We’ve launched a new PRO feature — editable embeds! And we’ve made some improvements to the overall embed experience for everyone. Editable Embeds PRO members, you can now make embeds of your Pens editable, just like the Editor on CodePen itself! The preview is updated live on your website as your visitors type into the […]

Algorithm is such a fancy word. The actual math part, on CodePen, isn’t all that complicated. We like to calculate the “popularity” of Pen, so we can do things with that information. For example, sort search results by popularity, so the chances of you finding useful things is higher. We calculate the popularity just as […]

Hey look at that, a post on Reddit can be an Embedded Pen! Those are the kind of swell serendipitous things that happen because we support oEmbed and are on Embed.ly.

Show Description We recently got a Dedicated Denial of Service threat email. An empty threat, probably (so far so good). But still, we’re about the right size of a business to target and any amount of research will show that sometimes these things are real. We were absolutely under no circumstances going to give criminals […]

Last Thursday we hosted a Show & Tell meetup at SOCO in Columbia, SC as part of ConvergeSE. We had a great turnout and saw some fantastic demos! Bryan Braun kicked things off with his Conways Game of Life. Tanner Hodges showed us a very appetizing restaurant website he made with the help of ZorroSVG […]

When you post a job to the CodePen Job Board, we require you to have an account. That allows you to come back at any time to edit the posting, take it down (like if you filled the position!), or renew it. We used to require you to log in (or sign up) before you […]

Just wanted to quickly mention that we upgraded some of our screenshot infrastructure. The latest version of PhantomJS is producing much nicer screenshots than it was before. We’ve also purchased more servers to load balance across so there is less wait time for a Pen’s screenshot to be upgraded. Cool fact: our screenshot servers are […]

Show Description Pagination should be simple right? It’s just some arrows you click to move between some content. We should probably be used to this by now: it’s complicated. There are UI complications (e.g. making sure the buttons stay where there are, when they can). There are UX complications (e.g. can you make it fast? […]

I think I’m supposed to say: “So meta.” Thanks to Team Dribbble! I love little stuff like this that solidifies that CodePen is a community and social network of sorts. We’re very aware of that, have lots of ideas in that vein, and will always make decisions to foster and protect that. I like your […]

Early this week, we crossed the Seven Million mark for unique Pens created on CodePen! Holy moly. CodePen creators are busy! Exciting to reach the 7 million mark. Thrilled to see what we do in next 7! pic.twitter.com/xUBQ7gygYE — CodePen.IO (@CodePen) April 4, 2016 With that big number in mind, we thought it would be […]
