Where have I been? Saving time with Drush?

It's been a few months since I blogged. I've been busy. In addition to working on a few new websites, I've also been writing a new app.

In the next few weeks, I should have some alphas up for testing on Drupal.org. It's not a module... it's a desktop application that brings the power of Drush to the Window's, Mac, or Linux environments with a graphical user interface.

The challenge has been Windows, so that's what I tackled first. And that means that the first releases will actually be Windows only, but support for Linux and Mac will be trivial. So what are the features?

  • Easy to install, just run the setup file
  • Easy to configure, just type in your remote connection's settings
  • Supports and saves multiple connections, no need for tricky "Drush Alias" files
  • Local Drush installation is NOT required
  • Works with Drush 3.3 and any version of Drupal
  • Run Cron, re-index your search, check status, download/enable modules, update your site, export your database, run bootstrapped PHP scripts, and more coming soon!
  • 100% open source based on Flex 4.1 SDK

I apologize for all the bolding in this post, I'm just excited. Screen shots should be up within a few days. Once this thing is on Drupal.org, I hope I can get some contributors to add features.
