CodeMotion is a web-focused, advanced open-source code editor (IDE) with native tools for web developers
Important
If you download a pre-compiled build (exe), Windows may flag it as a keylogger, and VirusTotal may flag it for random viruses—and that’s NORMAL; I honestly don’t know why this happens. The project is in alpha development. If you don’t trust the build, you can compile the project yourself
Important
macOS: "CodeMotion is damaged and can't be opened" — this is NOT corruption. The build isn't signed with a paid Apple Developer certificate, so macOS Gatekeeper quarantines it. To fix, drag the app to /Applications, then run this once in Terminal:
xattr -cr /Applications/CodeMotion.appThe app will open normally afterwards.
