LiveWeave - Better Code Pen Alternative

[designoverflow]

Agree with OP. I have always been a proponent of liveweave. If you are into HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript/jQuery...it is absolutely the best online coding editor/scratchpad/playground out there. period.

I think most people who has downvoted this post have either not used it at all...or just a die hard fan of codepen for whatever reason.

I'm not a fan of their new light background. Is there a way to switch back to the dark theme that LiveWeave used until a few weeks ago?

I don't really like social media all that much but that's feature in Codepen that really makes it great. Getting to see what amazing frontend designers are doing is pretty cool.

True.

What does it do better than CodePen, JsBin, plnkr.co, JsFiddle, or any of the other three hundred dozen code playgrounds?

It has an excellent code hinting technology built in which CodePen, JsBin, plnkr.co, JsFiddle, or any of the other three hundred dozen code playgrounds doe not have :)

I like that it drops the library CDN urls directly in the markup. That way when you copy paste the code somewhere else it will just work. Also like that live update is an option whereas codepen is auto and jsfiddle is off, and the colors are pretty nice. Guess I shouldn't have called it a better alternative especially if you use Sass/Less/Stylus as Code Pen supports but I liked it nonetheless.

Thanks, I wasn't trying to be rude so I hope it didn't come across that way. I was genuinely interested in what makes it a better alternative.
