Anyone know any good code editors that let you see changes you make in real time? Been coding entirely within Neocities and it's getting to be a pain constantly refreshing pages to see if things look good LOL. I've tried VSCodium but that one doesn't let you see anything in realtime. Also should mention that I'm on Mac.

Turns out I am a fool and I already have a live preview extension installed for VSCodium. No idea why I haven't been using that LOL

kid-koda's avatar kid-koda 20 hours ago

Live preview extension is the best. I think you can also view the preview in your default browser?

@kid-koda yeah turns out that's the one I had installed already. Still not sure how I forgot I did that LOL

@xyllria Not sure if you saw my followup comment, but turns out I already had a pretty decent app installed! Might be worth giving it a try!

VSCodium + the Five Server extension. It even lets me live preview what my site looks like from my phone without installing any extra crap to it

i use phoenix code! it's not as customizable as vscodium but it has a live preview server right out of the box and a lot of features that make it convenient for webdev imo

BIG fan of the way your site is set up so far. Everything has so much personality and it's all so fun to look at! I also love how your blog posts are set up as a big newspaper. Super cool stuff!

Thanks so much!

Thanks for the follow! Really digging the whole vibe of your site. Also like someone else mentioned your archive section is really cool! Love how you have each photo within a camera frame, and the editing on the photos is really nice too

Ok so quick update from last night. They restored my access until the 20th (4/20!!!!! i have never smoked a day in my life), but my school doesn't support the automatic transfer function so I still have to move everything over maually (400+ files yippee!!!). I guess that'll teach me to store these kinds of files locally from now on LOL

@tabf5 for real dude you're not kidding. would be so much easier for editing videos too instead of keeping all of the source clips on my internal storage

Had my Adobe CC access revoked today for no reason. I've been getting it through my school and I decided to take some time off, but I'm still considered an active student so I *should* technically still have access to those benefits. Had to email my school's support so hopefully that can get resolved soon bc I use Photoshop a lot, and I do NOT feel like paying Adobe's absurd prices LOL

Gonna have to find a good alternative to their programs once I graduate because DAMN $600+ a year is *insane*. I miss the good old days when Photoshop was a one-time payment..........

finding a good alternative could work. you could also find other ways to keep using it without paying hundreds a year, i hear fmhy.net has some interesting solutions...

i would suggest to use 'krita' if you draw in raster, or 'gimp' if you more into vector and/or photos

plastigon's avatar plastigon 2 days ago

@xyllria yeah I've heard good things about Krita, but isn't that moreso used for digital art? I use Procreate for that and Photoshop is kinda my go-to for YT thumbnails and more graphic design oriented stuff. Either way I'll give it a look!

plastigon's avatar plastigon 2 days ago

@klea78 oh whoops, didn't see this reply yet! I've heard so much about Gimp that I should really just check it out once and for all haha. I know Photopea is a pretty good browser-based alternative that I've used a few times, I just wish there were a standalone application version too.

plastigon's avatar plastigon 2 days ago

@skigothy oh WOW i've never heard of this site before somehow

I can show you how to get ahold of Adobe stuff easily BUT it might also be worth using GIMP. It's what I use since my needs are simple and I find it to be pretty okay if you don't need anything fancy. I would also have recommended Affinity Studio but they got bought by Canva and seem weird now. Or maybe it's still good idk
