I like the idea of being able to develop websites online, using your browser, without having to install a development tool like Eclipse. And Codio seems to be a step in that direction.
PROs
- your files are stored in the cloud under your account - less worries about losing them
- in a way, this is free hosting and about 1 GB of file storage, if you don't mind a domain named https://codio.io/yourUserName/yourProjectName/master/index.html
- works great with Angular JS as far as my testing was concerned https://codio.io/nathanweisz/Inventory-Management/master/index.html
CONs
- doesn't play nice with Bootstrap (I even made sure all the .js scripts on the html file were disabled and uploaded my own and bootstrap.js file)
- doesn't recognize icon html formatting
- doesn't play well with Parse
- don't like that I lose the top menu when too many folders in the left panel are open (workaround: just close some of the folders till you see the top menu again, or click on the Codio icon and work your way back to your project.
I know, it is still in Beta, and I'm probably being too demanding at this point. I will try to play with it some more and see if I can get a back-end to work. If that happens, then Codio for me is golden.
