GIOVANNI LANZANI  It seems very nice but it needs some sort of autocompletion feature, otherwise it will be a real pain to write with it. Right now I'm using Aquamacs + AucTeX + Skim, which is a nice trio, but I'm still not 100% convinced of Aquamacs because, despite its name, it doesn't feel so Aqua. But AucTeX power makes TeXshop simply ridiculous..so..if you would make an autocompletion system like AucTeX, you would have the best program around for writing TeX.

But.. hey great work for a 1.0.0.1

ANONYMOUS  Thank you for the comment.

Autocompletion is definitely on the to-do list.

Right now the main thin is to ensure that what you write in the program is actually what ends up in the saved file, and that the basic functionality works as it should.

I have a lot on the drawing board for future releases =)

PANAYOTIS  Well, there *is* auto-completion, for free, since you are using the standard aqua widgets.

Just press Escape and completion is here!

It might not work at it's best, in the beginning, but it's able to learn!

MARK EVERITT  I really like the layout for this, especially the way the tree of TeX files works on the left. I'm writing my thesis at the moment and I may well switch to this. TeXShop is my other editor, and whilst pdfsync allows me to open anyfile with a command-click on the relevant section of the pdf, this always leads to TeX files open all over the place. Until TeXShop does tabs TexWriter wins!

One wish is for pdfsync support!

ANONYMOUS  I will look into pdfsync support...

Remember to post bugs and feature request at http://deliciouscode.lighthouseapp.com

And remember to back up your thesis - it's still a beta =)

MARK EVERITT  Oh I have backups! I'm so paranoid that I have automated backups to completely different parts of the world in case of nuclear holocaust. :D
