Adobe launches Brackets v1.0, an open-source text editor
for
Web designers
Adobe has just released version 1.0 of Brackets, its free
open-source text editor that’s built in HTML, CSS and JavaScript, for coding
HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
Available for Windows, Mac and
Linux, Brackets is aimed at Web designers and developers, with focused features
like Live Preview to easily jump between browser view and source code for quick
edits, inline editors to work on specific bits of code without pop-ups or
additional tabs, and preprocessor support baked in. Users can also download and
use extensions to add functionality to aid their workflow, such as Git
integration and JSHint support.
This release also includes a
preview of Extract for Brackets, an extension that automatically pulls design
information from a PSD – such as colors, fonts, gradients, images and more –
and generates clean CSS.
Brackets started as an open-source
project over three years ago, and users who want to customize the text editor
to suit their specific needs can fork the source code from the app’s Github project page and modify it as they like, and
contribute their changes for others to use. The core team says that this
release is a major milestone, but there’s a long way to go in the quest to
create the perfect code editor.
