From MacUpdate: (4 1/2 stars)

"It's a godsend...Nothing else I've seen offers the kind of bridge this program does for some very specific gaps...from my experience, support is first rate."

"Used this program a lot...one of the best products I've used in a long time--it more fills the niche for GUI mac user who needs to extract and compile text, data, etc. from files, web searches, etc... It's like a Swiss army knife for that sort of thing."

"Oh my God. I love it! Very handy if you have to filter out specific information from websites. Works great!"


From the e-mails:

"I've used it a little under 10.3.8 and really like it. I have been writing a few AppleScripts to do some HTML data mining and that's a pain in the butt. Anthracite has proven much simpler to do some local file parsing and data-grabbing from the web."

"your program is really powerful and I'll use it to extract data from text files, instead of losing time with Excel and formulas or RealBasic."

"great product! the answer to my prayers! managed to gather all data from the source site."

"I work for a research company investigating financial fraud and I've been trying to come up with a way of accessing proprietary databases without having to do so much pointing and clicking from a web browser. I'm just thrilled that you've released this program. I've been looking for something integrated together like this for years. So thanks!"

"A joy to use."

"Fascinating program!"

"It just looks to be a killer app."

"You're really onto a very good app here."

"I just stumbled across Anthracite and I have to say, it looks pretty cool."

"Anthracite really rocks"


On the Blogs:

veraperez.com: "I had Anthracite doing a 10,000-record run which I expected to last most of the evening...Anthracite running a harvest on a folder with about 400 MB of data...[even running many apps trying to crash the system,] with all this excitement, the Finder never got to really crash. Anthracite did not crash either, it just kept working slowly."

Nothing Up My Sleeve by Gordon Meyer (author of O'Reilly's "Smart Home Hacks" title): "For example, without even reading the documentation (gasp), I set up a 'bot that gets the current Amazon Sales Rank for Smart Home Hacks and appends it to a text file, along with the date and time. It was dead simple to set up, and took considerably less time than it would to write a Python or AppleScript that did the same thing."

MacResearch.org: "When a Mac user finds himself/herself in need of a simple interface to complex technologies they can often turn to the innovative Mac development community, and in this case a small company called Metafy answers the call in the form of a software packaged named Anthracite. [...] the principles demonstrated could easily be adapted to almost any scientific web mining application. Although Anthracite isn't free, it's really the only application of its kind on the Mac platform"

O'Reilly ONLamp Blog:OSCON Day 3 (by Brian D Foy of The Perl Review and Stonehenge Consulting): "Forget about code as words. Drag and drop the date processors into place and get on with like. It looks a lot like Anthracite from Metafy, and I already know that is cool."

grockwel Research Notes: "Looks neat."

Pesos Per Diem: "Nifty Tool for Mac"
