How is a random developer page offering an app download any better?
Is there an alternate process you would suggest?
It'd be more traditional to release binaries separately, maybe using the following: https://github.com/blog/1547-release-your-software
Because if it's the latter, that doesn't really prove anything. Patents are to protect technologies/inventions that are far easier to produce after invention than before. That's the good part of a patent, when the patent system works as designed.
If it's a demonstration of prior art though, that's pretty cool - it might help to make it more obvious, though.
Why can't it just be a useful tool? I'm looking forward to using it while writing project documentation and will be working on editor plugins using the JSON formatted output (https://github.com/stephencelis/syn/commit/d2d36473f7295c6cf...).
No patent. iA took that back. One wasn't possible anyway -- not only this is 90% Apple's API, but even the UI implementation of this particular feature was already shown by Apple in WWDC 2011.

And SDK documentation:

That aside, this is pretty cool. I'm not sure if I'd ever use it, but it would be cool to see a vim plugin that offers similar functionality.

I'm also be wanting a Sublime plugin, preferably one that can cycle the selection through tagged words and allow editing. I started hacking one out last night, but got stuck on the complexity of the plugin architecture. I'll update this if I ever get something working.
