Brackets
Brackets was Adobe's open-source code editor specifically designed for web developers working with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It featured live preview functionality that allowed developers to see changes in real-time in their browser, inline editing capabilities, and preprocessor support. The editor was built using web technologies and aimed to bridge the gap between design and development. Adobe discontinued the original Brackets project, but the community has continued development under the name Phoenix Code.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionThe original Adobe Brackets has been discontinued, but it has evolved into Phoenix Code — a free, open-source successor that maintains the same core functionality. Phoenix Code is available as a native desktop app for macOS (including Apple Silicon support) and can also be used directly in the browser at phcode.io. For users seeking alternatives, Visual Studio Code is the most popular replacement, offering excellent web development features, extensive extensions, and native Apple Silicon support. Visual Studio Code provides similar live preview capabilities through extensions and has become the de facto standard for web development.
