"A one stop collection of frontend code snippets to share, test, and build"
What do you like best about CodePen?

CodePen is not just like any other code-sharing platform. It has many tools and features, making it unique from the rest. The best thing about it is that you don't have to write much code. Most of it is taken care of. You can build, edit, and see the output in real-time with almost no delay in production. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CodePen?

CodePen doesn't support any other language other than frontend stuff. It is very limited in terms of building a project. It doesn't support much of the backend. You'll have to edit in the JS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
