Brackets: The Open Source Code Editor for the Web

I just wanted to give this a try, but the "single" part not written in HTML, CSS and Javascript (the native shell it runs from) has not been ported to Linux yet.

Item 44 on their backlog. Doesn't appear to be a super high priority yet either, which makes me sad.

Yeah, when I saw "Built with HTML ...", I thought "Cool, it's cross-platform".

Well, maybe not really, since I can't use it on Linux...

There's 2 ways we can get to a Brackets running on Linux. The first option is to add a linux target to the new CEF3 based brackets-shell app. We still need the shell app to get native file system access. We've also experimented with running nodejs on the client side and getting file access over WebSockets. Brackets is then hosted on a nodejs HTTP server and run inside of Chrome instead of CEF3. This solution works, but we haven't pushed this much further than a prototype yet.

Do you have a repo with this prototype? I would really like to see this possibility pan out. I think using node to interface with file system is the most feasible and portable at this point.
