Wide

Intro

A simple Web IDE for golang.

Motivation

  • There are a few of GO IDEs, and no one developed by Go itself, this is a nice try
  • Web based IDE:
    • Developer needs a browser only
    • Cross-platform, even on mobile devices
    • For the geeks
  • Team IDE:
    • Safe and reliable: the project source code stored on the server in real time, the developer's machine crashes without losing any source code
    • Unified environment: server unified development environment configuration, the developer machine without any additional configuration
    • Out of the box: 5 minutes to setup a server then open browser to develop, debug
    • Version Control: each developer has its own source code repository, easy sync with the trunk
  • Currently more popular Go IDE has some defects or regrets:
    • Text editor (vim/emacs/sublime/Atom, etc.): For the Go newbie is too complex
    • Plug-in (goclipse, etc.): the need for the original IDE support, not professional
    • LiteIDE: only run one process at the same time; no modern user interface
    • No team development experience
  • A try for commercial open source: a version customized for an enterprise, coreesponding to its development work flow

Features

  • Code Highlight, Folding: Go/HTML/JavaScript/Markdown etc.
  • Autocomplete: Go/HTML etc.
  • Format: Go/HTML/JSON etc.
  • Run & Debug: run/debug multiple processes at the same time
  • Multiplayer: a real team development experience
  • Navigation, Jump to declaration, Find usages, File search etc.
  • Shell: run command on the server
  • Git integration: git command on the web
  • Web development: Frontend devlopment (HTML/JS/CSS) all in one
  • Go tool: go get/install/fmt etc.
