PageSpinner was a semi-WYSIWYGHTML editor for Macintosh operating systems. It was originally released forClassic Mac OS but was ported to OS X shortly after that operating system's release. It was developed byOptima Systems in Sweden and released asshareware.[1] PageSpinner isWorldScript compliant and uses theWASTE text engine and theCarbon library.
Version 1.0 of PageSpinner was available as shareware with the paid version costing $25 in 1996.[1] It was noted for its popularity withinNASA in 1998 as a part of the NASAlib shareware/freeware library.[2]
Version 4.0, released in 2002, introducedmultiple undo, double-byte input support, andscroll wheel support on Mac OS X. Version 4.6.3 was deemed "quirky and erratic" in 2006 by the reviewer forAbout This Particular Macintosh.
Version 5 was released in 2010 and reviewed byMacWorld UK, which faulted its appearance for being dated, and found its price to be high for the features it provided, but the reviewer was impressed with its multiple site support and integration withApache, OS X's standard web server.
