I really would like to embedded atom as an online code editor... it seems like a no brainer given that its written in Javascript. But it seems there's no project to do this (hope I'm wrong!)
FWIW, I could never find any indication of an interest in this on the atom.io site, and googling "embed atom" and the like produce a lot of pages about Intels Atom CPU.
- accommodavid 11y agojust because it's all javascript, doesn't mean you can "just" make a web client. electron, the shell atom is built on, has a lot of functions that are tied directly to the operating system and atom relies heavily on them. it also has a module system that allows you to do require() in front end javascript without needing to bundle anything. it would definitely be an interesting project, though.

- mchahn 11y agoAtom uses node so there is no hope of running it in a browser. An atom forum thread: https://discuss.atom.io/t/running-atom-in-the-browser/8925 https://discuss.atom.io/t/running-atom-in-the-browser/8925
