMS of sorts on top of static site generators.

RapidWeaver [1] is a WYSIWYG SSG for Mac. I used it a few years ago and it was pretty good back then. [1] https://www.realmacsoftware.com/rapidweaver/

How does it compare to Squash -- other than being browser based? https://www.realmacsoftware.com/squash/

Another easy way to play with this is the DeepDreamer mac app (http://realmacsoftware.com/deepdreamer/), although it has some size limitations unless you purchase it ($15).

I don't have in app purchases, but Real Mac Software says yes: http://realmacsoftware.com/blog/itunes-affiliate-program

> SSGs are hugely popular among nerds and practically unknown among everybody else. Depends on your definition of SSG. I'd consider an app such as RapidWeaver[1] to be a SSG. They aren't targeting "HN nerds." [1] http://realmacsoftware.com/rapidweaver

It's because of the reason Clear went free, the developers wrote an open letter to users about it: http://realmacsoftware.com/clear/letter

> example, Apple has been promoting video apps like crazy In the early days (2008/2009), a couple people I know got apps featured in the App Store. Basically, they got a call out of the blue from Apple. Now, it seems that it is back to good old fashioned relationships and community [1] and marketing. Media coverage, for one, being the most important. Media coverage goes a whole long way longer if the editor actually knows who you are (e.g. you met them in person and had a real conversation) and likes what you are doing. http://realmacsoftware.com/blog/how-to-get-featured-on-the-app-store And they still probably get a call out of the blue from Apple. But not by dumb luck, by doing the work required and getting better and better (at marketing, community building and nurturing, the app, all of the above) [1] http://www.kk.org/thetechnium/archives/2008/03/1000_true_fans.php

The built in screenshot shortcuts work just fine. If you're looking for something a little more robust with annotation tools, checkout Little Snapper: http://www.realmacsoftware.com/littlesnapper/

This only makes sense to me in a progressive loading situation. That is, you load the summaries first, then load additional detail later in the rendering timeline. Fine; I'd get that. But I don't like the idea of not getting the full story every time. Why not think a couple years out and assume everyone's connection is fast enough to handle text - LOTS of text - even over a mobile connection. It's text. Like one-or-two-bytes-per-character stuff. I suppose it's also interesting as a navigational scheme. To show summaries automatically and expand on some user action, a la clear (http://www.realmacsoftware.com/clear/).

I have the same issue myself. I feel that I generally have good taste but I am so inexperienced with design, that I would never come up with good looking design from scratch. That being said, I found out about this useful Mac program called Little Snapper. It helps you build a scrapbook of screen captures. I use it to capture webpages and design elements that I like the look of. I'm not saying to steal other people's design, but I find it to be a very inspirational source to browse through once you've built up a bit of a database. Here's the link if anyone is interested. http://www.realmacsoftware.com/littlesnapper/

I agree that Transmit and 1Password are exemplary Mac OS X user interfaces. The other apps mentioned: not so much. To me, they look like iOS ports. Lots of chrome, wasted screen real estate.

IMHO, the biggest use case for 3D right now is to add affordances to current flat interfaces. Many interfaces already incorporate 3D affordances, usually demonstrating depth to help the user understand what is happening, but these affordances are almost always faked, the same way that 3D is often faked by photoshop wizards. At famo.us, we hope to make it much easier for interface designers use real 3D effects to add affordances to their interface and explore how else 3D can be used. Previously, if you wanted to design a 3D interface you had to completely invest in 3D, which is expensive time-wise to do for the sake of experimentation. What we'd like to do at famo.us is bridge 2D and 3D in a way that you can build your interfaces using familiar 2D paradigms, but also give you the tooling to explore 3D using real content you already have in 2D. As more designers explore 3D and more customers become familiar with 3D little by little, I think we'll see more and more examples of its utility. Here's a video where 3D is used with a constrained z-depth and orthogonal camera position (i.e. elevation view). http://famo.us/ (the video on the left) Also take a look at Clear App to see small examples of how 3D has been used to add affordances to a mostly 2D interface. http://www.realmacsoftware.com/clear/
