very short use of swift browser and …
I read about the safari browser for mac. Since I do not have a mac, I am trying now Swift (which uses Apples Rendering Engine WebKit).

First experience: I could not download swift from the swift site:

Ok, the web is big and I found version 0.2 somewhere else.

I installed swift and then wanted to mail developers about the broken download link.
I went in swift to Help > About swift,
then I thought: click on www.getswift.org
and I am forwarded to a site where I am told:
“The domain getswift.com is for sale. To purchase, call…”

Probably I am not the only one, who has such problems with the websites, or?

Well, I closed this tab then and my about-tab is not presented correct:

Nevertheless I will use swift a little more and see what else will happen.
But as you know the first impressions are the important ones.

I will email now the developers and tell them about this (my good deed for today). And if wanted, I can provide then a bug report (this is not the intention of this post)

edit:
I emailed developer Chris and wanted to leave also a message on his blog. And found something else: swift does not offer to switch with the tabulator key to the second field. From usability point of view not nice.
