Ask HN: Do you develop on a Mac? What apps do you use?
Do you develop on a Mac? What apps do you use?
- dlevine 17y agoTextmate and Eclipse. I use vi for quick editing. I also use Virtualbox for running virtual Linux and Windows (for testing)
- bgnm2000 17y agoI develop (rails) on a mac - I use textmate and terminal
- rickharrison 17y agoMy most common applications in my workflow are Coda, Terminal, and Fireworks for the occasional graphics editing. Also, XCode is a big player when I'm doing my iPhone development.
- weaksauce 17y agoHow do you like Coda? How well does it adapt to rails/django? Is it only for the front end stuff or can it handle the heavy lifting of the server side stuff?
- zaphar 17y agoI use a mac but the tools are pretty much the same as a linux box. ITerm + Vim + various Gnu Utilities
- billturner 17y agoTextMate for code and SequelPro for MySQL. The rest is built in: Terminal, Apache + PHP. Also, I off-and-on use Things for task lists (now I'm back on using TODOs in Textmate).
- weaksauce 17y agoI use xcode, textmate, cyberduck for sftp, gitx for basic git usage, terminal for most of the heavy lifting, vim on servers. Photoshop when needed to tweak something minor but mostly I am a programmer.
- bgray 17y agoAquamacs is fantastic!
- mwerty 17y agoThis has saved me a lot of time: http://infinite-labs.net/afloat/ http://infinite-labs.net/afloat/
- redrory 17y agoI use Coda and MAMP.. and they do everything I need
- alttab 17y agoTerminal, Vim, Cyberduck, and photoshop. Keepin' it simple folks.
- docmach 17y agoI use SubEthaEdit or TextWrangler depending on what I'm writing. SubEthaEdit has better syntax highlighting for some things, including Go, but TextWrangler acts more like I want it to.
- elmindreda 17y agoIn addition to the Xcode tools, I use MacVim, MacPorts and iTerm. People who do more than quick edits with Vim on OS X should have a look at MacVim.
- notzach 17y agoI do a lot of django and drupal development so I use screen, vim, terminal, hg/git/svn, virtualenv and MAMP. I also use firefox with firebug, and the Live HTTP headers plugin, and virtualbox for virtual windows and linux environments.
- mark_l_watson 17y agoTextMate and RubyMine (Ruby and Rails), Eclipse (AppEngine, Wave robot dev), IntelliJ (Java), AquaEmacs and SBCL/Franz/Gambit-C (Common Lisp and Scheme). For documentation/writing: OmniGraffle and Latex (and sometimes Page or OpenOffice.org)
- toddje 17y agoI tried using Aquamacs for a long time, but it didn't work out, and I just switched back to 'plain emacs' now that the mac version builds out of cvs. I also use iTerm, Fabric, django, mysql and svn.
