This will be really nice for WordPress development, since you bork the whole backend whenever you break some of the core files, such as functions.php (which can be done simply by forgetting a semicolon). Using this should be much easier than logging into cPanel and much more portable than using FTP. Cool beans.


I like all the progress I've seen in web based editors over the years. However, one feature I use a lot in my IDE but have not seen in any web-based editor is code completion. When that gets implemented well, then it will be hard to resist using something this.


It comes with code completion for JavaScript, just hit CTRL+space. Will look at completion for CSS and HTML soon.


Is it possible to have emacs controls in this?

That is one of the only things preventing me from using it.


It's possible as the editor portion is CodeMirror and an Emacs mode with loosely correct keybindings is available.

Will look into this and Vim setups soon.


The demo is painfully close to working within mobile safari on an unjailbroken iPad 2.

So close...so very, very close!


Cool to hear it almost works on Safari and an iPad. I haven't tried on that kind of setup.

Could you let me know what isn't right, may be able to fix.


A little off-topic, but how did you generate/get the loading animation on the demo page? Looks very neat!
