Daniel Jalkut of Red Sweater Software provides a look at MarsEdit 4, his program that lets you create and edit blog posts offline. Some of MarsEdit’s new features, what blogging platforms are support and why (or why not), and how he is a user of his own software start out the conversation, but it quickly turns to the more philosophical aspects of software development. Daniel shares some thoughts on inspiration, feature prioritization, and why programming shortcuts are just that.
This edition of MacVoices is sponsored by Smile, the makers of PDFpen and PDFpenPro, PDFpen for iPad, PDFpen for iPhone, PDFpen Scan+, as well as TextExpander for Mac and TextExpander for iPhone and iPad, as well as the new TextExpander for Windows. Great software to help you get more done.
