I'm curious about the intended audience for this product: people working professionally in this area are likely to have a predefined workflow that's going to be difficult to fit this into be that: it's 'just not VIM'; it being outside of version control and/or build systems; or any number of other reasons (both with objective and subjective merit).<p>Is the audience not these professional people? Is it aimed more at the shallower end of the learning curve?

One small issue with the site, that may improve your uptake: The slider moves pretty fast and there is a lot of text to read on each slide. If you could include a pause button on the slider, or even do away with it completely it would probably improve the useability of the site. Looks like a great tool, good luck with it!

I'm curious what value this really offers over existing suites like Dreamweaver and Coda that already offer live preview and site integration. On the flip side, it also doesn't seem to appeal to the vanilla crowd that prefers vim + some file-watching reloader or CI tool.<p>Not to say it doesn't look neat, I'm just honestly having trouble finding the differentiating factor.

Great effort put into this but if you going to be editing source code, do it in your text editor. If you want a 'live' view of your changes use something like <a href="http://livereload.com/" rel="nofollow">http://livereload.com/</a><p>livereload doesn't just refresh the page, it also updates css/js on the fly also through ajax without any lag.

Technically speaking: Very very cool and impressive. Especially the real-time editing.<p>On the flip side, it is styled very much to mimic Chrome's own editor. And that makes me wonder. When or why would I use this over what is already built into Chrome?

Hi, I'm the developer/founder. Please ask me anything you like about the application. NB: I'm in Melbourne, Australia, so I'll likely be offline in about 5-6 hours!

Does the code editor support iOS? I love to use pixelJET on my iPad for quick changes.

you can use <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firefile/" rel="nofollow">https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firefile/</a> instead
