Phoenix Code is an open-source project that provides desktop builds of the Phoenix Code Editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It brings the web-focused editing experience of Phoenix into a locally installed application. The editor is designed to simplify coding through an intuitive, lightweight interface that emphasizes accessibility and productivity. It focuses primarily on web development, with dedicated support for HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Users can work with local projects, edit source files, and use development tools such as syntax highlighting, code completion, and live previews. Phoenix also supports extensions compatible with much of the Brackets ecosystem, allowing users to customize their workflow. The desktop project uses a Tauri-based application shell and provides a platform for integrating the editor with native operating system capabilities.
