Welcome!
This is the community forum for my apps Pythonista and Editorial.

First Look at Editorial 1.1
-
I understand this isn't something you can comment on in the absolute but do you see this next iteration of Editorial being released in the 0-3 month period or the 3-6 month?
Definitely 0-3 months.
it's my belief that if the application is fundamentally the same experience across both iPhone and iPad it should be an aptly priced universal App [...]
The overall UI isn't radically different on the iPhone, but there are a lot of little details I had to tweak to make it work on a smaller screen, especially in the workflow editor.
Though I tend to favor universal apps as well, you could also make the argument that users who only own one device would pay for something they don't need... Of course, there are examples of apps where porting it to a different screen size is trivial (e.g. most games), but that's really not the case here.
Still, I've made Pythonista universal (it was initially iPad-only as well), and it's quite likely that I'll go the same route here.

Have you considered naming both of the new versions 2.0.0? That way, Pythonista and Editorial would be matched in version number and it would be obvious that the APIs should be similar.
Just a thought.

@Ole Your are fucking awesome man... I love you so much... Thanks once again take your own time and give me a bug free results...

Wow! I'm impressed! As someone who normally lives in Vim (and MacVim) on Mac/Linux systems (with the full power of the command line & scripts for filtering available), Editorial is like a godsend, being able to write Python tweaks/filters for text editing on iOS. And having an iPhone version is going to greatly simplify some things for me, not having to make do with lesser apps on the smaller device.
At the risk of delaying things further, this seems like a large enough milestone that you could quite reasonably rename them to Editorial2, Pythonista2, charge anew for them (as universal apps), and use the occasion to switch over to Python 3.x. Sort of make a clean break all around. Keep up maintenance/bugfixes on the 1.x versions (if needed), since they both work well on iOS 7 (and folks can stay with them if they're happy), but have all new work/features/etc going into the new v2 versions.
Either way, there's a bunch of folks who'd cheerfully use a "buy Ole a drink" IAP button, or, if Apple won't allow that, maybe a bonus/premium button that gives us some themes or whatnot in return. I understand a title of the "what price will fly" dilemma, but you I think you should get more money for Pythonista and Editorial.
Take all the time you need. ("As long as I can have it tomorrow" Ha! *anxiously waiting*...)

Quick status update: I've just submitted Editorial 1.1 to Apple for review. \o/

Yay!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

btw... Did "TaskPaper mode" make the final cut (oh please say yes...)
-
@Bricoleur Yes.

Hi Ole,
any update for Pythonista coming soon (especially the ui module)?
Regards
Tom -
Oh mid-year Xmas has come!
Completely lost track how many times I've checked back on this forum post for updates on release (I'm sure your analytics knows!)
So very grateful and excited to dig in to this, thank you Ole!
-
@Ole Thanks for the big update...
-
Mhh... i dont know if read the release notes or wait for the surprise...
-
Love the idea of an escape parameter in the open url action!
-
A good thing is worth waiting for.
-
Wahoo!!!
Anyone have an idea how long a typical wait is before Apple approves an update?
Looks good Ole! Way to go!
-
Actual stats say 4-5 days
-
Short Answer: not soon enough in this case!
I've typically seen a couple days to a couple weeks depending on the complexity of app, or complications that end in back and forth for approvals. Certainly never on the weekends so I'm banking on Tues/Wed. Should we start a betting pool :-)
