I could never use such an online editor for a couple of reasons: - CSS editing requires a lot of shifting back and forth between preview/css and code completion. A native (mac) app like CSSEdit allows you to open up a 'live preview' that instantly refreshes while you're typing your css. - Access to your local filesystem - Although Cappuccino makes for an 'almost-desktop-like' experience. It's still not the real deal…

This app supports live preview. You can see it in the live application. It also supports most of the css3 features. And one this is just a beta app for collecting the response of the users. It will be improved according to the response of the users.

"CSS Editor" toolbar icon seems to be ripped off CSSEdit.

sorry it they are the same. I just searched for an icon in the icon finder and used it. I know my designs are poor, I am not a designer, I am a developer.

Needs more: - Rounded corners - Shadows - Animations on hover A poorly-designed site doesn't instill much confidence in your product when your target audience is designers.

most of the common css3 features are available in xeo css, rounded corners are attained using css rounded corners. It is available in borders tab, shadows are also there for both text and boxex. transitions and transforms are also included. I think you have not looked in to it yet. There is support for gradients with photoshop like gradient generator . There is a large collection of gradients as presets.

I am not sure if it's on purpose but the div with the text "class4" in it actually has the class set to "class3" and the div with "class3" is actually set to "class4". Also I found it unintuitive to click a selector on the left and then have to click "css editor" from the menu bar v.s. clicking/dbl clicking on the selector and seeing that dialog.

sorry that was an unnoticed mistake from my part. Thanks for pointing out about it. I will update it as soon as possible. The double clicking the selector is assigned to rename the selector.

Looks like a pretty straight up ripoff of Coda, except coda is awesome and this is pretty clunky.

I am not a mac user so I dont know much about coda. I saw some screenshots of coda and made some ui controls like color picker and stepper with menu from coda.

I did not mean to steal it dude. I just searched icon finder for css and picked a free icon from it. I am going to change it. I just made this app for developers and css beginners. Css experts wont need an app like this.
