GNU/Linux Applications for Writing Webpages

Hagbard Celine · 2019-01-29 17:28
Hello Lain, (forgive me if this has been posted about already!) I also assume that λ isn't the right place to put this since HTML isn't really a programming language. For the past year or so, I've been trying my hand at web design by writing my own webpage. It's been really fun and almost therapeutic. So far I've done everything in mousepad, and while it has been helpful and unforgiving to my careless mistakes, I think I'd like to have something a bit more complex and easy to work with. Ideally, I could see what I was writing in real time as a webpage (kind of like when using Firefox to inspect different things on a page. I only use CSS and HTML so any application would only need to be able to do that. Sorry if this is a noob question, I still don't know much about this, and am mostly just learning at my own pace for personal enjoyment. Thanks for your help!

you can use workspaces https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/workspaces/ Sorry I don't know how to put links in correctly. I know you said GNU/linux but AFAIK it's only Chrome that lets you do this with dev tools (not firefox). I use Brave browser which is built off chrome, works same. You can make edits to html and css and see the effects immediately in the browser, and you can save it and it'll persist on your computer.

when editing text on GNU/Linux, vim or emacs is always the answer

>>15436 This, but you can use a program like "enter" to automatically re-open/refresh the page whenever you write your changes
