24 alternatives to Awesome Code Editor

Hey HN! I built ACE, a WordPress code editor that brings VS Code's Monaco editor into the WordPress admin dashboard. The interesting part: it actually parses your WordPress installation to understand your custom post types, ACF fields, and taxonomies. When you're writing code, it can insert context-aware snippets with your actual field names already populated - so instead of looking up "what did I call that custom field again?", you just select it from the inserter. WordPress's default code editor is pretty bare-bones, and constantly switching between an external IDE and the admin panel for…

    Hey folks, I would like to show you a new WordPress plugin and ask you for your opinion. The plugin allows you to find large files in your WordPress installation. This is useful, for example, when hard disk space is running low or backups are becoming too large or taking too long. If you like it, I am happy to get a rating on wordpress.org. I am thankful for any review / comment! Thanks, Marcel

    Inspired by the design and UI/UX of apps like Notion, and utility of open-source apps like StackEdit, I decided to create a minimalistic, local-only WYSIWYG Markdown editor. Some features worth highlighting: - Monaco editor and Prettier integration for code snippets - Tables (apparently the holy grail of WYSIWYG editing) - Embeds (for CodePen, CodeSandbox and YouTube, most useful for HTML or JSON exports) - Accepts Markdown paste-in, and "exports"/generates HTML, Markdown and JSON outputs - Collaboration (with real-time awareness and initial commenting system, available only when…

    I'm excited to introduce my own developed Markdown editor to everyone. It's built on the Monaco editor and designed specifically for developers. This editor integrates various features such as document management, resource management, and MDX extensions. You can embed images, audio, video, and even use plugins like drawing tools, calendars, and cards to showcase your creativity. What's even more thrilling is that it allows users to customize PostgreSQL table structures, insert and display data in Markdown documents, and even collect form submissions. My original intention in design was to…

    When the startup I was working for shut down, I knew it would probably be a while before my health allowed me to commit to a new role, so I decided to start working on some personal projects to keep my mind active and engaged. With AI-augmented VS Code forks being all the rage at the time, I wanted to take a slightly different angle on a code editor/viewer using the same core technology. That led me to building Tachi Code, a Monaco-based code editor that integrates directly into your browser as an extension to streamline your more ephemeral coding tasks, so you can spend less time…

    Hi HN community, Over the last six months, we’ve been building FlyCode, a product editing DevTool. We make it easy for team members to edit product copy in web and native apps’ code through FlyCode’s dashboard with auto-generated PRs instead of using a code editor. From the beginning, we built around the belief that codebase ownership should stay with developers and that tools should flexibly coexist with a codebase rather than dictate infra changes. The key shift for us was to identify ways to include non-technical teams as individual contributors in the development process. At FlyCode,…
