Rapidweaver6/17/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() I also have no objection to their support model - seems entirely fair to me. The recent showdown with Isaiah will not have been great for them as it hasn’t for anyone and this revised approach looks like a win-win for us all. Realmac at the end of the day is a small business that has done us proud for many years and they’re just looking for a way to develop into the future. Meanwhile, RW continues as it would have done with Stacks support. I’m sure they will drop this if Stacks 5 comes along and dominates the Stacks environment. 3 Double-click on the Stacks icon in the Finder. This ensures that nothing else is going on in RapidWeaver while you install the plugin, and that the auto-open feature of RapidWeaver and the installation process don’t conflict. Meanwhile, rather than moving away from Stacks altogether they have opted to continue supporting the Stacks environment by virtue of Classic - which is really RW9 as we would originally anticipated. This may open open your last used documents. Rapidweaver has become largely dependent upon Stacks in recent years, but they have absolutely the right to bring RW as a standalone product into the 2020’s! Elements is the shot at doing this and I for one am keen to see how it turns out. Requires RapidWeaver 8 or newer and macOS 10.12 Sierra or newer. The new direction makes total sense to me which gives everyone choice, and more over a revenue stream for all the devs involved while things sort themselves out. Easily create sitemaps automatically from your RapidWeaver site. And for those existing users who don’t want to jump to either, they can continue on as before with RW Classic. RapidWeaver has been in continuous development. Both products will I feel shape up to be very different prospects. Realmac Software was founded 2002 and in 2004 released RapidWeaver, a template-based website editor for the Mac. I suspect it will end up appealing to a whole new load of web makers who know nothing of the history, or of stacks & Stacks.Īnd I’ve also no doubt that Stacks will be hugely successful too. I’ve no doubt, that in it’s own right RW will continue to be successful. Mistakes have undoubtedly been made in the RM offices of late, but they have carved out a nice niche for themselves in the web design sector when many other much bigger players fell aside. I somehow seem to have entered a weird alternative reality where I’m the lone voice in support of RW! Maybe I’m misguided?īut to comment on your statement… You are assuming the vocal few on forums make up the majority of users of RW, when in fact it’s such a tiny percentage, it’s almost negligible. I think it has been very clear that most of us will not be part of the Elements idea ![]()
