Hello developers 👋

After success on Hacker News two weeks ago, by looking at analytics numbers (11K returning users, and counting), I realized there's a real need in this tool.

So, I put my hands on it. Thanks to everyone for the feedback and feature requests I've received so far. A week later, I'm happy to launch its latest release. I've shifted focus from just tinkering CSS properties to learning CSS and sharing created artworks. If you can't wait, here's a direct link to the tool.

🔥 And today is the day when I've launched CSS grab n'go editor on Product Hunt 🚀, please, join the discussion here or on PH.

This project isn’t new, and it's been for a while off my focus — until now. As of today, I’ve fully refactored codebase, made it efficient, and added a bunch of new features, again thanks for the feedback.

👨‍💻 Let's start with used OSS:

• ☄ Meteor.js
• 📦 meteor-build-client
• 📦 ostrio:base64
• 📦 ostrio:templatehelpers
• 📦 seba:minifiers-autoprefixer
• 📦 fourseven:scss
• 📦 mquandalle:jade
• 📦 fps-m
• 📦 ClientStorage
• 📦 autoprefixer
• 📦 color
• 📦 cssbeautify
• 📦 jsonpack
• 📦 FontAwesome icons

✨ New features

• In the first place a lot of new CSS3 properties, like blending modes and background clipping, see this example
• Every property supported with a link to MDN documentation and its code-sample right above it
• Generated CSS, SASS, SCSS, and LESS code now well-prefixed to work on >0.5, not dead, and IE9 to IE11 with autoprefixer
• Keyboard shortcuts as in any other editor! Undo/Redo
• New sharing experiences — after the desired result is achieved it can be shared via direct link, or saved as to your snippets list
• Fonts! Now you can toggle between different fonts, default, system, and top 5 from Google Fonts. Let me know if your favorite font is missing. I'll be happy to add it :)
• Much better performance, especially on heavy filters, blurs, and 3D transitions
• Much better on mobile devices
• It's a full-featured PWA. It means you can install it via "Add to Home Screen" on iOS and Android devices and have this tool everywhere with you, even if you're offline!
• Demos, to kick your inspiration and show capabilities of this tool, I've prepared a few examples (send me yours, I'll add your "styles" and name on our list):
  • Bookmark icon
  • Triangle
  • Call-to-action button
  • Text image clipping
  • Pink scull
  • Dice of 6/Domino piece
  • "Unlock Magic" text

🏆 Project achievements (so far):

• Featured on Hacker News front page
• Featured in "A Fresh Cup" newsletter
• Featured in Frontend focus newsletter
• Featured in Indie Hackers newsletter
• 12,000 monthly returning users

I hope this tool is going to find its place in your bookmarks. Do not hesitate to ask for more features and share your CSS3 artwork, — I'll be happy to add it with your name to our snippet and example lists.
