XStandard Now Available For Safari On Mac OS X!

Tags: ColdFusion, XStandard WYSIWYG

XStandard.com just released a beta for the XStandard WYSIWYG editor for Safari on Mac OS X. Up until now, myself (and all my new clients) have been using the XStandard editor on Windows machines. This is not a problem as the world is on Windows machines (oh settle down!), but this new release just means that practically no one is limited! How freakin' cool is this!

From my initial testing, this still works with my ColdFusion Web Service solution that I built for integration into my ColdFusion based content management systems. So that's nice to know. But then again, there is no real reason that it shouldn't - it's all just SOAP calls.

From a usability standpoint, it works in pretty much the same way, with some interface differences and a new format in license file. But otherwise, it's still the same sweet-ass WYSIWYG editor. If you don't believe me, check out XStandard.com's chart on why they are so awesome.

Even on the Mac, it's the same greater editor:

Life just got a lot more cozy :)

Five Months Without Hungarian Notation And I'm Loving It
I've used headless camel case for years for not only ColdFusion variables, but also SQL tables and fields... pretty much everything involving code. I also subscribe to the "don't abbreviate and clea ... read »

@Marcel, Yeah, I always err on the side of longer but more readable variable names. As for the camel casing of CF methods and the headless camel casing of custom items, I get around this by always ... read »
