I wasn't aware that they worked in tandem. I don't remember seeing a reference to each other's product on their respective web sites. Can you provide a reference to using the two products in tandem? Thanks. George: I’m familiar with Flux and Coda. I wasn’t aware that they worked in tandem. I don’t remember seeing a reference to each other’s product on their respective web sites.

This put the development af MM astray and pick pocketed money from GL-users for a version never intended to continue. Well, done is done and respect for Adobe gone. So, Rob, I hope you will soon have a windows version of MM to DW. That will make me send some money in your direction to buy it!

I hate DW so much I've switched to Flux -far superior in many way. Although I haven't abandoned DW completely I may if I make the final switch to Coda - which works in tandem with Flux. Looking forward to seeing it soon - regardless of what it runs in. I hope MenuMachine works with other web tools other than Dreamweaver.

Only you know how much time you can spend on the project so only you know approx when you can deliver. How about some info on when. Now, I said this part in a much, much earlier post. Perhaps you cut some features and consider shipping a v0.75 release that most all of us would pay for with a free upgrade to a real v1.0 release. This would generate cash and help you and we would get a product to work with. Also this could provide valuable feedback for the 1.0 release. How about it?

Communication is key! 7 positive posts in 2 days. No-one wants you to fail Rob. MM was a fantastic product on GoLive and I'm sure MM3 on Dreamweaver will be too. There are lots of people who want to help pay your bills. Now your personal paradigm has appeared, I think you'll find people are more tolerant. We're still gonna bitch 'n moan about how long it's been... but at least we can do it WITH you too! Best of all... there ARE still people here to do it with! But... be as quick as possible! There will be competition! James There ya go! Communication is key! 7 positive posts in 2 days.

Maybe there are external issues that are affecting development. Give the guy a break. When it's soup, it's soup. I know in my personal life, unexpected things have occurred that have changed a business goal. Lighten up. It's only a tool, not the end of the world as you know it. :-) Many are assuming non-performance or lack of interest on Rob’s part. Maybe there are external issues that are affecting development.

If it is financial concerns that are holding you back, then it might be a good idea to block off an "intense focus" period to try and get this project done before everyone has given up and moved on. I am sure that if you did, your financial situation would improve radically from the sales and upgrades to the new version. If you are stuck on any aspects of the coding, then get help from the plethora of talent out there that would be happy to help. In any case, people hate being kept in the dark. Most people would rather have an honest report of progress than to hear nothing at all. Whatever it takes, just get it done and the money problem will solve itself.
