Web-based IDEs Edge Closer To the Mainstream

Posted by timothy on from the hope-your-connection-is-reliable dept.

snitch writes "Last week Mozilla released Bespin, their web-based framework for code editing, and only a few days later Boris Bokowski and Simon Kaegi implemented an Eclipse-based Bespin server using headless Eclipse plug-ins. With the presentation of the web-based Eclipse workbench at EclipseCon and the release of products like Heroku, a web-based IDE and hosting environment for RoR apps, it seems that web-based IDEs might soon become mainstream."

  1. Soil cleaner by BadAnalogyGuy · · Score: 5, Funny

    I had this great idea for a product. It would clean the soil in your yard. The soil itself would be clean soil after using the product. In other words, even if you rolled around in it and got the soil all over you, you would still be clean.

    Strangely, it was a solution to a problem that no one had. It figures that I shouldn't get my product ideas from Bill & Ted

    I have stopped using my local Notepad. I use a web based Notepad these days.
    It totally rocks.
    Planning to try a web based browser next so that I can uninstall Firefox from my machine.
