QuietSky HTML

[Samji]

Hey, everyone.

How are you?

Anyway I have been working on a simple html editor, QuietSky HTML which when finished I will be using instead of MS Notepad. It is written in Just BASIC.

So far it features:

- Preview page in default browser function.
- Preview page in MS Internet Explorer
- Preview page in Mozilla Firefox (if it is installed, if it is not installed the program tells you this.)

- An autolog console feature that logs successful processes or any errors encountered. This is helping me with development.

I'm am happy with the project so far and wanted to get some feedback on how the UI looks. Its predecessor I was having problems with and I would recommend Just BASIC to anyone, its FREE!

Thanks.

Add tabs and a replace all feature and you've got a good contender.

But I love my Editpad http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Thanks for the feedback.

By Replace All, do you mean a Find + Replace feature. If so I reckon that there's a fair chance I'll have this if possible?

Yeah, tabs is a good idea but its probably quite difficult to get right.

Its probably something I'll include as an update in a future version after this release is finished (if i can do it). http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Yeah Find + Replace.. but if you have tabs then have the option to search through all tabs or just the current one.

Although I code by hand, I think it's mucho cool what you're doing, keep at it! I've always aspired to write apps. Any chance of releasing the source code, under GNU or something? I'm curious how it's written.

Also, any advantage to using "Just BASIC" over something popular like the C language?

[Samji]

Thanks.

I was considering releasing the source code also, but maybe with a later release.

Well, the good thing with Just BASIC compared to C/C++, is that it seems much easier to learn, well quicker.

I'm learning C++ and that is much more complex as you'd probably appreciate. http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

GUI programming in C++ is living hell.
Better off with Basic or C#, takes 1/10 of the time.

Are you using VB.NET or VB6?

[Samji]

No, JustBASIC language.
