What Web Maker is

Web Maker is an offline frontend playground for building and prototyping HTML, CSS, and JavaScript projects in a browser. The editor works without an internet connection and shows an instant preview as you edit. It supports preprocessors such as SCSS, SASS, Less, Stylus, TypeScript, CoffeeScript, Pug, and Markdown. JavaScript and CSS libraries can be added through CDNJS search, popular choices including React or Tailwind CSS, or a pasted CDN URL. You can export a project to CodePen or capture its preview as a PNG. Real-time multi-user editing is available: free users join sessions, while PRO users can host and join. The free plan costs nothing, allows one public creation and two file-mode projects, stores assets locally, shows ads, and includes community support. PRO costs $4 a month and adds unlimited creations and projects, up to 5 GB cloud asset hosting, session hosting, no ads, and priority direct support. Web Maker runs on the web and as an extension.
