    Oh man, you guys rock... full steam ahead!!!! I gotta have this project!

    Question, where does the code reside? How about simple auto versioning? Tie into and let me browse an ftp directory?
  • Ben Galbraith 9 months ago
    Hey Anthony,

    All of the code is at hg.mozilla.org/labs/bespin/. The project homepage is at labs.mozilla.org/projects/bespin/. Join the Google Group and let us know where you think we should take it!

    Best,

    Ben

    It's really great. But this screencast would be so much better in HD. You can't really read anything you guys show. But thanks anyway for the vid. :)

    This is so awesome! Would love to see you integrate Facebook Connect so that coders can code & share code together. That would make the web even more open and social :)

    That really is amazing. What a great tool for an individual developer. I wonder how this would play out in an enterprise that needed to protect all (or some) of it's code?

    This is totally awesome! I am sure many other people have been waiting for something like this for long.

    Please consider adding support for pluggable syntax colouring and I hope the editor/IDE remains extensible and lightweight.

    small question:
    WHY THE HELL IS NOT OPERA SUPPORTED ?!?!

    The page gives me some made up reason about html5, which, btw, is in opera (and much further implemented then in ff3)

    Ditto the comment about HD. I really like what you guys are doing with the dynamic interface and the 'heat map' approach to file browsing. That's great, and I'd like to see something similar for my local file browser! Or maybe a hybrid heat map/file browser that lives in Firefox and bridges local and cloud-based files. It seems like a really promising alternative to tagging as well. Good luck with the project!

    I have been looking around for something like this because I have an Archos Video device which I discovered uses the LINUX OS and has Wi-Fi capabilities, but no text editing or text file creation capabilities at the current time.

    There is a hack that will let me into the Archos OS
    as root so new apps can be installed.

    Was thinking that this may be the way to turn the Archos unit into a tru Wi-Fi tool.

    The app looks good so far, but I will spend a tad more time to study it before making any install decision in it.

    Good work on a novel idea which should have multiple uses in the computer community.

    Love how the huge amount of text is so easily handled and above all the real-time sharing of code edits! In Panic's CODA although the feature of code sharing rocks, large amounts of text will impact performances (even on a MacPro eight-core with 9GB Ram! :O) Unfortunately for some reason the same code sharing and real-time editing is not available in eclipse and the eclipse-based Adobe Flex Builder 3... Now if only Bespin code sharing could be turned into an eclipse plugin that would be kicka**! ;)
    I see Bespin becoming a "webclipse" eventually! Who knows maybe with adobe permission it can even be used to leverage Adobe Flex SDK so that Adobe can offer an online version Flex Builder! :) Keep up the great work!
