I use VS Code, the autocorrect makes writing HTML a lot more convenient since it automatically creates closing tags, and the color scheme makes me feel like a hacker lol.

Vim/EDIT.COM/Notepad (not Notepad++), depending on current OS. Sometimes also Gedit, but not as often.
Then I just do FTP to get them to server lol

Usually VSCodium with the Live Preview extension so I can see my changes instantly. I'll occasionally use Notepad3 (a lightweight graphical text editor) for quick edits, as VSCodium takes a while to open and has a clunkier UI.
Sometimes I just use Neocities' web editor when I can't bother to download my site or to edit files locally and then upload them.

I'm a longtime acolyte of the Church of Emacs.

RMS might be a dick, but the virtual Lisp machine he helped build is a better editor than many give it credit for being.

(PS: vi/vim/neovim are fine, too.)

SSHing straight into my VPS server and using vim or nvim, currently. I'm planning to maybe set up another automated system with rsync, since the 32b cafe gitea runner seems to be completely broken down at this point.

My current landing page was created with Serif WebPlus. I played around with it, and you can see the result over on my selfhosted side. (https://loebas.boykisser.nl).
I like this editor more than frontpage.

For manual coding i use VSCodium (VScode sans telemetry).

I use VSCode although I don't know how 99% of the extensions and shit work tbh. I wanna figure it out at some point but most of it seems irrelevant to what I do so I haven't really gotten around to it. just the other day nekoweb (where my site is hosted) dropped a beta VScode editor that lets you code your nekoweb site in your browser. it'll stop being free once the final version drops but i messed around with it a little bit and it looks cool.

I mostly use VScode since it's I find it simple to use, and understand. Granted like sejedensekh I don't know what the majority of extensions do I only use the live server one so I can check on my site, and see any changes I need to make.  :happy:

I also use the neocities code editor, but only for small tweaks, or adding something new like an animation on the animation tab, or artwork on my gallery. I find the fact that I need to keep updating my site to see any changes, and have my site show up on the recently updated tab to be pretty annoying, and the last thing I want is for anybody to check out something I'm not close to finish with yet  :tongue:

a lot like SkyKristal i cannot stand vs code. i know people like it for a reason but the only feature i've enjoyed is the ability to open a whole directory. i'm more of a lightweight text editor guy, which is why i use geany!

i also really prefer to use stuff that's open source, so geany's even better of an option. to actually get my site up i use the neocities CLI -- normally the extent of the edits im doing are just in the long gone legends section, and i have a script i run for that. if i'm doing anything else i just manually run a neocities command

right now i'm using firefox just because i only recently switched operating systems (windows to artix) and i don't want to use librewolf again. i have tor installed but it's a lot for everyday browsing. geany lets you use F5 to live preview code, though, so it's really nice to just be able to pop open the HTML in firefox and preview it! i have my neocities on a microsd so if i ever need to edit on the go i should be good to go, but i definitely want to make a local backup.

For now, I had been using Notepad ++ on PC since I cannot comfortably do any website building on a mobile phone without a bluetooth keyboard and I already feel a bit antsy about getting one after losing a tablet that I might of felt like I threw away on accident... I'm still very hurt by my air-headed mistake. I mainly use NP++ because I use a few add-ons like HTML preview albeit badly outdated with IE9 used to preview said documents. But the one that I wish was openly available on other applications and I'm willing to try if its there - is connectivity to CodeStats.
I find it a bit weird to admit this but I always found it fascinating to see how much work I do on HTML, CSS, or even just text documents that are related to website building. I had some experience tacked on for text since I made a list of how I want the site to look internally. It also helps when I get around to doing a site map page when it comes to that point.

https://htmledit.squarefree.com/ This website. I need to see how what I'm doing is changing the website's appearance in real time, this is very important to me, especially as a way to learn. But having lots of browser tabs open and constantly copy-pasting the code from neocities over to this and then from this back over to neocities tends to end up eventually disorienting me into practically clicking all of my tabs at random when trying to get to a specific one, which is annoying.

I hand-code most of the sites I have, and these are/were what I use:

Current:

  • MATE Pluma, GTK+ 2 version (with modded color scheme and modded GTK2 widget theme) when I'm on GUI
  • ViM, when I'm on TUI (local or remote notwithstanding)

All these are run on my 32-bit GNU/Linux system. And of course, as I use libre setup and still have self respect, I do not use contemporary Micro$oft stuff like Visual Studio Code-- for all I know, such thing could have been automatically siphoning your work into their Copi(a)lot code-laundering disservice in the background.

I haven't learned to use GNU Emacs yet, that's still on my TODO list.



Past:


These were what I used back in the age I used Windows Me and Windows XP, long, long ago. The first editor I have ever used for creating/editing webpage was of course, Notepad; but I no longer use it as soon as I started getting serious about this, as it had neither auto-indent nor multi-level undo/redo-- which have been bare-minimum requirements for any editor I would seriously use.
