Finally, I'm not sure why this is all in PHP - it seems like this would be much easier to use self-hosted or otherwise packaged if it was client-side only PHP and Javascript. It doesn't look like the program does anything which couldn't be done that way trivially - please correct me if I'm wrong.
In other respects, this is pretty basic, but very well-done, particularly for a hackathon project. Nicely done!

#3 An IDE for poets
As shown on Hacker News
I'll venture: it's a nice opus
But sometimes slow to useRe: Show HN: An IDE for poets
#4It thinks "false" is two syllables, which seems to be just a dictionary problem.

#10Please don't smother it with complexity in adding the endless myriad of features people will undoubtedly try to convince you are necessary.
Playing with this has really inspired me to write something today.
Thank you.
