This is an online code editor I made but im not improving it any further until it shows some interest.
Some features:
work directly from your server through FTP
code autocompletion
split windows infinitely
save sessions that remember your files and layout
built in file explorer with Unix-y commands
tools to aid on web development
vim and emacs keyboard mode
very customizable appearance
This is a neat idea, getting real time data from a busy place like Twitter is something that rivals current search engines when it comes to get the latest news.
The problem with Windows 8 is the fact that it has two different desktops experiences. I quickly realized I felt much more comfortable using my keyboard and mouse on the desktop mode. I tried to ignore metro mode and use only the desktop but the whole metro thing is so ingrained with it's sensible corners and start menu. After some time of tweaking I could disable most of the things and ended up with something resembling a crippled Windows 7 at best.
They really had something going on with Windows 7 and they blew it. Maybe metro is ok for light usage like checking emails, browsing, multimedia, which is certainly what a lot of people do, but for a developer like me it just feels handicapped.
This is what Microsoft should do, offer different versions of Windows, one with metro the other with the desktop. I really don't think they are that stupid to just mess with the momentum Windows 7 had.
If they don't then they are finished in the desktop front, at least for people who make things with their OS and not just consume media.
