[Pro] New Freeway 8

Surprised to still be receiving notes from Softpress forum. Does anyone / many people still use Freeway Pro? I thought it was dead in the water.

It is more ‘paused in the water’ - but currently going through a refit.

We’re rewriting Freeway from scratch so that it will run on future 64-bit versions of macOS. This is a major task (even by comparison with previous transitions, such as the OSX transition) but we’re making good progress! It’s possible that we will have a public beta before we get to release, but we’re not at that stage yet.

Interesting, so do you know it’s going to resurface as a reliable and stable website design tool or would investors likely pull the plug again? When things fell in a heap I went over to Adobe Muse and I absolutely love it, but now with the EOL I’ve been struggling to find something else that suits. I definitely don’t want anything where I have to work online, it must be able to offline, so I’ve been considering Rapidweaver.

Thanks for the update, Jeremy. I’m looking forward to more news.

The only investor in Softpress is Richard Logan, whom I have known for over 20 years. He has been the managing director of Softpress off and on for ~25 years, so I’d guess it’s a passion project for him.

“Passion” is definitely the word if you’ve ever spoken to him about it!

I use Freeway Pro 7 daily and am delighted with it.

Just so you know, Freeway 7 is still in my tool box - it’s put to regular use, both for paid and personal projects.

Thank you Jeremy. It is important for the community to hear about the next version of Freeway :slight_smile:

Oh, I really hope that FW8 comes out before macOS goes 64 bit only. I’ve been a satisfied user since 2001 if I remember right. And I’d hate to move to another tool.

Hi Peter,

Freeway 7.1.4 works fine on Mojave 10.14.1 (apart from the first time warning it’s not 64bit)

Hi Bert,

And indeed anyone who has moved to Mojave

I’m curious how you got on with upgrading to Mojave.

I’m thinking to move to Mojave, but am hesitating before committing to the change!

Hi Jeremy,

Thank you .I 'll wait patiently and continue working with Freeway 7 on my old iMac. Hopefully the computer will last for a while ; )
I am waiting for the release of Freeway 8 to buy a new Mac so that I can avoid any possible compatibility problems.

All the best

I currently am using Freeway 7 again in order to rebuild an earlier FW project in favour of another FW user. The list of pet peeves already is a mile long, so I’m really looking forward to ‘Freeway8’ or whatever the next flagship of Softpress will be baptised.

An CSS editor like the late CSSEdit would be more than welcome …

I would hope it would be MUCH better than that. To most people, that looks like code. I would hope that things would only look like that if you dig into Advanced or Extended settings but for most people you’d just have Styles that made sense (and worked better than the old versions where they kept duplicating themselves, etc.).

I would have to agree with Joe. Anything like that should be well hidden as an advanced feature, otherwise we may as well be using BBEdit to build our sites.

I have moved on and no longer using Freeway, but I drop by occasionally just to see if there is an update. Surely there should be something more concrete by now if genuine progress is being made towards Freeway 8.
