# CodeScriber
## A Desktop Code Editor for Linux and Windows
__Uses "web app" technology via Python, pywebview, Ace Code Editor API__
>
CodeScriber uses the "Ace" Code Editor - a Javascript library.
For detailed information about "Ace" visit the
[Ace website](https://ace.c9.io/ "https://ace.c9.io/")
CodeScriber is a desktop application. All the software runs on the local machine.
However, the "Ace" library is loaded from cdnjs.cloudflare.com,
and the AI feature requires an Internet connection.
CodeScriber is written completely in scripting languages:
HTML, CSS, Javascript, Python3, making it almost completely available to modification.
The editor resides in a python script that communicates with Javascript (Gtk WebKit2 engine,
edgechromium for Windows) via the pywebview python module.
This design allows access to the user's host machine and the use of HTML/Javascript for the GUI.
_See_ https://ace.c9.io _for information on the Ace Code Editor._
