Website development à la Mac

RapidWeaverJust found a web site creation app that’s exclusively made for mac and promises to be simple while extensible: RapidWeaver. The new version 4.0 has just been shipped, so I’ll definiteley give it a try.

Coming from Dreamweaver and being more the hands-on coding guy who did not yet find the right editor, I’m waiting for something that closes the gap between pure WYSIWYG and the textpad approach.

RapidWeaver is quite promising since they seam to have chosen the proper ingredients: clear separation of content and style (XHTML and CSS clearly separated), templating (they call it “Themes”), an easy way to publish only updated content, extensibility by plugins, code snippets,… just to name a few.

And: It just looks beautiful on a mac. For many software engineers, this is not a major focus, but a nice and handy UI makes you so much more creative and productive. I’ll keep you updated about my experiences.

Meanwhile: Give it a try yourself!
