Craft From Sublime

Sublime Text’s command palette sends a page to Craft across a glowing blue garden.

I’ve been a Sublime Text user for a decade now - licensed, at that. Up until recently, my notes were in several places - emails to myself, Google Docs files, Evernote…..and in Sublime. And not just one or two, but….seventy? And guess how many of them were actually saved.

Yes, I understand how nonsensical that sounds. I’ve been computering since I could sit in front of one - sometimes on the lap of my father, or my neighbor, or Uncle Morty. Maybe it was the fear that saving those tabs meant I’d have to own them - and the ideas they contained. Maybe it was me trying to teach myself a lesson - “one day, you’ll regret all those unsaved tabs”.

I have to say, if I was trying to teach myself a lesson, I picked the wrong editor - Sublime’s been bulletproof. In fact, it’s so great that I now have installs full of unsaved buffers on three…four? computers. The emoji with @s for eyes is insufficient to describe the overwhelming feelings.

Eventually, I realized that I had to centralize. I couldn’t keep files in eleven different places, in who knows how many buffers and “note3453q23.txt”s…..

But I didn’t want to give up writing in Sublime.

A weathered journal filled with blue block lettering, sketches, and colorful tabs, beside a teal-grip pen and a cobalt-blue tea cup.

What it does

Open Sublime. Get your wordsmithing on. Or your coding - it really doesn’t matter. When you’re done, open the command palette. Choose a space, a folder, and a name - and your words are now safe in Craft.

Where it stands

Version 1.0 has been released privately. Additional development and a public release are coming soon, although I can’t imagine any of you being as silly as I am.

It’s been tested on exactly one machine - my macOS laptop. YMMV, this was vibecoded in a few afternoons in between life and love and work and who knows how many other projects.

What might grow next

  • Palette-based naming (That silly bottom bar is silly. We’re already aware)
  • Reverse-course mode (Pull a Craft page into Sublime for editing)
  • Careful, conflict-aware updates (Right now, she only makes new pages. Existing ones are left alone.)
  • Better security (Support for Craft API passwords, secure credential storage)
