Introducing pixelJET: a live-coding IDE for HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (opens in new tab)

Hi, thanks for the comment about the editing. The main problem this solves is that the Chrome Dev Tools/Firebug don't save your changes back to your source code. For people who do alot of front end development, they code some adjustments (sometimes many at once) but then have to 'recode' those adjustments in their css file. This is error prone and slow, and sometimes this has to be done dozens of times per day!

That's something we're still trying to work out ourselves. As for professionals, the aim is to replicate a certain existing workflow, but move it to the web. That workflow is design file > HTML template > ??? (cms template, etc.)

A lot of people just use a text editor, their browser and firebug, so we want to serve those people but with a much faster and streamlined experience.

Thanks, we'll increase the timeout. Clicking a menu item on the slider will stop it from moving :)

It might not sound like much, but the differentiating factor is pretty much that it's all inside the browser. You get a professional live coding setup, and instant hosting environment, and all you need is a browser. You can access it anywhere; don't need to set anything up to use it; and it's the same setup on any computer or device you happen to be using.

Right now, web development is carried out with an array of disparate tools which vaguely connect to each other, if at all, plus you have to know how to set them up. pixelJET is not trying do anything new, or anything that can't be done by some existing combination of tools, but it brings them all together in an easy to use package, available anywhere in the world, on any browser.

Thanks. We have a text editor though; not sure if you saw it. If can operate from a separate window, and it hotswaps all the HTML/CSS/JavaScript you code, without any lag.

Our code editor is actually the open source "Ace editor" (http://ace.ajax.org).

Of course, not everybody wants to code inside their browser, and that's fine. For those that do, we aim to make pixelJET the best way to do that.

That's definitely the sort of vision we have for the product.

Full iPad support is not ready yet but should be coming soon.

A bug is currently preventing the code editor from loading on the iPad browser. Quickfire (the panel down the bottom, that replaces the browser debugger) will load fine, but the interface is slightly awkward to use because it is not touch optimised yet.

Thanks!
