What do you use to code websites?

I use VSCodium! VSCode without the MS telemetry / Copilot bloat! I know there are a few handy extensions that aren't available on VSCodium, but I way prefer it over VSCode.

I used Phoenix code, been using that since when it first came out as brackets and had been funded by Adobe. I really like it, personally.

Before that I used sublime text and atom on occasion.

Used to use Atom before Microsoft/GitHub sunset it… Now I use VSCode. I've been meaning to switch to VSCodium, but I've been having convenience-induced laziness despite the Microsoft Telemetry and AI-Chatbot-Coding bloat.

I used to use WordPress for content management, but the plugin bloat and over-complicatedness of adding new content to my site made me switch to 11ty, where I just have to HTML/CSS/JS-up support for content types, and then adding new pages, posts, and art to my site is as easy as adding Markdown or Nunjucks files with YAML metadata. Love it.

I copy-paste most of my html.

VSCode, and I push the updates from that using git to my live site ^^ I just like to work offline without affecting the code of my actual site

I used to just code directly in nekoweb's files, and then i used their online VSCode clone called Nekode, but when that stopped working on my browser and I wanted to rework my whole site anyways, I use the method above now ^^b

Edit: I'll consider switching to VSCodium I think :0 the copilot stuff annoys me anyways

i've been using phoenix code recently. it offers a live preview plugin which helps me a lot - refreshing constantly is annoying!  i'll be moving to linux soon, so it's nice to know it has a linux version too. it's very clean, you can have multiple files open at once and switch between them easily while retaining the live view.

I use Notepad++ for all of my coding needs!!! It's lightweight and doesn't use up a ton of memory. Before I moved all of my coding files to local storage, I used Neocities's code editior since that was where my sites were hosted before I moved to Teacake!

I know this thread isn't about languages, but my choices don't make sense if I don't explain my workflow a little bit.
So, I've mostly been using a mixture of VSCode & Obsidian. Obsidian makes sense since I'm using Hugo to turn markdown files into webpages, and though I've also exported some pages on my site directly from Obsidian, I'm intending to replace them with pages that'll be easier to update thanks to Hugo. I will occasionally use external tools like a Markdown to HTML or HTML to Markdown converter when I need them.

Thank you for sharing!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had never heard of this and I am delighted, going to be replacing VSCode right away!

I was using VSCode but lately I've been trying out Zed. It has a very similar interface, good typescript integration, and is much more efficient.

Most importantly it has a "Disable all AI" button!



I've also found using a Vite development server quite handy for the hot-reload. Makes it easier to iterate on layouts and fix bugs.

You are very welcome! VSCodium is awesome.
