Stephen and Chris jump on the podcast to talk about our (ahem, super cool) deployment feature. Any Pen can be a website! Well, they kinda are already, but you know what I mean. If you’re a PRO user all you do is click a button and the Pen is instantly deployed at a *.codepen.app website. […]

Marie and Chris talk about CodePen Challenges. We’ve been at it for many years! We get into the technology behind it, how we build our own CMS for it that powers the website and the emails that get sent about it. We also cover why they can be so beneficial for everyone involved. Time Jumps

Rach and Chris jump on the podcast to talk about the brand-new in-app notification system we built and shipped. We’re actively trying to balance a system that isn’t annoying, but allows us to show targetting information to targetted users when we think that’s valuable for both you and us. It started with “We launched 2.0!” […]

Stephen just implemented a great UI feature for the 2.0 editor where all the Panels that were previously stuck to the left side of the page can now be dragged away to become an “Editor Tab” just like a file (or Block!). Now you’ve got a lot more freedom for what you’re looking at, and […]

Chris has Jacob Miller on the show, who is building a tool called DiffUI. The big idea is that it uses a diffusion model to do prompt-to-website design rather than an LLM, because image-based models are more interesting and creative. So stay there for a while, producing really detailed visual mockups and plans, then head […]

Stephen and Chris hop on to talk about the couple of weeks post 2.0 launch. Things are certainly different in 2.0! Literally the location of certain buttons is in a new place, and that requires folks to poke around a bit and figure it out. Some people just do that and it’s a non-issue. Some […]

Just one week off our big 2.0 launch, Shaw and Chris hop on to talk about how email is actually a big part of the launch. Social media ain’t what it used to be, and not everybody is on your app every single day waiting for a notification. Sponsor: Notion With the recent launch of […]

The whole team is here! That’s a first for us. Today we’re launching 2.0, so we’re having a little fun in this episode picking out our favorite features. Time Jumps Links Plus a bonus appearance here of Marie’s victory graphic.

Marie and Chris hop on CodePen Radio for a little chat on how we’re still happily using WordPress for a variety of things here on CodePen. We’ve got it hosted on a subdomain and on a different (WordPress-specific) hosting plan than our main monorepo, so it has its own deployment process and such. We use […]

When we set out to build the 2.0 editor, another editor in the CodePen cannon, the goal was actually to reduce the number of editors we have and support. Ideally, reduce it to one. The trick is that anything an existing Pen or Project can do, this new editor needs to be able to do […]
