Odiad

Odiad is a web-based integrated development environment (IDE) designed to run in a browser and to manage and edit code on a remote or local server. It provides a lightweight development interface that mirrors desktop IDEs, enabling editing, project management, and basic development workflows from a web page.

Typical features of odiad include a multi-tab code editor with syntax highlighting for common web languages, a file explorer for projects, and support for creating, renaming, or deleting files and folders. It also offers file uploads and a basic terminal or command runner for executing tools on the host. The environment is geared toward web development languages such as PHP, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, with the possibility of extending language support through plugins or configuration.

Architecture and deployment for odiad usually involve a server-side component that handles file operations and deployment tasks, paired with a client-side JavaScript application that renders the user interface and editor. The in-browser editor often relies on a code editor library such as CodeMirror or Ace to provide syntax highlighting and editing capabilities.

Licensing and availability: odiad is distributed as open-source software and can be deployed on a local or remote web server. The project is typically provided with documentation and repository access that outlines installation steps, configuration options, and licensing terms.

History: odiad developed within the broader movement of browser-based IDEs intended to offer web-based development environments that reduce the need for traditional desktop IDE installations. Over time, various community contributions and forks have appeared, refining features and compatibility with different server setups.
