Hammer for Mac is Back

[@briandgarside]

LET'S GOOOOOO!!! So excited for the rebirth of Hammer, I loved this app so much back in the day, and it is a massive hole in my life. I loved building sites in Hammer and can't wait to get back to it! Thanks so much Steve!

Competition is good. love to see you come back I'm a vim linux user so I won't probably get to try that but great to see new editors there to learn something everywhere

So excited. Hammer and Anvil were my favorite toolstack long time ago. I did like HAML though, cause it saved so much time caring for closed tags.

Hi Steve, thank you for giving the Hammer App a new chance :) As a user from the first moment on, I have to confess that my balance of work steps has shifted since then. By that time I created static pages and for that purpose the app was great. Today I am always working with a CMS in which template engines allow the same modular way of working with partials of pages, although of course often not as comfortable as Hammer offers. Therefore I am not sure if I could integrate the app into my workflow. But maybe I just can't imagine what the app will be able to achieve, therefore it would be great if I could stay informed. Maybe there are killer features for my way of frontend programming?! Best wishes from Hamburg, Germany Andreas

@@andreasgerlach4963 what CMS do you use? The whole area of content integration is a really interesting one to figure out the boundaries of Hammer’s scope. Old hammer supported Contentful, Chisel (our own headless CMS) and Cockpit headless CMS to generate pages and was mostly used alongside a templating language like Slim or Haml. I feel like there’s an opportunity for a simple, lightweight Hammer Tag enabled way to integrate SSG from headless CMS. I’m open to it. That said, there’s many such options now in this area, so I want to be really clear on the use case.
