Flux 2 - XHTML + CSS Editor (33% off before 1-7-09)

Tags: (mac software)

Howdy,

I've been spending a little time trying to find a (X)HTML editor for the Mac. I've used Coda and recently missed the Panic Software sale, had I known I would have bought it. As it is I've got a chance to look around at alternatives. And so I am playing with Flux 2 from theescapers.com. The developers want Flux 2 to be a DreamWeaver killer and although it is early days it has promise.

Flux 2:

  • * Is an extensible WYSIWYG XHTML and CSS page editor with a Code Editing
  • * Has a useful debugger, a built in preview (though I'd like to see an option to preview in any installed browser)
  • * Supports jQuery, Ruby On Rails, MooFX out of the box
  • * Can publish pages via S/FTP and MobileMe
  • * is Beta software and contains a few bugs

There's a handful of fairly important things for them to get right yet but I got carried away and bought a license for it. It's a bit of a leap of faith but I like it enough to invest in it's future In use it can be a bit frustrating because of the bugs but if you are interested in HTML editors and can't stretch to Dreamweaver it might be worth a look. The developers seem very responsive and there have been regular updates. Flux 2 sells for £40 I would imagine post Beta that price will go up.

MacTech have a discount code worth 33% off the current price of 40 GBP which is valid until the 1st of July MacTech
