It’s confusing to call an app a web IDE, which usually denotes a web-based IDE you use in a web browser, not a locally running IDE for web development.

- p4bl0 2y agoI guess it's a web IDE in the sense that it is an IDE made for web development rather than a more general IDE (see supported languages for example).
- parallaxapps 2y agoYes, web development IDE is what we're getting at. We first built Inspect Browser, an iOS web browser with built-in dev tools, and figured an IDE for web development with Inspect Browser embedded would be a good next step. Now, getting PHP and NodeJS to run on device was quite the ordeal...
- layer8 2y agoYes, and it’s confusing to call that a “web IDE”, it’s not how that term is normally used and understood.
- parallaxapps 2y agoGood point! - web development IDE would be clearer
