browsedit is a web application for designing web pages/web user interfaces directly on the browser. Currently supports firefox, chrome and safari browsers with other browser support coming soon.
I have absolutely no idea what it is or how to use it. It's a web page editor right?<p>I clicked on the image of a web site on the landing page which loaded what looks like a designer/editor, but clicking around and trying to type things (assuming its an editor) had no result. I 'added a page' or something, but this just confused me even more: now there's the text 'this is just an example page' and I've no idea if I'm supposed to edit it, or what (but I can't anyway so forget it). I looked into the DOM tree to find a text area or <i>anything</i> I could use to interact, but no luck.<p>I tried, honestly.
Very cool. It'd maybe be nicer with a double pane layout, with the code and the preview side by side, using a key combination to reload the preview.<p>Still, you'd have trouble convincing me to give up my favorite editor, browser, and alt+tab,F5. Might be good for ChromeOS users, though.
It seems pretty cool, but I broke it, so I assume you'll want to know how. :)<p>I added a new page named butt.html (I usually pick a random word when I don't care what I'm doing with it. I would have just pretended that it was test.html but you might have logs somewhere to help you track errors so I'm being honest.) I went back to the first page that shows (demo.html, I think) and went to code view. I then changed the href of the anchor tag surrounding the logo to butt.html and when I went back to the design mode and clicked the logo it attempted to take me to browsedit.com/butt.html. When I clicked back, only butt.html was in the editor.<p>Hope that helps. Really great progress so far.
why is this better than a dedicated editor like coda? or even notepad with firefox split screened. if i have to click anyway, might as well be clicking reload.
