MarsEdit is a weblog editor for Mac OS X. It supports posting to many popular blogging services, such as Blogger, Movable Type, Tumblr, and WordPress.
History
MarsEdit was originally developed as a component of NetNewsWire, a popular news aggregator for Mac OS X, which, in the 1.0 series, included a simple weblog editor. During the development of NetNewsWire 2.0, the developers decided to move the blog editor functionality to a new application.[1] The resulting application, MarsEdit 1.0, was released on December 10, 2004.[2]
With the acquisition of NetNewsWire by NewsGator in 2005, the future of MarsEdit was uncertain for a time. On November 4 of 2005, it was revealed that MarsEdit development would be continued by Gus Mueller of Flying Meat.[3] In February 2007, MarsEdit was purchased by Red Sweater Software, and is developed by Red Sweater's owner, Daniel Jalkut.[4]
- MarsEdit 2.0 was released in September 2007, with a refined user interface and several new features including Flickr integration.[5]
- MarsEdit 3.0 was released in May 2010 and includes WYSIWYG editing, enhanced WordPress support, and image library integration.[6]
- MarsEdit 4.0[7]
- MarsEdit 4.5[8]
