About Brackets

With focused visual tools and preprocessor support, Brackets is a modern text editor that makes it easy to design in the browser. It's crafted from the ground up for web designers and front-end developers. Brackets is a lightweight, yet powerful, modern text editor. We blend visual tools into the editor so you get the right amount of help when you want it without getting in the way of your creative process. You'll enjoy writing code in Brackets. Brackets is an open-source project, supported by an active and passionate community. It's made by other web developers like you! Instead of jumping between file tabs, Brackets lets you open a window into the code you care about most. Want to work on the CSS that applies to a specific ID? Put your mouse cursor on that ID, push Command / Ctrl+E and Brackets will show you all the CSS selectors with that ID in an inline window so you can work on your code side-by-side without any popups.

Firepad
Firepad
Firepad is an open source real-time collaborative text editor. It provides true collaborative editing, complete with intelligent operational transform-based merging and conflict resolution. Firepad can render documents using the CodeMirror, Ace, or Monaco editors, and its operational transform code borrows from ot.js. Behind the scenes, Firepad uses the Firebase Realtime Database for cloud data storage and synchronization. You can build any application that requires collaborative editing of text documents. Firepad supports both rich text and code editing out-of-the-box, and it's easy to extend for other use cases. Firepad was built by Michael Lehenbauer and the team at Firebase. There are many other features that could be added, please star Firepad on GitHub and send over a pull request when you have things to contribute! You can build any application that requires collaborative editing of text documents.

Atom
Atom
(3 Ratings)
Atom is a hackable text editor for the 21st century, built on Electron, and based on everything we love about our favorite editors. We designed it to be deeply customizable, but still approachable using the default configuration. A text editor is at the core of a developer’s toolbox, but it doesn't usually work alone. Work with Git and GitHub directly from Atom with the GitHub package. Create new branches, stage and commit, push and pull, resolve merge conflicts, view pull requests and more—all from within your editor. The GitHub package is already bundled with Atom, so you're ready to go! Atom works across operating systems. Use it on OS X, Windows, or Linux. Search for and install new packages or create your own right from Atom. Atom helps you write code faster with a smart and flexible autocomplete. Easily browse and open a single file, a whole project, or multiple projects in one window.

A sophisticated text editor for code, markup and prose. Use Goto Anything to open files with only a few keystrokes, and instantly jump to symbols, lines or words.

The Command Palette holds infrequently used functionality, like sorting, changing the syntax and changing the indentation settings. With just a few keystrokes, you can search for what you want, without ever having to navigate through the menus or remember obscure key bindings. Sublime Text has a powerful, Python API that allows plugins to augment built-in functionality. Package Control can be installed via the command palette, providing simple access to thousands of packages built by the community.

    "Ideal for Web Development and Front-End Coding"

    Posted 2024-01-19

    Pros: With the help of Brackets' live preview tool, developers can observe updates to HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in real time. Testing is sped up and front-end development made easier with this live preview capability.

    Cons: Brackets is a good tool for web programming, although its language support might not be as extensive as that of more complete integrated development environments (IDEs). Other technologies could be more adaptable for developers who work with a variety of languages.

    Overall: Brackets is a text editor that is lightweight and targeted towards front-end web development. Web developers working with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript will find it to be a great option due to its preprocessor support, live preview, and inline editing features.
