MetaCoding - Free Web-Based IDE
  • Hi,

    We have released a beta version of MetaCoding (http://www.metacoding.net), a free web-based IDE that allows users to create, manage and develop their programming projects online.

    It uses Ext (1.1) intensively.
    We invite you to subscribe.

    Here is a screenshot (http://www.metacoding.net/metacoding.jpg).

    You'll find more information here (http://www.metacoding.net).

    Tell us what you think! :)


  • Well done, Scrat. I've been playing with that demo what you have on the page and it's done really good.


  • Hey Filip, great to see someone that young already interested in coding! You had to get interested with a father like yours I guess :) I remember when I was 14 I was still playing with visual basic :)

    O.T. Looks very promising! Looking forward to future improvements.


  • Thanks a lot guys!

    We are aware that it is far from perfect. But this really is the beginnning of the project.

    For now, this is "just" a basic editor that allows users to create, edit and compile projects (doing jut that was really really a long process) but now we should be able to add more interesting features.

    We are creating a Blog where we'll add details on what will be the next updates. I think it might be really interesting to more advanced developers.

    When it's done we'll tell you.

    Ah and I did not have the chance to publicly thanks Jack and Ext's team for their amazing work. We really admire your work guys. Just in case, we thanked you on the website here: http://metacoding.net/ThirdParties.aspx


  • Editor looks very neat and usable. I used to work at a company where we were creating and IDE for a similar online coding project but using server side javascript. Anyways, creating an UML editor was really painfull and it looks like your's does the job admirably.

    I've shown the project to some of my coworkers and the first response was: does it outline syntax errors? :) Similar to what Visual Studio does with HTML, C# code and others. I suppose it would be too much for JVM to take care of that?


  • very well done project..

    which editor are you guys using? look like codepress to me..

    :)


  • I'm having a problem with uploading a file. When i upload a file it shows up as the original name like /home/antimatter15/Desktop/webadmin/ext/ext-all.js
    and i'm assuming it should be just ext-all.js, maybe you have some code that does a substring of the index of "" (windows uses backslashes, while *nix uses slashes).

    but suprisingly enough, it seems to work after i reload the application (pressing the refresh button).

    I have to say, it might be better than my current IDE (kate/kwrite).


  • Well... In this case why does it allow me to create C files?
    More weird: when I create a new project - there is a "C file" as option? And it is a first option :)


  • very well done project..

    which editor are you guys using? look like codepress to me..

    Thanks! No, actually we created our own editor.


    Splendid idea, great IDE, looks very promissing.

    You wouldn't happen to be hiring would you?

    Thank you too!
    Not right now. But I keep your name in mind for when we'll be looking for someone. :)


  • Awesome thingy, I myself wanted to create smth like this, but you did it much better than I could imagine :)

    But I try to compile m C project, gcc says "no input files".
    How can I build my own command line to gcc or make it compile my "main.c" file?


  • Hey, thanks a lot for the feedback!

    You're right about your remarks, I'll correct that.

    Regarding the project that must be unique, I know it's annoying but it will allow us to add an awesome feature in a near future.

    Thanks again for the feedback, it's much appreciated!

    Thanks, we put a lot of work into that project.

    Regarding your problem, is it a C project you are trying to compile? If yes, it is not supposed to work. You can only compile C++ projects not C ones. What you could do eventually, is change the extension of your file. Change "main.c" to "main.cpp".
    What's weird is that if your project is a C project, the editor should have told you that it's impossible to compile a C project. :-?

    Hope it helps.
    Thanks for your interest.

    By the way, here is our blog: http://metacoding.net/Blog/default.aspx
    You'll learn a little bit more about us and the evolution of the project.


  • Congrats, great work.

  • hello,

    just started testing your project (FF2.0.0.10 (XP/UBUNTU 7.10). Seems very promising.

    First UI notes:
    * your CAPTCHA is case sensitive (let the user know in advance)
    * New Project Form:
    - Is the description field required? (let the user know in advance)
    - Project names must be unique (whatever the user)? I got an error when trying to create a 'test project'? no error message stating why.
    * Nice Loader

    Congratulations on your project. :D
