![]() And as I thought both CSS and working for his new project are cool, I ‘applied’ and ended up working on the designs. That’s amazing and the community aspect is cool and may even work in Sandvox’ favour.īefore going on, I think I should mention that I did some work for Sandvox as well. While Sandvox is mainly the product of Dan and Terrence, a peek in the application’s acknowledgements window and about box reveals that many people whose names sound familiar from the Mac-centric web have helped or contributed in some way. When Terrence and Dan could finally lean back for a second and have a relaxed chat (as observed thanks to iChat’s lack of respect for their privacy). Until Sandvox was deemed ready for a first release this week. Quickly in some areas and more slowly in others. And Dan wrote up the whole story back then, which I found a bit heartbreaking.īeta releases of Sandvox appeared for testing soon after and progress was made. So it looked like Dan and Terrence had been ‘Watsoned’ again. An application that looks quite similar to Sandvox. It took quite some time to get things going and just as Sandvox was starting to shape up to be looked at by the public, Apple released iWeb in January. And that idea was Sandvox – an easy to use web site creation tool that can generate non-trivial pages which use actual and modern HTML. But he didn’t give up and things worked out reasonably well with Watson staying around for long enough to make its users reasonably happy until things like the Dashboard came along.Īfter selling Watson to Sun and working them for a while Dan together with Terrence Talbot starting coming up with and working on a new idea. Nonetheless this was a shock for Dan Wood, the author of Watson. So it looked like Watson would die – but it didn’t for a long time because Sherlock 3 sucked and Watson didn’t. It was great but then Apple came and released Sherlock 3 which did pretty much the same things. So what history is there to tell? I guess things start some years back with Watson, a Mac application that downloaded web content for you and displayed it in a nice Mac window without the hassle of having to fight web pages. So despite the application only having been released for a few days, I can write enought about it to justify having a table of contents up front. It has been released now – after a long planning phase and a beta phase that seemed eternal for those who watched it and were eager to get their hands on the finished product. Sandvox is a new and mostly non-technical graphical web site generator for the Mac. ![]()
