BBEditMay 11, 2023

On this day in 1993, Bare Bones Software (not yet "Inc.") released the first commercial version of BBEdit.

We've seen and done quite a lot since then, and none of it would've been possible without the enthusiastic and unwavering support of our customers. Thank you all for that. ❤️

As part of the celebration, we've got some goodies. For the next 30 hours, you can use the coupon code "BBEDIT30" to purchase a new individual BBEdit license for US$30.

@bbedit My favorite tool, and without a doubt the software that I’ve used the longest of any (sorry, DragThing / @jamesthomson but at least PCalc has been along for a good part of that time 😉).

BBEdit was the main reason why I never tried replacing my Mac with an iPad. Through the years, it’s been with me on every Mac processor architecture. From the 68000 through my new M2, my Macs wouldn’t feel like home without BBEdit.

Happy 30th anniversary, and my thanks to you all at Bare Bones!

@johninparis @bbedit @jamesthomson And PCalc celebrated its first 30 years just 5 months ago.

@roadskater @bbedit @jamesthomson Yup! And I’m a big fan and long-time user of it. But I used DragThing even before that.
