So many basic features requests immediately come to mind though that I wonder if making the source code public is in the plans. Features such as turning on overwrite mode so you don't have to keep count of how many bytes you inserted; searching for UTF-16 strings; editing resource forks; specifying the position - byte amount - by a hexadecimal number in the Move Selection dialogs; or simply increasing the font size.

Doesn't work so well when you're perusing your history or want to bookmark it. The program looks yummy, though. I look forward to 1.0.1. The Hex Fiend index page has a title of simply “index”.
