RE: Snap.svg

Hello,
 

 Working with the Brackets team at Adobe, I reached out to NJ who initiated the effort and here is is comment on SVG and Brackets:

 Hi James—I think there might be a misunderstanding about what Brackets is. 
 

 Brackets is a free, open-source code editor for front-end web developers, primarily focused on HTML, CSS and JS, with some innovative features like live development and inline editors. It’s also written in HTML, CSS, and JS, so it’s easy for web developers to hack on and extend.
 

 We don’t have specific features for SVG built in yet, but you can edit the code of SVG files with syntax coloring. Also, there’s an SVG Preview extension available in our extension registry that lets you do live development of SVG files—as you edit the code, the preview updates automatically.
 

 It would be great to hear what kinds of SVG features you think would be useful in a code editor, if any. Feel free to try out Brackets by downloading it from http://brackets.io http://brackets.io, and file ideas in our issue tracker on GitHub: https://github.com/adobe/brackets/issues https://github.com/adobe/brackets/issues.
 

 (BTW, you might have been confused by our “PSD Lens” demo, which shows a prototype Brackets extension that lets you inspect a PSD and extract information from it directly into your code. That’s a prototype that we’re working on for improving workflow between designers and developers, but isn’t shipping yet.)
 

 
 Thanks!

 Checked out Brackets, seems to be primarily focused on PSD files, not SVG. I'll spend more time later too see if has any SVG development merit.

 Yes, snap.svg looks very interesting and useful. Also, another thing that I learned about at The Graphical Web is brackets. (from http://brackets.io/ http://brackets.io/ ). It is a very nice HTML editor, and it allows for real-time editing of SVG in HTML. It's an open source thing originally developed by Adobe but open sourced relatively recently. One edits code in one window and views, with real-time updates, the web page in a Chrome window. Very nice and very handy. I think I've found my code editor of choice. One of my students has been playing with snap.svg and Brackets at the same time and is, so far, very pleased. Brackets is written in JavaScript and has good internal understanding of HTML, CSS and JavaScript. I haven't gotten deeply into SVG projects with it yet, but it appears to handle whatever the Chrome browser would handle. 
  
 It's well worth experimenting with and the download is painless.
  
 cheers

 Heads up for anyone messing with SVG with JavaScript (doesn’t everyone?).
  

 I expect most on this list will already be aware, but for the sake of completeness I’m doing my bit to share…
  

 From the creator of Raphaël <http://raphaeljs.com http://raphaeljs.com> is a new library: Snap.svg <http://snapsvg.io http://snapsvg.io>


  

 Unlike Raphaël, it does not attempt any shims for old versions of IE; This is a Good Thing as it frees up the library to address more SVG goodness.

  

 I’ve only touched it lightly, but have not been disappointed. I’d be interested to hear if anyone on the list stumbles on any examples that demonstrate what can be done please share them.

  

 Cheers

 Ollie
