So, what's ICEcoder?

ICEcoder is a browser based code editor, which provides a modern approach to building websites. By allowing you to code directly within the web browser, online or offline, it means you only need one program (your browser) to develop sites, plus can test on actual web servers. After development, you can also maintain the website easily, all of which make for speedy and smart development.

Because it can be web based you can use it from any internet enabled computer with a modern browser and because it's built with commom web languages, you can customise it to your liking, integrating with online services. If you'd like to use it as a desktop code editor, no problems, you only need PHP 7.0+, so you can use on Linux and on PC via WAMP or XAMPP and Mac via MAMP (or another PHP installation).

Code editor features

While it looks simplistic on the surface, ICEcoder packs a whole load of features and plugins to make coding slick & efficient. Some of the best include:





Use online or locally

Use it online from wherever you are, but it also runs under localhost too as a desktop based solution.

Multiple cursors

Create multiple cursors and make text changes to affect all of them simultaneously.

Themes

25+ highlighting themes come as standard but you can easily make your own with a CSS file.

Find & replace builder

Find and replace can be applied to the current or all open documents, plus filenames & files.

Login secured

ICEcoder can be setup wherever you wish and is login secured to help keep your files safe. It's multi user too!

Type boosters

Plenty of coding assist is available such as Emmet, close tag completion and tag wrappers.

Visual code diff

Have code differences between 2 sets shown visually, including in-line highlighting of changes.

Code Hints

Your JavaScript code is linted with JS Hint as you type to ensure good coding practises.

Database management

Database management is easy with the Adminer plugin. It's like phpMyAdmin, but better.
