Advertisement A few days ago I decided to start working on a school assignment; just some basic HTML stuff. My initial response to fire up Notepad++ proved useless, as I had moved to Mac OS X a few weeks ago. Unwilling to fire up my Windows emulation, I went looking for an alternative coding text editor. To clarify, with code-writing applications, I mean (free) text editors that are willing to highlight your code – compilation and validation optional, but often included. I discovered two things during that search. Firstly, Mac OS X has far less software alternatives than Windows, but second, nearly all of them are decent applications. Not having to sift through all that junk, I was quickly set up with a number of excellent coding text editor alternatives.

Best Text Editor For Mac

We’ll start out with a rather advanced application. If you want something lighter, check the application below, or scroll down to the bottom of the article for some additional recommendations. Komodo Edit (based on Komodo IDE) is built on the Mozilla code base, and offers the same extendability. That’s right – you can download extensions for this one. Whatever the flavor, you’ll be able to fit Komodo Edit to your personal taste. Oh, and did I mention that it’s also available for Windows and Linux?

May 24, 2011  This is the best photo editor app. This is better than PicCollage, Over, and other apps like this. PicCollage is great, it’s somewhat of a social media, you can use videos and photos from the web instead of photo roll, but the choices are very limited. There’s only 15 fonts, I believe. Over is a free app to boot but if you take the process of creating beautiful photos with text overlays seriously, you’re going to have to invest a couple of dollars (about six) by buying the Pro upgrades. The easy app for creativity & design. Available on the App Store. Pick photos, videos, colors, fonts and graphics. Share and schedule. Share to Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and more. Or use post scheduling and take the rest of the day off. The Over app made one of THEEEE biggest differences in my workflow and content.
