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…

What it does

Edit and manage your WordPress code right from the dashboard. ACE is the smart, site-aware code editor built for developers who want to work faster.

A powerful code editor right inside your WordPress dashboard. We built ACE because switching between your code editor, FTP, and the WordPress admin just to tweak a file felt like too much work. So we brought a modern, powerful code editor right into the dashboard . Now you can edit files, manage folders, and stay in the flow, all without leaving WordPress. What makes ACE special is that it actually understands your WordPress setup. It knows your custom post types , ACF fields, taxonomies, and more, and uses that info to help you write better code, faster. With the smart snippet tool, you can insert pre-filled, ready-to-go code that’s tailored to your site. Once you start using ACE, it's…from aceplugin.com

    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

    Use your familiar Markdown editor to create and publish web pages2023 · amarkdown.com · ▲62

    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, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • Community, All the HN belong to you. This is an archive of hacker news that fits in your browser. When I made HN Made of Primes I realized I could probably do this offline sqlite/wasm thing with the whole GBs of archive. The whole dataset. So I tried it, and this is it.
