MarsEdit and BBEdit still support the ODB Editor Suite. Years later, for MarsEdit 1.0 (or some early version), I implemented the server side of the ODB Editor suite, so you could open something in MarsEdit in BBEdit, and have it save back to MarsEdit. (The BBEdit site has documentation.) BBEdit supported it, and other text editors added support too over the years. So Dave - working with Rich? Doug Baron? Jim Correia? I honestly don’t know who all worked on the details, though it wasn’t me - came up with the ODB Editor suite, which any text editor could support. In other words, we wanted BBEdit to be an external editor for Frontier’s object database.
#MARSEDIT 4 BBEDIT UPDATE#
So we wanted to make it so you could be looking at text in Frontier, and then choose a menu command to open it in BBEdit for editing - and then have it automatically update in Frontier’s object database when you close it in BBEdit. /rebates/&252fmarsedit-4-3-download-free. MarsEdit is one of only a few third-party apps (along with BBEdit, LaunchBar, and OmniOutliner) that I’ve used nearly daily for the last 13 years or so. The problem was that some people wanted to use BBEdit instead of Frontier’s built-in text editor, because, well BBEdit was (and still is) awesome. Because MarsEdit 4 embraces the Mac App Store’s in-app purchase model, the app can use a downloaded copy of MarsEdit 3 to validate a discounted or free upgrade to MarEdit 4, as appropriate. The pages were stored in Frontier’s object database, which had its own text editor.
But I was nearby when this happened.ĭave had written a website rendering framework for UserLand Frontier that generated static sites. I was working at UserLand, or maybe still doing contracting, or maybe I was still just an enthusiastic member of the community. Here’s what I remember about how it happened… ( Dave Winer or Rich Siegel may remember more, or better, and may correct me, and maybe not.) The ODB Editor suite - which came up on the latest The Talk Show podcast - happens to be something I know about.
