So this just happened, a JSFiddle update. There’s no denying that this doesn’t happen very often, to be more precise visual changes aren’t happening that often.

I’m calling this a lifting for a reason, as opposed to many backend changes that happened over the years, this is a purely visual (or front-endish) one.

There were a few ideas we were working towards with this update:

Squeeze every inch out of the UI for more editing space Make the interface super-light Optimize loading and rendering speed

We’ve removed some whitespace that was useless in the previous interface, like the gap between editors that was there purely for the the drag handles, which are now there but visually take just a single pixel (not it really is a pixel wide — there’s a 10 pixel overlay so it’s easier to grab the handle).
