What do you use to code websites?

For Redesigns of my websites or reworks of some parts of my website, I use VSCode. Otherwise, I just use the Nekoweb editor.

Until I recently rebuilt my website using notepad, I had actually used an old copy of Frontpage 2000 to put it together and get a proper 90s feel

For my website, I do it all in the Neocities editor. I know that's bad practice though so I've been meaning to download it and use Notepad++ for future edits, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. I do use Notepad++ for helping my mom with her website, and for any other projects

KWrite, mostly; sometimes Neovim, but I tend to keep a separation between prose writing and code writing.  I used to use VIM almost exclusively, but that's been changing over the last few years.

I use VSCodium, which is a version of VSCode without all the tracking and Microsoft-branded stuff.

For my coding and writing, I use Micro. It's a text editor that I can use in my terminal and for me, it's a good bridge between a word processor (what I was mostly used to) and a more "advanced" text editor like vim or Emacs. When I first started using Linux back in 2024, I usually used Nano if I wanted to edit files. I initially liked Nano, but realized that I couldn't use it to write posts for my website because it didn't have enough features. I used Obsidian for a while since a lot of my website's posts are written in markdown (I use Zola as my static site generator), but found Micro to be a better option so that I don't need to have two different programs open to publish a new post.

Nowadays, I do everything in my terminal with Micro and it's been great. I'm still not fully glued to my keyboard like I would be with vim or Emacs, which I appreciate at this point. Micro has more conventionally known keybindings (Ctrl-C to copy, Ctrl-V to paste, etc.) and it also has good cursor support. The plugin database is small, but it has everything I need. The only plugins I use regularly are aspell for grammar and the word counter plugin.

Whenever I make a post on my blog, I make the file in a separate 'blog-dev' folder that points to my site's blog folder, write my post, build the site with zola, cd to my site folder, and push with the Neocities CLI. When I'm done writing the post, all I need is one command:

Code

zola build; cd ~/site; neocities push .
