Awesome – glad you are happy with my approach to the problem. Hopefully you will be very happy with the way things evolve.

Very cool. And just as an FYI, a recent migrant from Blogo to Mars Edit. Really liking what you are doing and how the software continues to develop. Kudos.

Just some more votes for the following (in order of importance…for me :-D) –

1) Custom fields for WordPress

2) Offline image editing

3) WYSIWYG

Keep up the good work.

Support for posting drafts on the blog is a humongous win. It allows me to know exactly how a blog entry will render before publishing. I can also imagine using that feature to collaborate on blog entries (e.g., getting someone to catch typos before I publish). It has instantly changed how I use Mars Edit and has made the product far more valuable.

Thank you for adding this feature, and thank you for making it obvious how to use it.

I disagree that wysiwyg is not a prime concern. It is! I haven’t found a good desktop interface to my drupal sites. The lack of wysiwyg prevents me from choosing marsedit.

I’m so grateful for Mars Edit! I agree that wysiwyg is not a prime concern, but that wordpress pages and custom fields would be an amazing addition.

Offline images would be a good idea too

Hi Daniel,

Totally hear you on all your points. I extend my sympathy. I know this shouldn’t be an excuse for you to rest on your laurels but MarsEdit is great as it already is, so don’t get yourself to worked up over what hasn’t been delivered.

I second the notions above regarding wanting something done right first instead of something simply being done (sloppily).

Thanks for keeping this fantastic tool alive Daniel !
I quote Otávio on the editor: the fact MarsEdit is not ‘another’ WYSIWYG editor has been fundamental in choosing it.
And if you want my vote for future enhancement: WordPress Pages support & a Media manager that allow a full offline experience.

I think MarsEdit is great as it is! Don’t stress yourself out adding features (and probably, bugs), it really is nice now, and we’re all happy whenever there’s a new little feature to play with.

For your own sanity, keep doing things right, *then* ship! Like you’ve been doing. We appreciate your efforts.
