Wasn't Muse being discontinued??

[keithieweithie]

I was going to try to learn Dreamweaver, but here I am seeing that people are using and installing Muse as late as this past month!

What's going on? 

Thanks.

I just read this:

"This reply is to the question around whether there has been a change in our position about developing or supporting Adobe Muse. There has been no reconsideration on this front, and the recent update to Adobe Muse fixes some of the issues that you were likely to run into if you were on the latest version of Mac OS. Because we have committed to support Adobe XD until March 2020, this forum was moved from our old support platform to the current one.  You can continue discussing the product here, and reach out to us directly through this email ID dl-webpm1@adobe.com if you have any questions that cannot be addressed through your peers here."

Gee... this hasn't been confusing.

That means, Muse isn’t developed any more but can still be downloaded via CC Desktop App, if you have a full CC subscription.

Muse hasn't stopped working.  Many people use Muse to maintain old projects until they migrate to new software.   But Muse has no future.  Learning to work with code and Dreamweaver would be a real plus.  Don't give up on that.

I have no choice, really. I've started watching Dreamweaver tutes.

You always have a choice. Try Pinegrow for 7 days - it can use pretty well the code from Muse, exported as html. PG also lets you download the html from existing websites (if you cannot use Muse anymore for some resons for already existing websites) - it even lets you do some "easy" CMS for clients, if necessary. It is not Muse-like, though. No drag and drop and no free-design-websitebuilder but worth to test anyway. The learning curve might be the same, compared to Dw, but with no subscription anymore, at least for that one app. Like this you could do  tests and designs in Muse, export it as hml and keep on. But also XD is out there - it has a plugin to export as html as well (not the animations), Then you could use DW and PG with that code and keep on from that point.

Depending on the kind of business you run, there´s also "withoutcode" out there and "wappler" which need no coding at all. For Mac there´s "blocs for mac" (no subscription for the last one).

No choice?

Your choice.

Kind Regards,

DW is simple to use when you know code basics.  But if you know nothing about code, the learning curve is much steeper.  

Read the chapters, do code exercises and take quizzes at the end.
