Sea Monkey will not open with Ventura MacOS on 10/27/22.

Thunderbird works fine for email but I am using the Composer portion of SeaMonkay for my web page. In true Apple fashion, right on que, has disabled yet another valuable application that I need. It worked on Monterey on my M1...

Appreciate the recommendation, but I've had my share of VMs, frankly, from my days as an IT manager at ATT. No doubt newer ones are better, but if I wanted to shell out more than I decided to pay for BBEdit, I'd just go for a Dreamweaver subscription. As it is, I'm willing to wait and see if the SeaMonkey folks get their act together.

I do wish to apologize for being so aggressive with my response. I had just cone from another thread in which the user actually said they expected a personal phone call from Apple to advise them that SeaMonkey would not work with Ventura and to hold off installing. Yes, that user really said that.

BbEdit does not appear to me to be anything like Composer. There are apps on the app store that are WYSIWYG but I have not tried them yet. If they are anything like iWeb, the site will end up being a monsterosity in terms of file sizes. Composer in SeaMonkey and Netscape and Komposer (also doesn’t work on M1/M2) made bare bones sites with WYSIWYG.

You're absolutely right about BBEDit, but I'm currently using it simply because I started creating web sites back when everything was text-based, so I'm comfortable with it, even though I'd rather than a decent WYSIWYG interface. If you or anyone else knows of an alternative to SeaMonkey Composer, I'd be interested in hearing about it. I mean, I could buy Dreamweaver, but with a subscription price of $30 a month I'd rather not. :-)

Firefox has unfortunately no composer! And that was the special thing about it, because with it you could edit your old html web pages well!

Not an alternative if you're using SeaMonkey as an HTML editor, though. BBEdit is OK, but no WYSIWYG interface.

The same problem!!

The rosetta2 doesn't work for this problem.

Interesting. That would be shame, since Composer is the only reason I use it.

Thanks. I will not be holding my breath. Meanwhile, BBEdit picked up another paying customer. :-) Not an ideal replacement, but I'm getting used to it.

Yeah. Except for SeaMonkey, I have found the Ventura release refreshingly trouble-free. And some of the new features (esp. Stage Manager) are very useful, once you get used to how they work.

Any suggestions for software similar to Composer for web page development?
