What do you use to code websites?

[nenrikido]

I don't think I've seen anyone mention VS Codium yet, but it's basically just VS Code for Microsoft haters. I use that, Hugo (static site generator), and Neocities CLI for my site.

[phexe]

Ive used a bunch over time but for some reason always find myself going back to brackets! i dont really have a good reason as for why but i just think its nice and clean.

I use GNU Emacs, but I don't hand-code HTML for every page. I have partials that I include in a pandoc template or in Markdown files, and I've written a bunch of shell scripts to build my site, which I call from a Makefile. I can push my site to my host by running "make install".

• A text editor that doesn't get in my way of coding (currently VS Codium)
• An Internet browser to preview websites and look up how that particular CSS style works again (currently Librewolf with DuckDuckGo)
• git to save and track my edits
• Plenty of time and patience

Daryl, did you know about MDN Web Docs? Mozilla maintains them, they have a section for CSS, and I keep it open at my day job too.

Incidentally, my setup is similar to yours except I have a different editor and add liberal amounts of profanity.

i use the built in neocities editor for html mostly and for css i use the extension stylus (don't get it mixed up with stylish btw that one collects your data) to edit because it lets me preview it on my site really easily without making me have to hard refresh to see the changes and make sure they're right

I did know about MDN Web Docs, but erm, I never thought of bookmarking it until now. Fixed!

Pfff!

I've been coding just in the neocities editor, but i was interested in jumping into vs code since i've used it before in the past.
Unfortunately.... my site just doesn't load from my hard drive so I think I have to keep coding in the neocities editor :')

Edit: I figured it out! VS Code is a lot nicer than neocities built in code editor owo

I lost too many things in the past because I wrote in the browser editor and when I pressed 'send' the internet or the session gave up and I lost everything so no more serious writing in the browser editor for me. 

I use vscode or visual studio depending on the project.

Even though the project has been sunsetted, I still use Atom as my main code editor. I find it comfortable and I do not have any issues with it.

Aside from Atom, I sometimes use Notepad++ for editing more obscure files (or as a secondary editor along with Atom) and Visual Studio Code whenever I want to test something in JavaScript with Node enabled.

For my Neocities site I honestly just use the builtin editor 90% of the time, although I don't update it much these days. I used to edit the files for my main site in Emacs via Tramp(lets you access stuff via SSH), but these days I do just about everything in GNU Nano. I'm 90% sure all of comics.marigold.town was built in it lol.

BTW, to all the folks mentioning cache issues: Keep devtools open! Both Firefox and Chrome have options to disable the cache while devtools are open!! It's in the network tab!!!! It's a lifesaver!!!!!!

I've used Frontpage Express for editing my website over on neocities. My website is sadly a little plain, but i like to change that in the foreseeable future.

Frontpage express is i WYSIWYG editor which also comes with a source editor. I'm not sure where i found the installer, but i am sure you will find it over on the internet archive.

i used to use notepad, but now i use vscode

I use the plain old windows notepad    reliable and easy to use.

Currently I use TextMate on Mac. On Linux I used Notepad++ with Wine.
