The folks at Bare Bones Software just announced a big upgrade to their ubiquitous text editor, BBEdit. It’s got too many features to mention, but here are a few that jumped at me:
- A new AI-driven document type called ChatGPT Worksheets, which lets you interact with ChatGPT as you put your words on the page.
- Minimap, a palette gives you a nice overview of the document you’re working on, making it easy to see its structure.
- Expandable Cheat Sheets to reference bits of text that you use often or don’t remember how to type.
- A new UI for Text Factories, a long-standing and unique feature of BBEdit.
You can read more about the new features and get upgrade pricing if you have an older version of the app.
I’ve seen BBEdit grow for the last few decades and it’s nice to see it’s still going strong in 2024.
