While we were cleaning some house in our Projects infrastructure, we fixed a few things that we know have been annoying to some users for quite some time. You can now use .dev domains with custom domains for your Projects. Favicons will now host and display properly for deployed Projects. Sorry that took us forever.

Marie and Rach welcome Dee Vazquez back to the team! Dee talks about her journey from finance whiz to solo dev to Team CodePen’s newest fullstack developer.

You might notice a new little activity indicator on the site now, right next to where it has always said “Activity” in the sidebar.

Since CodePen is already such a lovely social place (thanks for being cool, gang!), we’ve long had our sights on improving the social features. We were hoping the Popout Preview made things a bit more social. We integrated Blocking to make sure we had appropriate safety features in place. Now we’re digging into deeper stuff, […]

I’d say in the last couple of years, configuring code editors to run a code formatter when you save the file has become a standard. Thanks in no small part to Prettier I’m sure. We use (and love) Prettier on our own codebase as well along with tools like Rubocop (which also can/does auto-formatting) to […]

That’s the name of a recent podcast on devMode.fm. Some of it is a little disheartening. Stuff you’d expect, like web devs being asked to solve ridiculous questions about algorithms and very specific JavaScript and zero questions at all about other core fundamental web technologies. I’m blogging it here because CodePen gets brought up a […]
