There has been a number of pretty cool things built out there on the ol’ internet just for CodePen lately. I thought we could showcase several of them. CodePencil (for Windows Phone) Johannes Jakob created a fan app for browsing CodePen on a Windows Phone. CodePen OmniSearch Patrick Hart created a Google Chrome Extension called […]

This week, we’re talking about how we stay healthy at CodePen. 1:09 We’re tech workers. We stare at computer monitors all day. Our default state is “not moving”. We care about our health here at CodePen, so we try to be aware of certain things that affect our health, including diet, activity and exercise, and […]

I say “corporate” firewall, because a few weeks ago we were getting quite a few emails from people saying that CodePen didn’t work on their computers at work (usually CodePen worked fine for them at home). There was a JavaScript error in the console, and essentially the editor wouldn’t load fully and was totally non-functional. […]

This week Tim Holman will be your guest picker. Welcome Tim! I love Tim’s style. He builds some incredibly unique and interesting demos. It’s very worth following him and poking around his profile. His ideas range from the clever and unexpected, to the whimsical and beautiful, to the smart and practical. He makes use of […]

This just strikes me as a pretty good idea. If you’re planning a CodePen Meetup where the plan is to be looking at or creating Pens, it could be cool to have an official collection, that way anybody that goes has a place they can go to get back to those Pens. PDX Creative Coders […]

Searching brings up quite a bit too. When you’re browsing MaterialUp, the examples they feature that are from CodePen feature a […]

Just marking the day we hit 3,000,000 Pens. Too busy working on new cool stuff to celebrate too much!

A professor writes in: I’m teaching a course in a couple of weeks on data visualization. I’ll be using D3 for the most part. The class has around 20 students in for 7 weeks. Could you please let me know what plan makes the most sense? Also would that plan allow students to keep their […]

We used to kinda “fake” Stylus support around here. We offered it as a preprocessor and it worked great that way, but the syntax highlighting for it wasn’t quite right. The indentation behavior wasn’t quite right. And one thing that people noticed a lot, was that Emmet didn’t work quite right in that mode either. […]

Kenji Saito makes some absolutely incredible web art. He made a beautiful way to explore his work on his own site that is worth checking out. The demos float by and you can click them to open them in a Full Page view version right there.
