The Enkoder ... for Leopard?

enkoder-leopard-teaser.png

Long ago there was a Mac OS X version of the Enkoder available, and I’m thinking about re-releasing an updated, Universal Binary version for Leopard (and Tiger).

I wouldn’t charge anything for it at this point, but I might include a donation link.

Is this something you might be interested in?

Discuss.

Yes! Please! I used to have it in my old laptop, and was quite disappointed to see it gone from your site.

Jared ·

Absolutely! I use it on a regular basis.

Ben ·

Sure thing! I still use the old one in Rosetta.

Mat ·

Yes, I'm interested! I love Enkoder <3

sho'fr ·

YES!

Josef Herz ·

Yes - I have used your app to help protect the small NPO I do work for from getting spammed. So please .... much appreciated.

Jason ·

Yes! Would love to see that and Dimensionizer too! :D

Jeremy P ·

I'd appreciate it.

Dan Benjamin ·

Would having the app be a big benefit over the web version?

Simon Clayson ·

I was going to say: What's the difference to the web version?

Nico ·

Since I use the Enkoder Form only on my Mac anyway, I would love to see an updated Desktop version.

Chris ·

I find myself using the web version every now and then. I suppose a native app would be nice. I'm not picky ... the web app is already cool enough! :D

I used my old version of the Enkoder literally just last week, to update all of my web-exposed emails (which I add the current year to, e.g., info-2008@...). I would love to have an updated version.

The advantage of the desktop version is it preserves my old choices for the menus, so I can make quick edits ("8" for "7"), keep my hover and no-JavaScript messages consistent, etc.

Plus, my organization system for my applications is a lot better than my organization system for my web bookmarks (there are a lot fewer apps on my system, by an order of magnitude, at least). So it's easier to find the local version when I want to make a quick update.

Alderete ·

Oh, and, ahem. If the web version goes down (for problems, for lack of attention, forever), the web-based version is inaccessible, and it's outside my control. If my laptop goes down, I have bigger things to worry about than enkoding an email address or three, but it's under my control.

Daniel Craig Jallits ·

I want the update!!!

Jason ·

An updated version would be great!

Ryan Rickerts ·

After I bought a Macbook a little over a year ago, I soon became a Rails developer (thanks in large part to your install tutorials!) so as I convert all my sites to run on that framework, I will be using your Enkoder Rails plugin! (p.s. still looking for that Rails on Leopard discussion. Thanks!)

Steve ·

Update please. Love this app.

Ep ·

Yes, I'd like to have it again.

I downloaded the old app this week because the web app link was not working or I could not find it. It worked on Intel with OS X 10.4.x. I think as long as the web app is working you don't need to expend effort to improve the desktop version.

masukomi ·

I'd use it, but honestly I wouldn't pay / donate for it because there are plenty of free alternatives. If only someone could come up with a viable micropayments system.

"Would having the app be a big benefit over the web version?"

Sure would, with the app version we can tweak it, bend it and otherwise coerce it to doing other things. :)

c. zheng ·

Yessir.

Brewpot ·

That would be swell, and a command line interface would be nice too :)

smileyface ·

Please! I use it all the freakin' time!

_sf

Greg ·

Yes Please!

Peter ·

Please please please do both Dimensionizer and Enkoder for Leopard. Dimensionizer is the best and quickest way to view, copy and paste pixel dimensions.

Sharif ·

I agree with Peter... I'd definitely use Dimensionizer and Enkoder, and would gladly donate for them.

Kyle ·

I'd love if you kept this available as an app; we use it all the time. Probably wouldn't use the web version.

amoeba ·

bumpity. $10 at least from me if i see it. tnx!

J ·

I would absolutely be interested and I would be willing to pay for it.

MC ·

I opened version 3 under Leopard today and updated the web site and it appeared to still work; however, I would welcome an update to a great app!

Dan Benjamin ·

@MC - It will work, but it's not a Universal Binary and not ready for Leopard.

I've got it running on Leopard as a UB now, I'll release soon.

MC ·

I look forward to the UB, Leopard version. I use it all the time. Great work!

Geoffrey Knobl ·

Yes, I find it very useful. I would donate something small.

B ·

Absolutely! I used the Enkoder several times and found it very useful. Thank you!

Sally Craft ·

We use this a lot and we'd be happy to pay for it.

Jane ·

yes, please!

Peter ·

Yrs, please! Charge us a couple bucks for it too. You deserve something for your work.

Enkoder has to be one of the most used small apps I have over the past 12 mths. A Leopard version would be great.
More mportantly I would lie to see a class or id input added I might use the same address in different styles on different websites and it would be helpful.
Also, grey on white makes for difficult reading when your my age.
I enjoy your work

Josh H. ·

I use it quite often still so I'd love to see an updated version. The app version is nice when working on a project offline. Many thanks! :)

Al ·

I just discovered this excellent app, and was able to find a download of 3.0 somewhere. An update would be awesome!

Joel Sanda ·

I'd use it. I frequently update a non-profit's website for the group and use your online version for the email addresses. Since I maintain a local copy of the site on my machine and am not always within WiFi range it's something I sorely miss!

·

Boy, do I miss the Enkoder web form too. I used it constantly, and there's nothing else even remotely like it. For someone like me who knows HTML but is not a programmer, it's invaluable.

I would love the application to be available soon as well -- even though I'd have to use it at home, since I'm toiling away on a PC at work!

Yes, a universal binary version of Enkoder working on 10.4 and 10.5 would be great.

I still use Enkoder 3.0 which works nicely with 10.4
