Brackets (legacy)

Brackets was the first editor I seriously used when learning HTML and CSS.
It had a clean interface, a live preview feature, and just enough power to feel capable without being overwhelming.

I still have a soft spot for it, it’s where I really started to enjoy writing code.

Why it mattered

  • Helped me learn HTML/CSS in a friendly environment
  • Live preview made it feel rewarding and immediate
  • Taught me editor basics before I moved on to more advanced tools

Throwback

I actually used Brackets during my Fab Academy 2015.
It was my first time building and documenting on the web, and Brackets made it approachable and fun.

Status

Brackets is no longer actively maintained, and I don’t use it anymore.
But it played an important role in getting me started, and for that it deserves a small space here.

Some tools come and go but they shape how we work.
