ecto, for everyone

ecto beta version 0.1.6 is now available for download.This version will expire at the end of January, 2004. This is the first public release of ecto.

now playing: Radio Paradise DJ-mixed Modern & Classic Rock, World Beat & more

I’ve used all the betas (there were only 5 prior to this public release) and it’s been quite solid all the way. This version has some nice new icons, as well.

The wins for me?

  • not having to use a browser to edit posts: ecto is quicker at posting changes the xml-rpc interface
  • the custom tags (see example at the bottom and think of how many you can come up with)
  • it’s a real OS X app: access to it through the Services menu works fine as does stuff like spellcheck
  • and of course, it’s well thought-out, building on the success of Kung Log and extending it to do more without bloat

Go get your copy.
