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
