Hey Guys,
I’ve been a hardcore user of Intype for quite some time, and use on a daily basis.
Even more, as maintainer of the Ruby Installer for Windows, I’m proud to say that all the development done on it and the related projects has been done using Intype.
Just in case, the link to the new website:
http://rubyinstaller.org/
And the link to my blog:
http://blog.mmediasys.com/
Also, a nifty script to make intype open files or projects in a text-mate way:
http://github.com/luislavena/binfiles/blob/master/it.bat
I’ve been working on a series of small tutorials and creating a series of screencast. While 1.5 years old Intype has proven to be enough for that, been wondering, moving forward, if I should hold until next release to continue my work, or perhaps I can evangelize and tease others about the new release?
This question is more for Intype team than users, tried reach them several times so I hope this time brings their attention.
Regards.
Luis Lavena
Some hint: VirtualBox with Ubuntu Server + map net drive + openssh for windows + console + bridged connections. Working on windows + linux, Rails have speed and all features from Ubuntu, but Your working environment will not change.
Some other good app that could accelerate your work: launchy, fences, navicat, cygwin, xrefresh
all free
in windows ruby You can create in some global path file: script.bat with:
@ruby script%*
and now You can use just script/generate .... instead of ruby script/generate ....
there’s a lot of other simple speedups
I very appreciate Your work to make Windows more friendly for Rails :) Don’t You think to try made some little linux live distro as VM for Rails on Windows?

Thanks for the hint but no thanks. using a Linux box defeat the purpose of building a native Windows version of Ruby. Also, under some environments you cannot install anything like a Virtual VM since it requires admin rights to add the network bridge and so on.

No, again, it defeats the purpose of our work. it is Ruby for Windows, not Ruby inside a VM for Windows.
This is my first post here. I just wanted to say thanks for your post Luis, it really got me excited about InType.
As a newbie Ruby on Windows programmer it’s great to know what the hardcore guys are using and I think you’d make a great ambassador and evangelist for InType.
I’d follow your screencasts and tutorials with interest, especially if you could share some inside info on InType features under development. This would be great marketing for InType. At the moment I sense there’s a lot of excitement about InType in the Windows/Ruby community but I think it’s tempered by reservations about the slow and secretive nature of it’s development (I know this is changing though). To have someone like you, Luis, putting your reputation and authority behind a recommendation for InType would go a long way to easing these concerns and stirring excitement about InType. As well as getting people to start using it now, rather than purchasing e-editor and waiting to see what happens with InType (which was what I was just about to do).

To our bad, I don’t have access nor I’m part of the shadow test base… so cannot comment on the features.

I would say that after years didn’t loose my faith on Intype, but while patience is a virtue, sometimes you can run out of it.
While working on the new Installer for Ruby regretted a series of functionality that Intype lacks, but dealt with it taking in consideration the free and just a text editor aspect of it.
Anyhow, seems that the team is really busy with the development, since we didn’t hear back from them.
Wonder if they ever read the forums nowadays.

Well, that would defeat the purpose of shadow community being shadowy, wouldn’t it? ;)
As of communication, I don’t know about forums, but they do read blog comments. You should also be able to get a hold of them on Twitter.
