Nova Code Editor Reviews and details

• Ask HN: Other than VS Code, are there any good IDEs for remote development?

  There there use to be a stronger distinction between Text Editors and IDE’s. Of course there is a wide spectrum from something like ‘nano’ to Microsoft’s Visual Studio (not VScode) On macOS, BBEdit has had SFTP since the late 1990s. BBEdit is probably closer to the Text Editor than IDE when compared to VSCode https://www.barebones.com/products/bbedit/ Also on macOS, Panic’s recent Nova editor includes SFTP.

• How VSCode made bracket pair colorization 10,000x faster

  > Meanwhile, everyone is absolutely free to create a native VSCode clone. But that isn't happening at least for now. I think Nova[1] is generally angling for that spot on Mac. I really wanted to embrace it, and someday if I have a bunch of free time to indulge my curiosity I may well do. But… > Everyone hates VSCode, but nobody ever has managed to offer a competing alternative. This, plus even trying a new editor... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Software Developer Mac Apps

  Nova. Trying it out for now, still not entirely sure if it can truly replace VS Code for me. I really wish it can though, because I really appreciate the speed and following of conventions that come with being a native Mac app. Source: 12 months ago

• Dragon's Lair

  Steven Frank, co-founder of Panic, a Mac software developer (who also waded into the hardware developer waters with the handheld gaming system Playtime) used to have a blog where he posted this spectacular remembrance to growing up in the mid-80s when his dad splurged and bought a used Space Ace arcade cabinet.

• The best Mac Apps to unlock your max potential (recommended by users of r/MacOs )

  If you want to try something more modern-looking (it's amazing to see BBEdit going strong still to this day — I have nothing against it) there's an app from Panic Inc (known for the old classic application Transmit) called Nova. It's available from https://nova.app and costs $99 for the first year. It's a hybrid subscription/one-time purchase. If you disable the renewal, the app will continue to run forever (for...

• Are subscriptions the doom of the tech sector?

  Subscriptions for simple usage only make sense for a true service with an ongoing cost to the provider; cloud storage, email, movie streaming, etc. A subscription for a general-purpose application is incongruous; you’re purchasing a finished product with no ongoing costs, like a pair of shoes or a book, and it should cost a one-off fee that reflects the cost that went into producing it. What subscriptions are... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• What apps should I get if I am a programmer in college? Also looking for an app to keep me organized and to brainstorm. Thanks guys.

  Editing code: You might consider a JetBrains IDE, depending on what you use. They're all paid or freemium except Android Studio, but you can get an education license free I think. If you don't want a full IDE, Visual Studio Code has a huge following or Nova (paid) is a well-designed native app. Source: about 1 year ago

• Newbie VS Code user looking for advice

  I'm new to VS Code, coming from Panic Nova (and Coda 2 before that) and just installed it a couple of days ago. Now I'm setting it up for my comfortable work environment, so the switch is not so painful. What would you recommend to do to have the best experience: modify settings, install extensions, best practices, etc. Source: over 1 year ago

• Using Panic's Nova.app for Elixir and Phoenix Development

  At that time I was also experimenting with Panic's Nova.app and thought, "well, let's give this a try, even this Techstack is sadly not handled as a first citizen". - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• HTML / PHP / CSS / JavaScript IDE for MacOS?

  Nova by Panic is by far the most polished and "Mac-like" one out there. Panic also makes Transmit, which has been the go-to FTP/SFTP Mac client for about 20 years (but Nova has the same SFTP engine built-in.). Source: over 1 year ago

• So what IDE do you guys use?

  I use Nova! I tried WebStorm for a month (testing and comparing purposes) and returned to Nova. It has some limitations in terms of plugins and functionality but the basic stuff works great, especially on battery it uses very little power. Source: over 1 year ago

• Why is the default Color Space "Unmanaged" in Figma Mac desktop app and "sRGB" on PC? If you design for web and mobile apps, should you always use sRGB? In what cases should you use Unmanaged?

  I'm not sure why the default is different for both OS, maybe because on macOS, Figma team assumed that most users use an Apple display which are, for the majority, in P3 🤷‍♂️. By using "unmanaged", Figma will render the colors according to your display's color profile, so if you have an sRGB monitor that is well calibrated, you will not see differences. One of the use case I see for using "unmanaged" is: you... Source: over 1 year ago

• VS Code – What's the deal with the telemetry?

  There are much better IDEs. Check out the Jetbrains products. If you want an editor on Mac there is also Nova: https://nova.app The Rust and web related extensions work pretty well. I've been using that for a while. There are a few more around. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
