Hi goalieth. I am trying to send an application for the fullstack dev position but I can't seem to submit the form. Pretty sure I have not applied before since I keep track of all my applications. Let me know if there's anything I can do. Feel free to reach out to me in my public email: [email protected]

Thanks for posting this grasber. Sent an application and looking forward to your reply!

Based from the previews in the website, all I can say is that this is awesome! It feels very inspired by Sublime Text! Even the low-tier license seems inspired by ST; you buy a license, use it forever but won't get updates

Looking upfront, I know you will succeed on this. I remember way back there was a file manager who did the similar thing. It is very ST-inspired. It got all the hype given how "sleek" the application is. It even did an "open-source promise" thing.

It was very promising at that time until the developer went.. not sure how to describe it but for the lack of a better term, "profit-focused". Ironically, it does make a profit; as stated on the website.

That app is still around. Not sure if the dev is still active but the issue tracker is. Last I heard from the dev is a YT "tear down" video. I guess at the end of the day, the guy is a "business man" and would do his best to make money.

I hope you stay focused on delivering a good product. Collaborate with your community and rest-assured, profits will follow.

I dropped by your Discord. Ping me whenever!

does it affect gecko browsers? firefox?

Ah that is unfortunate. If I can say one thing against Sublime HQ, it is that they are bad at communicating. I assume you are on a business license (thus the yearly) and you expected that there will be releases. Not as frequent but something that will signal you that they are active.

As a "dev" user (the unstable version), I can say that they are active. They have 6 builds just this year. 4 of which are large ones. Unfortunately, they just released those in "stable" last Aug 2.

Previous years are also bad. They released to "stable" mostly before the year ends while "dev" has builds almost every month.

If I were them, I would leverage the "we are so quiet" and provide exclusive access to frequent builds to paying customers. Sure they might be "unstable" but as a paying customer, I would rather have an unstable product than not hear from you the whole year.

Anyway, going back to my point, they are active. I can vouch for that. They are just really bad in doing "company" things. In my purely honest opinion, it is not enough for a business to have a great product if you can't appeal to your target market. They are lucky enough that there are people who fell in love with ST and stuck around.

Why though? Anyway, I guess there's a reason for that lol

This. I have a love and hate relationship with VSC. I try to migrate but always end up using Sublime again.

Whoa. That looks more expensive than a $99/3 years or am I computing it wrong?
