It’s been way too long my friends, way too long. We developers, designers, and others on the OSX platform have had to deal with sub-standard, if any, Subversion clients for too long.

I am officially announcing the fact that I already started coding a little project I like to call sVersioN.

Many developers on the OSX platform have also developed on Windows. They know and understand the plethora of wonderful Subversion clients available for Windows, including the absolutely amazing TortoiseSVN. Well, I’m not going to compete with them.

Instead, I’ll be writing an app that does, in fact, manage Subversion repositories and your local repositories. It will give you all the standard functionality you expect from a Subversion client, but will not try to, or pretend to, be more than it is.

I’m going for simplicity here people. Something that can get the job done, compliment your development cycle (or design or otherwise cycle), and stay relatively out of your way. It won’t try to integrate deeply into the bowels of OSX, it won’t try to take over your computer. Rather, it will sit out of the way and be there when you need it, for exactly what you need it for.

I’m simply tired of waiting for a good Subversion client. Why not just make my own.

Oh, it’ll probably integrate with Beanstalk as well.
