Ask HN: What's the best browser-based IDE?

[jasongullickson]

I know I've seen several of these in the past but it's been awhile and I'm wondering what's the current "cream of the crop". I'm looking for IDE's/development environments that run completely in the browser and are capable of building stand-alone apps and publishing them directly to the internet. Something that can be used to develop an application with no reliance on local resources other than a web browser.

http://280atlas.com/ from the makers of the Cappuccino framework (currently available as a $20 beta) is definitely among the cream of the crop at the moment.

http://pipes.yahoo.com/ is not a general-purpose programming environment, but its in-browser IDE is certainly top-notch.

I thought atlas was MacOS only?

Looks like you're right. I'd only watched the demo video; I haven't used the beta myself.
