Unfortunately the one application I would like to see that I can’t seem to find is something like PackRat but for Basecamp instead of Backpack

Read the rest here.

I’ve been thinking of taking a different approach with Packrat’s user interface. I could go ahead and do this in Packrat 2 or wait till Packrat 3. The approach would be to make Packrat look like most information manager apps on the Mac which all look kind of like Mail. Each Backpack page would be treated like a folder. Selecting a page (or folder) would display a list of all the items (notes, images, etc.) on the page (in the folder). Then selecting an item would display that item.

I kind of like this approach. What do you think?

I love the Mac Indie community. As a thank you, I would like to give a free copy of Packrat to any Mac indie developer who would like one. Just email me the link to your website where your software is on display and I’ll send you a coupon.

In this ever increasing web accessible world, does Packrat and other offline desktop web app clients still make sense? I like to know what you think on this as well.

Just released 1.7.7. This one fixes problems with converting Textile nested lists and paragraph attributes. Get it here.

This release fixes another bug in converting textile content when you had a normal HTML link. The bug would cause Packrat to hang, so if you have been having problems download right here.

PackRat 1.7.5 fixes issues with creating pages and reminders via AppleScript and problems with the Synchronize with Backpack Automator action. Both problems only occurred in OS X 10.5. See the release notes for full details.

I just released PackRat 1.7.4. This one fixes another Textile conversion bug. Packrat wasn’t converting links properly if you had a bunch right next to each other.

I just released a new version of Packrat. This one fixes a number of issues with Textile conversion. See the release notes for the details.
