MarsEdit guilt trip

In which I am the last person to point to the “MarsEdit 2.0 release”:www.red-sweater.com/marsedit/… I figure if James Duncan Davidson is “just now purchasing MarsEdit”:duncandavidson.com/archives/… I don’t feel bad waiting so long to say good things about 2.0. (Rumor has it Duncan used to post to his blog with a set of Ant XML build files that he would run with custom Lua scripts as part of his Lightroom workflow.)

Seriously, though, it’s easy to believe that Daniel is right when he “talks about the potential for Mac desktop clients”:www.austinheller.com/2007/11/i… MarsEdit had a great start back in the early NetNewsWire days, and 2.0 shows that it has a strong future as well.

At lunch with “Brent Simmons”:inessential.com and the “Rogue Sheep”:www.roguesheep.com guys after C4, just before I left Chicago, we joked that what MarsEdit really needs is a Dock badge with the number of days since you’ve last posted to your blog. A big red guilt trip icon staring you in the face: “25 days since you last blogged, slacker!”
