Programmers intersted in a text editing solution for the browser to edit local files

About Caret

Based on the amazing Ace editing component, Caret brings professional-strength text editing to Chrome OS. With Caret, you no longer need to install a second OS to get what other platforms take for granted: a serious editor for local files, aimed at working programmers. Caret offers syntax highlighting for a wide variety of languages, and all of the standard themes that come with Ace, including emulations of coloring from other editors like Eclipse, XCode, and the Chrome Dev Tools. Once you've gotten used to making many changes with just a keystroke or two, it's hard to go back to just one cursor. Caret offers multiple cursors and selections, and support for Sublime keybindings like Ctrl-D (select next match). Why bother learning keyboard shortcuts? With the command palette (Ctrl-Shift-P), you can just start typing what you want, Caret will fuzzy-search the menu configuration, find the command you want, and execute it for you. You never need to touch the mouse again.

If we're being honest, Mac apps are a bit of a lost art. There are great reasons to make cross-platform apps — to start, they're cross-platform — but it's just not who we are. Founded as a Mac software company in 1997, our joy at Panic comes from building things that feel truly, well, Mac-like. Long ago, we created Coda, an all-in-one Mac web editor that broke new ground. But when we started work on Nova, we looked at where the web was today, and where we needed to be. It was time for a fresh start. It all starts with our first-class text-editor. It's new, hyper-fast, and flexible, with all the features you want: smart autocomplete, multiple cursors, a Minimap, editor overscroll, tag pairs and brackets, and way, way more. For the curious, Nova has built-in support for CoffeeScript, CSS, Diff, ERB, Haml, HTML, INI, JavaScript, JSON, JSX, Less, Lua, Markdown, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, Sass, SCSS, Smarty, SQL, TSX, TypeScript, XML, and YAML.

    "Caret is amazing! Developers, This runs on Dell Chromebook 3100!"

    Posted 2024-04-01

    Pros: Everything about this application is good! where do I start? First, is that it runs on chromeOS and runs offline! second is that you can run almost any language, from windows INI to Pascal to SQLserver!

    Cons: Everything is good. only thing i would change is that the top bar doesn't change with the different themes.

    Overall: This product is 100% worth it!

    (I was not paid for this review. guarantee it is my own honest opinion!)
