A self-hosted browser-based cloud IDE, updated from Codiad IDE
Atheos IDE, built on Codiad
About
Atheos is an updated and currently maintained fork of Codiad, a web-based IDE framework with a small footprint and minimal requirements. Atheos has been completely rewritten from the original Codiad project to utilize more modern tooling, cleaner code, and a wider arrange of features.
From Codiad:
"Codiad was built with simplicity in mind, allowing for fast, interactive development without the massive overhead of some of the larger desktop editors. That being said even users of IDE's such as Eclipse, NetBeans and Aptana are finding Codiad's simplicity to be a huge benefit. While simplicity was key, we didn't skimp on features and have a team of dedicated developer actively adding more."
Atheos is expanding on that mentality as much as possible, trying to minimizing it's footprint even further while maximizing functionality and performance. The major goal of Atheos is to provide users with an easy, fast and fully featured Cloud Based IDE without a large server footprint.
