The editor in Coda incorporates a licensed version of the SubEthaEdit engine, rather than having a custom one, to allow for sharing of documents over the Bonjour network. The Files portion is a regular FTP, SFTP, FTP+SSL, and WebDAV client, where the user can edit, delete, create, and rename files and folders. Another notable feature is the ability to add a Local and Remote version to each site, allowing the user to synchronize the file(s) created, modified or deleted from their local and remote locations.Ĭoda incorporates a slimmed down version of the company's popular FTP client, Transmit, dubbed "Transmit Turbo". When Coda is closed in the midst of a project and then reopened, the user is presented with exactly what it was like before the application was closed. Each site has its own set of files, its own FTP settings, etc. In Coda, sites are the equivalent of "projects" in many other applications like TextMate. Users can also split the window into multiple sections either vertically or horizontally, to access multiple sections or different files at the same time. The application is divided into six sections (Sites, Edit, Preview, CSS, Terminal, and Books), which are accessed through six tabs at the top of the application.

Assigned to the project were 5 engineers, 3 people on support and testing, one designer, and one Japanese localizer. What is known from Panic co-founder Steven Frank's blog is that Coda development started at Panic sometime in late 2005. The lack of full-featured website development platforms equivalent to application development platform Xcode served as the purpose for Coda's creation.Ĭurrently, little is known about the actual development of Coda. The concept for Coda came from the web team at Panic, who would have five or six different programs for coding, testing and reference.
