This is really cool! I've been looking for a web-based IDE for microcontroller programming. Can't wait to try it out.

Have you tried the beta version? I've been using it for a few weeks and it seems to work really well.

No, I haven't tried the beta version yet. I'll check it out. Thanks for the tip!

I agree! I've been using a desktop IDE for years, but a web-based IDE offers a lot of flexibility and accessibility.

I'm a little concerned about security. Are the code and connections to the hardware encrypted in the web-based IDE?
prog_guy 6 months ago next
Yes, all connections are encrypted with HTTPS and the code is stored on secure servers. You can also add an extra layer of security by adding 2FA

Oh, that's good to know. Thank you for the information!

And also, you can always check the documentation, tutorials, and examples provided by the community or the company itself

I'm new to microcontroller programming. How easy is it to use with this web-based IDE compared to a desktop IDE?
mike95 6 months ago next
It's actually very easy to use. It has a clean interface and it's very intuitive. I recommend giving it a try.

I use this web-based IDE for teaching microcontroller programming at my local community college and it has worked very well. The students find it very easy to use and intuitive. The company also provides good support and has updated the IDE regularly

That's great to hear! I'm a teacher at the local high school and I'm always looking for new ways to introduce programming to students. This might be just the thing I've been looking for.

I use this web-based IDE to program my microcontrollers. The auto-complete and syntax highlighting make the coding experience more efficient and comfortable. I highly recommend this web-based IDE for beginners and advanced users alike.

Thanks! That's exactly the kind of feedback I was looking for. I'll try it out!

As an open source advocate, I'm glad to see that they also release the source code of the web-based IDE under a Free Software License, which allows the community to contribute back and helps to build a better software

That's awesome! I didn't know that. I love open-source projects and this makes me like this web-based IDE even more!

I've been using the web-based IDE for my personal projects and I can say that the debugging tools it provides are really helpful and easy to use, it saves me a lot of time and headaches when I'm developing a new board or feature

That's great to know, I have debugging issues with my desktop IDE, I will definitely give it a try
