Coding
- Bookmarklet Crunchinator - Based on the Javascript Crunchinator Demo, you can use this to quickly create a bookmarklet from some javascript code. Enter your javascript code in the text area below Input. Enter a name for the bookmarklet in the Name field. Click crunch, and the code will be compressed, and turned into a link under output. You can then drag this to your bookmarks toolbar as a bookmarklet, or right click and bookmark it, or just click it to try it out. Note that your code will automatically be wrapped in a function to make it bookmarklet-friendly.
- EightPack consists of the following tools: JSLint, JSHint, JS Beautifier, JSMin, CSS Beautify, and cssmin.js. Uses V8 engine.
- http://code.google.com/p/minify/ - php css and js
- JShrink is a php class that minifies javascript so that it can be delivered to the client quicker. This code can be used by any product looking to minify their javascript on the fly (although caching the results is suggested for performance reasons). Unlike many other products this is not a port into php but a native application, resulting in better performance.
- CSSO (CSS Optimizer) is a CSS minimizer unlike others. In addition to usual minification techniques it can perform structural optimization of CSS files, resulting in smaller file size compared to other minifiers. Node.js.
- Collide is an open-source "collaborative IDE" demonstration. Pick a folder you want to edit on your local file system. Run Collide from the command line in that folder. You and your amigos browse to http://your_host_name:8080. Collaboratively edit :). Java.
- CSSLint is a tool to help point out problems with your CSS code. It does basic syntax checking as well as applying a set of rules to the code that look for problematic patterns or signs of inefficiency. The rules are all pluggable, so you can easily write your own or omit ones you don't want.
- Initializr is an HTML5 templates generator to help you getting started with a new project based on HTML5 Boilerplate. It generates for you a clean customizable template with just what you need to start!
Validation
- Validator.nu - (X)HTML5 Validator (Living Validator)
- http://validator.aborla.net/ - older, uses HTML Tidy
- http://htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/ - html4
- HTML Inspector is a highly-customizable, code quality JavaScript tool to help you (and your team) write better markup. It aims to find a balance between the uncompromisingly strict W3C validator and having absolutely no rules at all (the unfortunate reality for most of us).
Cleanup and Optimisation
to merge with other sections
HTML
- Holmes is stand-alone diagnostic CSS stylesheet that can highlight potentially invalid, inaccessible or erroneous HTML(5) markup by adding one class.
CSS
- CSS tools - check, refactor, minify. Toolkit that allows people to work on nicely formatted CSS, then automatically refactor and minify for publication. Python.
- Deadweight is a CSS coverage tool. Given a set of stylesheets and a set of URLs, it determines which selectors are actually used and reports which can be "safely" deleted. Ruby.
Firefox extensions;
- Dust-Me Selectors - scans HTML pages to find unused CSS selectors.

- https://github.com/operasoftware/ucss - node.js
- http://www.cleancss.com/ - web
- CSS Ratiocinator automatically refactors your CSS and generates a new stylesheet for your site. It works by examining your site's live DOM in the browser and reverse engineering a new, more elegant definition that captures styles down to the pixel.
Services
- http://unused-css.com/ - more than very basic costs
Authoring
CodeMirror
- CodeMirror is a JavaScript component that provides a code editor in the browser. When a mode is available for the language you are coding in, it will color your code, and optionally help with indentation. A rich programming API and a CSS theming system are available for customizing CodeMirror to fit your application, and extending it with new functionality.
Ace
- Ace is a standalone code editor written in JavaScript. Our goal is to create a web based code editor that matches and extends the features, usability and performance of existing native editors such as TextMate, Vim or Eclipse. It can be easily embedded in any web page and JavaScript application. Ace is developed as the primary editor for Cloud9 IDE and the successor of the Mozilla Skywriter (Bespin) Project.
Orion
- Orion is an open source project under the Eclipse top-level project. Orion's objective is to create a browser-based open tool integration platform which is entirely focused on developing for the web, in the web. Tools are written in JavaScript and run in the browser. Unlike other attempts at creating browser-based development tools, this is not an IDE running in a single tab. Links work and can be shared. You can open a file in a new tab. Great care has been taken to provide a web experience for development. Orion components are individually consumable and examples of this are Mozilla Firefox Scratchpad, Scripted Editor. All the components of Orion together can be viewed at the public facing OrionHub site where anyone can create an account and try Orion out.
Ninja IDE
- NINJA-IDE started as a project focused at providing an IDE specially designed for Python Applications Development, with this scope in mind, we put our ninja-skills into the development of a free and open source project which grows based on the community's necessities.
Cloud9 IDE
- Cloud9 IDE - Write, run, and debug your code with our powerful and flexible cloud IDE. Collaborate on your workspaces publicly, or keep them private. The choice is yours!
Node.js, ACE
Scripted
- Scripted is a fast and lightweight code editor with an initial focus on JavaScript editing. Scripted is a browser based editor and the editor itself is served from a locally running Node.js server instance.
Maqetta
- Maqetta is an open source project that provides WYSIWYG visual authoring of HTML5 user interfaces. The Maqetta application itself is authored in HTML, and therefore runs in the browser without requiring additional plugins or downloads.
BlufGriffon
- BlueGriffon is a new WYSIWYG content editor for the World Wide Web. Powered by Gecko, the rendering engine of Firefox, it's a modern and robust solution to edit Web pages in conformance to the latest Web Standards.
Brackets
- Brackets is an open-source editor for web design and development built on top of web technologies such as HTML, CSS and JavaScript. The project was created and is maintained by Adobe, and is released under an MIT License.
- aka Adobe Edge Code
Windows and Mac only as of yet.
Aptana Studio 3
