BBEdit 15.5.5: The Venerable Mac Text Editor Quietly Sharpens Its Edge With Targeted Bug Fixes BBEdit 15.5.5, the latest maintenance release of Bare Bones Software's venerable Mac text editor, ...

Or like a #BBEdit for iPadOS/iOS.
Color layout from the Developer section in the App Store. The text begins: BBEdit may be one of the most beloved developer tools on any platform, but its creator, Rich Siegel, had relatively modest ambitions. He started writing the first version of the software back in 1989 because he needed an editor that could handle "large" files-something north of 32 KB. "One of the limitations of Macintosh Pascal was that source files couldn't be more than 32 kilobytes," he explains. Over a quarter century has passed since BBEdit's commercial debut, and the app has become a favorite among developers, scientists, web designers, and writers alike for its sheer power and speed. (Siegel regularly tests 12 GB files these days.) Siegel remains BBEdit's principal architect and lead engineer, and the caffeine molecule tattooed on his arm says a lot about his work ethic. We spoke with him from his Bare Bones Software headquarters north of Boston
Congratulations to @siegel.bsky.social , creator of legendary web and text editor BBEdit, on his profile interview in the App Store. #WebDevelopment #software #BBedit
If there was one app on a Mac that I truly miss it's #BBEdit. That and #OmniOutliner.

RE: mastodonapp.uk/users/mtconleyuk/statuse...
I somehow managed to make the #BBEdit editor hang...that's a sign of an impending apocalypse right?
I am once again writing my own BBEdit Language Module. #BBEdit
I just noticed: Link to the song Editors at War in the #BBEdit About box is broken. You can still resolve it with the Wayback Machine of #ArchiveOrg.
But it is probably better to go to ibcwiki.spaceroom.org/the/songs, where the song is erroneously referred to as Editors at Work.

“Do not taunt happy fun #BBEdit.” (Ok, it doesn’t say that. I imagine you may taunt freely.)
“#BBEdit is not a replacement for Preview or any other PDF tool.”
And another day saved by #BBEdit
IMHO @zed.dev is overhyped... I tried it for #Java and it was just mehhity-meh... maybe it's blazing fast but what's the point if it can't do anything sensible? For quick, bare-bone edit #BBEdit is fast enough that I don't notice it and it has more features…
An invalid YAML document in BBEdit
#BBEdit's Language Server Protocol support (https://www.barebones.com/support/bbedit/lsp-notes.html is a godsend, but sometimes it does shoot its mouth off a bit. 🤡

Finally have #VSCode adjusted to act enough like #BBEdit to make me feel really pretty comfortable using it. I think I might stick with it this time. #Perl
@bbedit Do you need to preview #GitHub Flavored #Markdown only sometimes in #BBEdit? Install cmark-gfm from @homebrew and put the following executable shell script in its Preview Filters folder:
```
#!/bin/sh

cat - | eval "$(

Yeah, I do NOT believe you, #BBEdit...

In addition to #shell worksheets, TIL that the May release of #BBEdit 15.1 turned the #ChatGPT worksheet feature from version 15 into generic #AI chat worksheets that also support #Claude, #Ollama, and anything else that’s compatible enough with #OpenAI’s API […]
Why Emacs and Not BBEdit and TaskPaper

#emacs #bbedit #taskpaper
#VSCode if you are looking for Electron apps. #BBEdit if you are looking for something native on macOS.
One of the challenges is the different ways in which searches and replacements are called in the individual IDEs. I still like #BBEdit best here, for example, as it also immediately calls up the replace input also for CMD-F. Why not always like this? 2/x
TIL @BBEdit has an official song.
Was installing BBEdit 15, ran into it in the "About Box", scroll all the way to the bottom.
This always been there?
