Just so you know, most of the action is in their unofficial Discord server.

Hi goalieth. I am trying to send an application for the fullstack dev position but I can't seem to submit the form. Pretty sure I have not applied before since I keep track of all my applications. Let me know if there's anything I can do. Feel free to reach out to me in my public email: kapitanluffy@gmail.com

Thanks for posting this grasber. Sent an application and looking forward to your reply!

Based from the previews in the website, all I can say is that this is awesome! It feels very inspired by Sublime Text! Even the low-tier license seems inspired by ST; you buy a license, use it forever but won't get updates

Looking upfront, I know you will succeed on this. I remember way back there was a file manager who did the similar thing. It is very ST-inspired. It got all the hype given how "sleek" the application is. It even did an "open-source promise" thing.

It was very promising at that time until the developer went.. not sure how to describe it but for the lack of a better term, "profit-focused". Ironically, it does make a profit; as stated on the website.

That app is still around. Not sure if the dev is still active but the issue tracker is. Last I heard from the dev is a YT "tear down" video. I guess at the end of the day, the guy is a "business man" and would do his best to make money.

I hope you stay focused on delivering a good product. Collaborate with your community and rest-assured, profits will follow.

I dropped by your Discord. Ping me whenever!

there is a "Find in Files" feature. It will show you a new tab with results where you can use key binds to navigate (next, previous, open line of result)

You can see the feature under "Find > Find in Files" You can see the "navigation" under "Find > Find Results"

Support for syntaxes (and/or debuggers) are mostly provided by the community. Creating a syntax for your language shouldn't be that hard afaik. Just head over to https://discord.sublimetext.io to talk to the active community

Here's my two (or three?) cents

1. There are several plugins that allow AI integration 2. There is an active community on https://discord.sublimetext.io

3. From what I can perceive based on Sublime HQ's responses, it's main focus for Sublime Text is simplicity and to be a text editor. You can notice this if you look at the banner text in the website; it says "Text Editing, Done Right". And while it is mainly used for code and most of its users are developers, it tries not to be. However, it does provide people the ability to extend it however they please.

Overall, Sublime Text is indeed not as fully featured as VSCode because it is not supposed to.

If you (or anyone here) feel Sublime Text is dead, the community is super active at discord. You can actively engage with ST devs and package developers there.

does it affect gecko browsers? firefox?

Ah that is unfortunate. If I can say one thing against Sublime HQ, it is that they are bad at communicating. I assume you are on a business license (thus the yearly) and you expected that there will be releases. Not as frequent but something that will signal you that they are active.

As a "dev" user (the unstable version), I can say that they are active. They have 6 builds just this year. 4 of which are large ones. Unfortunately, they just released those in "stable" last Aug 2.

Previous years are also bad. They released to "stable" mostly before the year ends while "dev" has builds almost every month.

If I were them, I would leverage the "we are so quiet" and provide exclusive access to frequent builds to paying customers. Sure they might be "unstable" but as a paying customer, I would rather have an unstable product than not hear from you the whole year.

Anyway, going back to my point, they are active. I can vouch for that. They are just really bad in doing "company" things. In my purely honest opinion, it is not enough for a business to have a great product if you can't appeal to your target market. They are lucky enough that there are people who fell in love with ST and stuck around.

Why though? Anyway, I guess there's a reason for that lol

This. I have a love and hate relationship with VSC. I try to migrate but always end up using Sublime again.

Whoa. That looks more expensive than a $99/3 years or am I computing it wrong?

Based on your statement, I assume you tried Sublime with LSP and found it hard to setup?

Nova? Whoa! I will try this!

my man!

Curious, what kind of revenue model do you suggest?

the community is very much active in there!

Tried it and it's awesome! Cool that I saw someone on the issues tab port it to ST4 too. btw, have you tried gruvbox?

That's unfortunate. Is it like they monitoring your laptop for software installed? I had this issue way back. I just said "Ah, Sublime Text is free. Sure, buy me a license if you want but if it's free, there are no legal issues, right?"

Yeah this sucks. Afaik, they're debating about this and from what I read removing 3.3 means killing the plugin ecosystem.

Curious, what's your specs?

multiple windows?

Looks like I'm not the only one experiencing this with Obsidian. I have been trying to incorporate it with my flow but it feels clunky? I guess those are the micro-annoyances you are talking about?

Thanks for this. I got a new plugin idea!

I wonder what made you feel that Sublime is not good enough. Vent it out on me :D

Yes, it is a great tool too! If you have any questions or curious if the product is still developed, hangout on Sublime's Discord :D

I wonder what extensions you tried to port or the ones you can't live without. I want to try to port it

I wonder what's the last version you use? I do agree the plugin ecosystem is in shambles but they do have actively developed plugins. It's just not easy to discover.

The only significant thing that I think VSCode has over Sublime is the Live sharing stuff.

btw, Sublime Text has a built in vim bindings albeit disabled by default. I suggest you give it a try.
