<p>Chris &amp; Stephen take a look at <a href="https://codepen.io/features/projects">CodePen Projects</a> (<a href="https://blog.codepen.io/documentation/project-editor/">docs</a>), which, for the time, is an entirely different thing than <a href="https://blog.codepen.io/documentation/pen-editor/">Pens</a>. Rather than just the 3 editors: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript—you have a file system to work with, with arbitrary files and folders like you're used to with a desktop code editor like VS Code or Atom. You've still got the ability to run processors, but you can do more, like literally deploy a production version of the site.</p> <h3 id="h-sponsor-jetpack">Sponsor: <a href="https://jetpack.com/?aff=8638">Jetpack</a></h3> <p><a href="https://jetpack.com/?aff=8638">Jetpack</a> is a WordPress plugin for your self-hosted WordPress site that brings you all sorts of useful thing. For one thing, more security. It blocks malicious activity, scans your site for problems, and backs up <em>everything</em>. That backup thing is very great. I just <a href="https://twitter.com/chriscoyier/status/1356982596429897735">needed it</a> yesterday! But my favorite feature is the Site Search. It replaces the default WordPress site search (which isn't very useful) with an entirely new search experience. Not just the UI of search, but it improves the search results dramatically. I use Jetpack on all my WordPress sites.</p>
