Drivel Rules
The last post that I made regarding the ultimate frisbee tournament, was totally done with Drivel… and it rules.
Of my desired features, this application really does all most all of them. It has great support for WordPress, does syntax highlighting for HTML, does on the fly spell check, saves drafts… I mean this is great.
There are some places that it is lacking, but at this point this application is so close, it has to be a better idea to contribute to this project than it would be to write my own. Specifically, I want to be able to select multiple categories, a better image dialog (I think the default use case is almost always–or should be–a link to the full sized image and a thumbnail in it), and an autosave… in case I screw something up.
All of these features seem very reasonable for me to make some patches and submit them to the author(s). And it would be my first opportunity to contribute to an open source software product, which makes me doubly excited.
I think this is probably goodbye to Boof and hello to Drivel.
(But I’m definitely going to have to reuse the name “boof”, it’s just too good to let go away.)
