browser based IDE's?

22.7k views Asked by At

Can you recommend a browser based IDE or programming editor ?

I feel like I've seen lots of these things drift past but when I look at my bookmarks I can only find two : http://cloud9ide.com/ and http://jsfiddle.net/

All languages are of interest (although non-JS particularly so).

I'd like to do a wide survey but don't include tools which are really just collaborative text editing - must be some sort of programming support built in (even if it's as bare bones as syntax colouring)

Thanks

Also I recommend you read this article: http://eclipse.dzone.com/news/who-needs-online-ide

It links and describes a lot of them, even more then those mentioned by others here.

edit: most of the ones describe in that article are dead.

Instead check out:

Full fledge IDEs:

And something you can run on your own server: ACE

Actually, it looks like all online full fledged IDEs that I could find actually uses ACE at its core, and just add some nicer GUI over it and cloud support.

I've been working on one for a while that you might find interesting if you are looking for something you can install on your own server.

http://abstractionbuilder.com

It's free to use and it currently features some file management on your server, as well as real-time document editing with a nice preview.

We've been building WIODE for some time now. Very stable release, easy install, and lots of features - [WIODE Browser Based IDE][1]

UPDATE: WIODE has been replaced with a new project - Codiad

shameless plug for our solution, PythonAnywhere, which lets you code and run python apps in a browser... we also offer hosting for web apps, and our web-based console is fully functional, includes Bash for using git/hg/mercurial, Dropbox integration.

You can also code in other languages, although we don't have interpreters for everything, and you can currently only host Python webapps...
