There is a good reason for the PHP not working out of the box. With Nitrous you have to choose the type of Box you want - in this case, it would be PHP. But with Codio, a Box is a Box with everything you need. Which means you are not restricted as to what you can use it for.

Check out the docs on using PHP in Codio https://codio.com/s/docs/specifics/php/, but it's a simple matter of `parts install php5 php5-apache2 && parts start apache`, and you're up and running.

I understand where you are coming from, but its difficult to decide when such a feature becomes a feature. We have syntax highlighting for Pascal, so you could argue that we support it, but of course, there is a lot more that we could do to make Pascal devs lives easier and more fruitful.

There are a lot of advantages to coding in your browser. You mentioned just one of them. But primarily it means you have no stack to install and configure, as Codio Boxes provide all that for you. Also, you will find that server development is much faster, as the connection between Codio Boxes and the internet is much faster than that of your desktop.

Other advantages include collaboration, teaching/learning, and of course no need to install or keep anything updated on your desktop - other than your browser of course.

You could do that, but if you use Codio, all you need is your browser. Nothing else! It provides the server and code editor.

There are a lot of programming languages to support, so please bear with us. But we're making good progress. What other languages do you use?

Try it and see ;)

Chrome's internal code editor may be good for editing client side code, but its no good for server-side code. Codio provides a full-stack server-side dev environment. So it's much more of an IDE than Chrome will ever be.

That is very strange, because I also use Firefox 29, and all works fine for me. What OS are you on?

The reason is that Github does not always pass on your email to us, and we need to be able to contact you. Also, your Github username is not always available on our system, so you have to verify or choose a different one, as someone else may already be using it on our system.

It's funny how many comments we've had about the music on our video. I wasn't sure at first, but Freddy, our CEO chose it so didn't want to upset him ;)

We're still in beta, so we're polishing off a few things, including performance. So please bear with us.

Thanks for your comment, but just a quick note on comparisons to jsFiddle and the like...

Tools such as JsFiddle, CodePen, etc. are extremely limited by design. They are intended to simply demo and showcase HTML, Javascript and CSS. Codio is a fully-fledged IDE and code editor, and does a lot more. Take a look at our homepage and you'll why.

So while we can do what JsFiddle and co. can, and would be delighted if you used it for that purpose, our main goal is to get you guys to use Codio as your IDE of choice.

It's on the Roadmap ;)

Sorry Freddy, I got excited and replied immediately after you. ;)

We've worked very hard on building a system that allows you to customise your keyboard shortcuts. There's still more we can and will be doing, including quick tab switching. And if you wait a few days, you'll also have a quick-open feature just like Sublime's cmd-t.

We'd love it iof you could post your feature requests on the forum http://forum.codio.com/

cheers!
