Create an FTP client that sits in your finder as a distinctly colored OS X window and behaves like a finder window that you can drag and drop to for downloading/uploading/editing with animated icons to show upload/download status and shows up in your open/save dialog boxes in any application.

That will be an application thats workflow-altering.

That’s why we’re moving toward expanding the private beta. We announced Flow way early — in February, and we had only started working on it in October of the previous year. Trust me, we’re aware that in the eyes of public, we should be shipping, but in terms of the actual development cycle, we’re perfectly on track. We own up to that mistake.

Also, with all this talk about Panic apps I feel I should mention Coda too. It does server side editing and integrates FTP and text editing in a sweet package that is actually shipping.

That being said, more competition is always good for the consumer, so I’ll definitely check it out when it’s available.

I’m not sure it was properly explained, but Flow’s featurepoint isn’t “having lots of connections.”

It’s being the first client that was actually designed from the ground up for what people use it for. It’s all about User interface and User Experience, areas things like Transmit aren’t impressing people with. If Transmit works for you, terrific. But the industry is screaming for a client that actually focuses on these things, and until now, their needs have not been met.
