With much anticipation and plenty of speculation, Coda 2 is now available.
Does it live up to all the hype?
Short answer:
Yes.
Long answer:
Everything is better. More polish. More ease.
Life is good in Coda 2.
The most annoying things have been corrected while requested features have been added, along with some super-duper new stuff that you didn’t know you wanted and will soon be unable to live without.
It’s easy enough to go drool on the Coda 2 website, so let me go over some of the highlights:
- Code Folding
- Live CSS Updating
- Smart Complete
- Sweet Workflow Improvements
- Better Find & Replace
- New UI (This could be bad for those that hate change, but once you get over it, you’ll love it!)
- Git — added.
- Amazon s3 — added.
- iCloud Sync for Sites & Clips
- Built-in Web Inspector
- Full GUI for MySQL Management.
This is just a few of the 100+ new features in Coda 2.
Screenshots
They’ve also released Diet Coda. This will sync your iPad to your code environment as a dedicated preview as you code. Diet Coda also gives you the ability to make quick code fixes on the go.
Nifty.
Upgrades & Pricing
Coda 2 is a paid upgrade.
So, unless you purchased it directly from Panic in the last month or so, you’ll have to throw down your cash on the full priced Coda 2.
However, there is good news for veteraned, new and soon-to-be Coda users: For the first 24 hours, Coda 2 & Diet Coda will be 50% off. That’s today!
Learn more and get Coda 2 (and Diet Coda) from the Coda 2 website.
Are you getting Coda 2?
Bought.
YES!
Purchased! Cannot wait to dig in.
I know, right! SO can’t wait to start a new project!!!
Done and done.
Bold text? Now you’re just showing off
I purchased Diet coda for the iPad, i don’t have a mac yet and probably wont for a few years so i am going to wait to buy coda until then.
You’ll love it
I bought it yesterday and so far I am not that impressed. Maybe it’s the change of workflow that has me looking around for where everything went. Maybe it’ll make more sense after a few days of using it.
If there’s a trial option, I’d recommend that before throwing down the money on it like I did.
Yeah. Trials are the way to go. Also, if would have asked me about my switch from PC to Mac after a few days, I would have told you it was a FAIL. After about ten days, I was SO not ever going back to a PC. Some new things take time to adjust, even when they’re for the better (I hope this is for the better!).
