Pick of the Week: Plain Text Wiki bundle for TextMate

plain text wiki (20 May 2007, Interconnected)

TextMate users in search of a simple wiki should check out Matt Webb’s new plain text wiki bundle. He’s made it very easy to quickly generate new “pages” and links using nothing but TextMate, the Finder, and CamelCase words:

This is exactly what I need: A bunch of text documents that I’ll be able to read at any point in the future, in a wiki structure that will be simple to implement in most extensible text editors.

I’d also note that Matt’s bundle works handsomely with Quicksilver’s venerable prepend/append and new file functionalities, so, once you’ve taken the requisite 45 seconds to set this up, you don’t necessarily need to even be in TextMate to make additions. You gotta love text.

Nice work, Matt.


Edit 2007-05-22 17:36:17 Forever confusing my British Matts; This bundle is by Matt Webb not the also-wonderfully-talented-and-funny Matt Jones. Many thanks to jjg for the correction. 43 Folders regrets the error.
