How would I use it? I wouldn't. I have my editor in the cloud. I log into my remote server via a terminal and I fire up Vim. ;) There are plenty of people who have tried the editor in the cloud thing, nobody seems to have been able to build anything which has stuck. Meanwhile, Vim and Emacs are still going strong and perhaps the best editors available. It would be tough to create something which could provide an alternative to something so versatile and has had years of community add-ons and improvements being made.
- michaelbuckbee 16y agoI think you're right about the versatility aspects. If a cloud editor is going to grow I think it's going to come out of somewhere like Heroku. Where it exists in one "opinionated" niche and can be customized specifically to work with that environment.
- gexla 16y agoInteresting you mention Heroku as they first started out with a Rails editor. That seemed to be one of their big features aside from hosting Rails applications.
