What developers say

People who live in it.

Swift developers who got tired of waiting for Xcode to finish indexing.

I really dig the Notes Library and the ability to pin a window to the front. Cot does too little for me, Xcode is overkill for small things so I really love this.

It's an excellent small code editor to explore all your Swift ideas without launching a heavy IDE like Xcode. The option to create an image for sharing code is just perfect!

I was really impressed with the performance, only to learn Notepad.exe is a native app. Where Xcode playground has to work despite Xcode's years of legacy, Notepad.exe has a very promising future.

It's fast, lightweight and refreshingly low-friction — allowing one to jump straight into experimenting with code snippets. It's exactly the Swift playground we've all been wanting.
