Introducing Phoenix Code Desktop- Now on Windows, Mac & Linux 🎉
We're thrilled to share a huge update with you all today - Phoenix Code native apps are officially here! 🎉 . Get your copy from phcode.io !
We have been working hard over the last several months to make native apps possible. It took a lot of effort and perseverance with our limited resources to reach this far. We hope to have your support in doing more :)
With this update, Phoenix Code can now run almost anywhere! Native apps are available for Windows, Mac and most Linux distributions. For Chrome-OS and other platforms, simply use the web browser version; no install needed.
Looking Ahead
Our guiding principle is to make coding as intuitive and fun as playing a video game - for web developers, designers, and students.
With the native apps now available, we're starting the next phase of our journey. Beginning this month, there will be
a new update of Phoenix Code released every month.
However, our ambitions come with costs, and it's your support that makes all the difference.
How You Can Support:
- Share your feedback: https://github.com/orgs/phcode-dev/discussions
- Spread the word about Phoenix to friends and colleagues.
- Consider supporting us on Open Collective. Every contribution helps us to keep improving and expanding Phoenix Code.
We're grateful for the incredible support this community has shown us so far. Let's continue to make Phoenix Code even better, together.
With gratitude,
The Phoenix Team
