I use a browser called Colibri (https://colibri.opqr.co/).

It has something called Links, where all URLs that you added are sorted by date. You can save a URL quickly with keyboard shortcut (CMD+D).

I also organize the links that I frequently visit by topics in the Lists section.


Thanks. I wanted to try Node.js. I thought since something like skimpage requires a lot of http calls, it will be suitable to use node.


skimpage works by parsing feed url from a page. Not all pages include feed url unfortunately.

You can try other news website or paste feed URL directly. Then you will get something like this. http://skimpage.com/feeds/524f94b811c69d220b000001


Aha. I thought it would make a single article "skimmable" -- I didn't realize this was about feeds.

At the very least it should capture the error and give some kind of feedback.


Added error message. Thanks!


I set cmd+t for goto anything and cmd+p for command palette.


I hope this comes true that the developer of ST2 will shift focus to the cosmetics and the interactions.


We need something other than an S key.


Can you point out what it is? So far I'm happy with it.


In my brief testing with some CoffeeScript files, I had a few autocomplete suggestions that got the last few letters clipped off. Not a big deal, but a little odd.


I wanted to design an icon replacement for it. When you think about it, "Sublime Text" is really hard to describe as an object.


Anybody tried ST2 and moved back to TextMate?


I gave it a shot one weekend, but went back to my highly-customized TextMate. ST2 is still rough around the edges. It doesn't show source control status in the sidebar. TextMate has the ProjectPlugin plugin which solves a lot of those problems: http://ciaranwal.sh/projectplus. ST2's find-in-project was also kind of annoying, at least compared to AckMate (https://github.com/protocool/AckMate).

I realized I don't want to make the same mistake that I made when I switched to TextMate: Using a closed-source editor. One day, Sublime Text 2 will stop being developed. It's not clear if they'll ever change the license to something that allows community development. ST2 will probably end up like TextMate: consigned to the graveyard of abandoned closed-source text editors.

That's one advantage of Vim and Emacs: They're never going away.


I'm sort of on the fence. I'm still using TextMate at work, but trying ST2 for some personal projects. It's pretty good, but there are a few things I miss, for instance TextMate packages make great use outputting HTML to a webview for things like Markdown previews, SVN/Git blame, etc. Maybe I'm missing something, but there doesn't seem to be anything quite the same in ST2.


That would be me. The one feature it misses is multiple line editing by holding down option and dragging.

Though the op's tips make me want to has another look.

Cheers

You can do that with ST2.


To be fair, you can't drag a box selection like you can in TM.

However, Sublime's multiple-cursor support is far superior otherwise.


I know someone who did, said it never felt as smooth for Rails dev, but he'd spent years in it grinding code out so it's hard to retrain that muscle memory. I didn't like TM much to start with some ST2 was an easier switch.


I never really used IDE like IntelliJ or RubyMine. But I always feel they are too bloated. Maybe just different use case.


I can use IntelliJ for anything from Python to Ruby to Java to Go to Haskell.

Sure it takes a little longer to start up than a no-plugin Emacs or Sublime Text, but it also does a lot more and I don't have to fiddle with it to make it work.


The Go and Haskell support is better in ST2 than in IntelliJ. For Python and Ruby, it depends. IntelliJ is unquestionably better for Java, though.

Also, consider that ST2 is in its infancy and how developed its language support already is (see SublimeClang, for example). As ST2 becomes more popular, it might compete with the most developed IDEs.


And it will also become slow and bloated and people will move on to the next fast, lean editor that only needs feature x & y.

Wash & repeat ad infinitum.


I think that's unlikely. ST2 is already exceptionally fast and complete as an editor. As an IDE, ST2 requires plugins. These plugins are written in Python (which can use libs written in C) as opposed to vimscript or elisp. Moreover, these plugins aren't required for editing text files (or having SublimeClang isn't going to significantly slow down editing python files).


Vim and Emacs kill that argument. Neither is slow, and both are older than dirt in computer years. Sublime Text may continue the march without becoming super slow as well. I'm sure a Java-focused IDE could be fast and excellent, but that's not their focus.


I'm only using ST2 because TM2 took forever to release and even the the alpha wasn't compelling.

So I'm much more worried about developer fatigue than bloat in my editor choice.
