It's been a really long while since I tried hypertext out and damn, has it improved! The UI is looking a lot cleaner and more beautiful. My biggest criticism would be that the IDE does not stretch. I mean, my monitor is a bad one (4:3) ratio so the right side of the screen is cut off. I mean it's only a problem for me tho.

as for the not stretching part, it does stretch, but badly. it doesn’t really handle resolutions smaller than the default, and if you try to stretch it larger it’s just weird behaviour. I tried to make it better during development of 4.0 but I haven’t found the cause yet.

thanks for trying! sabra55

It's fine! the demographic of 4:3 is already very less so not a real problem. Keep up the good work!

cool

do you have ideas for next release? (I don’t wanna be adding languages only all the time)

Lol ok. Maybe add some basic features for JS or CSS. Like options to change UI and stuff. Mostly basic but that help.

the thing is that I’ve already said this app won’t improve CSS and JS dev’ment, only HTML. look, there’s a CSS and JS tab, you can use and the internet. any other idea?

oh ok that's cool! I actually don't have other ideas. Maybe a little preview tab that allows you to host a local server for your html?

oh boy. preview was something I’d tried to implement. said implementation failed (as can be seen by 3.12. I’m wondering whether or not I should release a patch, like 3.12.1 or smth to remove that preview button) and said implementation was also very, very flawed (it tried to save and then open in a web browser a file saved on C:\ with the date and time of the preview, like an automated version of File > Save and then opening the file). as for the local serveur idea, I like it somewhat (like that plugin for VSC) but you can blame my programming knowledge (or lack thereof) for not having it as a feature.

It's ok. You can maybe try it out later. The idea sounds cool!

I mean it won’t be web server for sure. but ye I’m looking for some other suggestions b I kinda ran out of ideas.

okk np! Ok one crazy idea. Add a random idle game in the ide. Nothing fancy. Just a little counter that goes up. Maybe hide it in the tabs. Kinda like, 100 bugs killed. 200 bugs killed. This number will increase automatically. You can use those bugs for "buying" different themes. No real money just some fun stuff. Maybe add new themes or features that need to be unlocked by how much time you spend on the IDE. It's a bad idea ik.
