This is just yet one more example how Fog Creek, as a company, consistently demonstrates that they are a classy bunch of guys.<p>They treat their customers and developers well, Joel has contributed quite a bit of knowledge to the startup community, and on top of that, open-sourcing a dead product so that its fans can keep it going should they want to.

Thanks for open-sourcing it.<p>I wanted to use it but couldn't find a way to use a tool that didn't play with source control. It didn't work for sites too simple to need Git because it only hosted CSS and thus made the project too complex.

This looks great, I wasn't aware this existed. Can anyone share some similar tools they use to speed up that Ctrl+S and changing between windows process that happens when editing CSS?

A pity, I use this frequently, all my sites use this for CSS simply because they're small and make small style fixes easy.
