About Us

We are a team of engineers on a mission to make coding as simple and fun as playing a video game - driven by an obsession with simplicity and great user experience.

Crafted by the same people behind the Brackets Code Editor and iconic design tools like Dreamweaver and Illustrator, Phoenix Code builds on over a decade of experience in code editor development and a passion for UX design tools.

Our goal is to place the human aspect of coding at the heart of the user experience, to make the routine task of coding in a text editor into something more engaging and enjoyable.

Game UX

Approach code editing like a game that a school kid would play after skipping the tutorial.

Light-Weight Editor

Phoenix Code is designed to run anywhere, from mobile browsers to high-end workstations, maintaining a lightweight footprint.
