What’s cooking…
First of all, there’s Amy Editor. Its development halted 8 months ago, versions for download are even older and slower (kill me, I deserve it, no excuse of not putting it out for grab).
So what’s next? Well, guess what, I bought a domain for it - http://www.amyeditor.com! Awesome, I can hear you, but what’s really next? The answear is - it depends on you. I’ve opened a forum on UserVoice and welcome any suggestions, controversy or just random shouts. I have some preliminary ideas what to do with various parts of the editor, it’s quite possible to separate it into smaller chunks and create couple of services out of it. I don’t think the editor as it is now has much of a chance. Sure it looks nice in Safari on my Mac (and it’s fast as .. you name it), but looking at it on IE/Windows just doesn’t feel that appealing.
The main reason for canceling all work on the editor was a job (paid - whoa!:) of co-creating brand new amazing service, which I’ll share with you really soon. It’ll blow your mind :).
As for *.isonrails.com - there are no news, it’s abandoware at the moment :(. It’s a real shame for all those poor Heroku users fighting with wonderful service and plainly TERRIBLE user interface - imagine isonrails.com interface planted on Heroku. That would be awesome.
Fry - the underlying, ancient old JavaScript library that Amy Editor uses - no change in that department either :). But have you noticed the JavaScript Terminal demo? Pretty neat, huh? ;)
Saludos,
and merry X-mas and happy new year (and all that crap:),
Petr
P.S. - don’t forget the Amy Editor UserVoice! :)
