Meh.

Doesn't seem to work as advertised in Chrome (dev channel).

Not bad, but I was never able to really get into CSSEdit, which is sort of what I imagine it to be similar to. A lot of missing editor features - or maybe it just not being vim.

My biggest gripe here is that I have to trust someone else to host my CSS. I just can't do that.

I guess I was hoping for a better CssEdit and it wasn't.

"You can always export a pretty-printed version of your website’s CSS at any time (both the preview and published versions)."

Its extra work, but you can publish the exported CSS with your site.

I may just be slow, but I didn't see a way to actually start editing without embedding their link tag on my site. I imagine that'd be hard to do what they want without a bit of hackery to get around cross domain issues, but for casual poking around, it was more than I wanted to do.

I did read that quote, though.

Officially speaking, we don't support the dev channel. It just isn't feasible.

That said, if you could send us a bug report at webputty@fogcreek.com or via https://webputty.fogbugz.com/?pg=pgPublicEdit we'll take a look and see what we can do.

If you want to host it yourself, you can use WebPutty to edit it, and then use the export link (page with a green arrow coming out of it) to get out the compiled CSS.

Seems fixed now. If you did something, thanks. If not, please accept my apologies for a waste of time.
