Let’s talk about the top online code editors for web development.

CodePen

CodePen is an online community for testing and showcasing user-created HTML, CSS and JavaScript code snippets. It functions as an online code editor and open-source learning environment, where developers can create code snippets, called “pens,” and test them. It is like a social development environment for front-end designers and developers. Build and deploy a website, show off your work, build test cases to learn and debug, and find inspiration.

Codeanywhere

Codeanywhere is a cross-platform cloud integrated development environment created by Codeanywhere, Inc. Codeanywhere enables users to instantly write, edit, collaborate and run web development projects from a web browser and any mobile device.

StackBlitz

StackBlitz is an online IDE where you can create Angular & React projects that are immediately online & shareable via the link, in just one click. It automatically takes care of installing dependencies, compiling, bundling, and hot reloading as you type. StackBlitz is a tool in the Cloud IDE category of a tech stack. It’s my personal favourite.

JSFiddle

JSFiddle is an online IDE service and online community for testing and showcasing user-created and collaboration HTML, CSS and JavaScript code snippets, known as ‘fiddles’. It allows for simulated AJAX calls. In 2019, JSFiddle was ranked the second most popular online IDE by the Popularity of Programming Language (PYPL) index based on the number of times it was searched, directly behind Cloud9 IDE, worldwide and in the USA.
